Title: Behavioural ecotoxicology
Description: "Behavioural Ecotoxicology brings together the latest research on the impact of environmental pollutants on animal behaviour. It presents studies on the short- and long-term effects of the main classes of toxicants at the level of individuals and populations. It describes the procedures used to detect and measure behavioural alterations in invertebrate and vertebrate species in both aquatic and terrestrial environments." "The book also covers the advantages and limitations of the behavioural approach for monitoring exposure and the relationship between behaviour and other bioindicators of exposure to pollutants. The book uses case studies of illustrate key points and highlight the complex interwoven nature of the subject material." "This book will appeal to biologists, ethologists, those studying the effects of environmental pollutants on animals, regulatory agencies and those carrying out environmental impact assessment."--BOOK JACKET
