Heavy Metal Accumulation (Cd, As, Zn, Cu, Cr) in Hair and Bones of Small Mammal Prey of the Sentinel Species Common Genet (<i>Genetta genetta</i>) in an Anthropogenic Environment of Edough Mountain Forest, Northeastern Algeria

Heavy Metal Accumulation (Cd, As, Zn, Cu, Cr) in Hair and Bones of Small Mammal Prey of the Sentinel Species Common Genet (<i>Genetta genetta</i>) in an Anthropogenic Environment of Edough Mountain Forest, Northeastern Algeria

Heavy metal pollution has complex impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, affecting biodiversity, trophic relationships, species health, and the quality of natural resources. This study aims to validate a non-invasive method for detecting heavy metals (Cd, As, Zn, Cu, Cr) in micromammalian prey, which co...
