Produktbeschreibung

Providing the latest information on the effects of environmental contaminants and biodiversity issues on wildlife, this comprehensive reference identifies and documents examples of chemical stressor exposure and response among ecosystem receptors worldwide. Experts in the field, contributors examine new findings on wildlife toxicology of munitions-related compounds, agriculture, and biofuels. Chapters address emerging diseases and expansion of pesticide/contaminant use, impacts on biodiversity, atmospheric contaminants and climate change, population modeling, and emerging transnational issues in ecotoxicology. Several case studies throughout the book emphasize emerging contaminant and biodiversity issues.
