Here is some further information on the difference between biomagnification and bioaccumulation, both accounting for python mercury poisoning that I wrote about this weekend. The complex terms are explained by Professor Thomas Poulson (Emeritus Professor, Ecology & Evolution Section, Department of Biological Sciences, U. Illinois - Chicago) in two easy to understand diagrams -- perfect for our readers, thank you Professor Poulson. Learn something today Readers! (Hit on images to enlarge them.)

Why this is important to you readers: You are also biological, getting water from the Everglades, and some of you are eating Everglades fish (like the Pythons).
