Las aves rapaces, centinelas de la contaminación

Los resultados demuestran que los niveles hepáticos de Zinc (Zn) y de Arsénico (As) serían en general bajos y no supondrían riesgo alguno para las especies consideradas.
Por el contrario, "los niveles de Plomo en algunas rapaces diurnas, y los de Cadmio (Cd) en otras nocturnas, podrían llegar a suponer un riesgo ecotoxicológico...

Thank you!

Indicator species

Definition
Indicator species are defined as species which can provide information on ecological changes and give early warning signals regarding ecosystem processes in site-specific conditions due to their sensitive reactions to them. They can also be called sentinel species, indicator organisms, biological indicators ("bioindicators"), biological markers, or environmental indicators. The latter three expressions do not necessarily refer to species but also to other environmental elements which can indicate environmental changes.


Peer comment(s):
agree Andrés Martínez : Absolutely, sentinel species or indicator species.

thanks, Urico - yes, indicator species would be great also :-)
agree Gabrielle Leyden : "raptors" if already clear you're talking only about birds. If chapter is titled "Birds of prey" you could even drop "raptors" from the section title
11 mins
thanks, Gabrielle - I usually say raptors in such cases, but birds of prey would be fine too :-)
agree Philippa Smith : I prefer sentinel species out of these options
20 mins
thanks, Philippa :-)
agree Tony M : I think the technical term 'sentinel SPECIES' is important, otherwise it would be likely to be misunderstood figuratively

thanks, Tony - yes, I feel it's essential to say species here too :-)

birds of prey, sentinels of pollution/contamination

I see nothing wrong with the literal translation here, and see no need to add the word "species"
Note from asker:
I think you are right, Carol.
Peer comment(s):
agree Dolores Bonaparte : I agree.

thanks Dolores!
neutral Tony M : Because 'sentinelt species' is a technical term, whilst 'sentinel' on its own is likely to be misunderstood as figurative.
7 hrs
whether technical or figurative, it's still quite clear (to me!)
