Figure 1.
Map of Florida showing the six sites from which American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) were sampled in this study (A). The mean (± SD) total mercury concentrations (ng/g, wet mass) in alligator whole blood partitioned as a function of size class and sampling location in Florida (B). Significantly different mean mercury concentrations are denoted by different letters (significance noted by p < 0.05).
