Summary

This data set is comprised of results associated with a multi-stage experimental study to determine the effects of paralytic shellfish toxin ingestion by Common Murres (Uria aalge) conducted in 2021-2022. Data is comprised of eight spreadsheets covering each phase of the study including specific bird dosing data, behavioral observation data, foraging trial data, and tissue testing results for Saxitoxin (STX) and related congeners.

Purpose

These data provide the basis to 1) identify ecologically relevant thresholds of STX exposure on Common Murres, 2) examine the concentrations and distribution of STXs in seabird tissues, 3) evaluate the behavioral responses of murres to STX ingestion, and 4) evaluate the effects of chronic, longer term ingestions of lower levels of STX ingestion by murres.
