| Abstract | The aimf the present studys to evaluate the seasonal fluctuationf heavy metalsn thesopod Porcellio laevis at four uncontaminated subtropical locations. This study was carriedut at fourifferent field sitesn Assiut, Egypt. The concentrationsf cadmium, lead, copper, and zincn animal, soil, and litter (mug/gry weight) were monthly recordeduring the period from June 2002 till May 2003. There was littleifferencen metal accumulation trends between the sites. In general, thesopod showed significantncreased Pb and Zn concentrationuring summer and spring months, whereas this was not the case for Cd and Cu. The bioaccumulation (BAF) and bioconcentration factors (BCF)f the metals revealed marked seasonal changes throughout the year. Generally, BAFf metals were higheruring summer and spring, and BCF were higheruring summer and autumn. Comparing the metal accumulation with climatic fluctuations (measured)t was speculated that temperature was the main factor causing seasonal fluctuationsf thenternal metal concentrationn thesopod. |
