Slide presentation summarizing a 2005 field study of methylmercury exposure in insectivorous bats foraging along the North Fork of the Holston River (Virginia). Authors measured total Hg in bat fur and blood, reporting much higher fur concentrations at river mile 80 (mean ≈49.9 ppm) versus 92 (≈5.0 ppm), with blood and fur strongly correlated (r²=0.82, n=28).

Review Notes :
Title on the slides contains a typographic error ('methlymercury'); I used the corrected spelling. Only a year (2005) is present on the slides, so document_date is the year. The deck reports multiple bat species but does not fully list sample breakdown by species on every slide.
