Ecotoxicology of Wild Mammals (Ecological & Environmental Toxicology Series)

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...these 15 papers consider the differing effects of toxins on various species, the accuracy of predictions...and the significance of toxins relative to other threats." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)

"excellent reference book" (The BritishToxicology Society Newsletter, December 2001)

"I believe this to be a unique reference work in the field of ecotoxicology which should be invaluable to researchers in the field." (Ecotoxicology, Vol.11, No. 75, 2002)

"...a superb summary of over 30 years of toxicity studies available on wild mammals...unparalleled in its breadth and depth and should become a desktop reference for anybody in academics or industry who is involved with mammalian ecotoxicology." (Journal of Mammalogoy, Vol. 83, No. 4, November 2002)

Book Description
This landmark book, which contains contributions from the world's foremost mammalian ecotoxicologists, is a truly impressive summary of research undertaken in this field in recent years. It is also the first book to draw such information together in a seamless and unified approach.

In examining the exposure and effects of environmental contaminants in wild mammal populations, this book addresses four core questions:

• What exactly do we know about environmental contaminants in wild mammals?
• What are the commonalities and differences between mammal orders/species in the effects that contaminants have?
• How and to what degree of accuracy can we predict the adverse effects of environmental contaminants on mammalian wildlife?
• How significant are contaminant insults compared with other density-independent and -dependent factors such as habitat loss, climatic factors and disease?
