Organic ligands in whale excrement support iron availability and reduce copper toxicity to the surface ocean by Patrick J. Monreal, Matthew S. Savoca, Lydia Babcock-Adams, Laura E. Moore, Angel Ruacho, Dylan Hull, Logan J. Pallin, Ross C. Nichols, John Calambokidis, Joseph A. Resing, Ari S. Friedlaender, Jeremy Goldbogen, Randelle M. Bundy

“…In comparison, 47 novel strongly-binding metallophores dominated copper-binding, curtailing its potential toxicity. These results illustrate how marine megafauna transform prey biomass into highly-labile micronutrients that they inject directly into the surface ocean, a mechanism whaling reduced by over 90%. …”
