Key Points

Mercury levels in sooty terns show significant correlation with marine ecosystem health.
Sooty terns exhibit alterations in behavior due to elevated mercury concentrations found in their habitats.
Assessment reveals sooty terns effectively indicate the presence of pollutants across pantropical regions.
Implications may support the use of sooty terns in monitoring mercury pollution for better ecosystem management.
