• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Building on the success of its popular predecessor, this second edition presents new findings on species of importance as environmental indicators. It covers nearly twice as many topics, including recent developments in the ecotoxicology of amphibians and reptiles, the current status of these animals, and the intrinsic factors that affect their susceptibility to contaminants. The book also includes information on specific groups of contaminants and their effects on herpetafauna, how contaminants interact with other ecological factors, and potential concerns for the future.
