Ecotoxicology of Amphibians and Reptiles 2nd edition PDF presents newly available findings on the species that are important environmental indicators. This new edition covers nearly twice as many topics as the first, including recent developments in the ecotoxicology of amphibians and reptiles, the current status of these animals, and intrinsic factors that affect their susceptibility to contaminants. The book also provides the latest information on specific groups of contaminants and their effects and body burdens in herpetafauna. After a review of how contaminants interact with other ecological factors, the text explores concerns for the future.
Ecotoxicology of amphibians and reptiles 2nd edition Features:
New research on the effects of pesticides, heavy metals, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and UVB
Increased focus on the effects of contaminants rather than merely reporting residue information
A synthesis of information on atrazine and its effects on gonads at low concentrations
Coverage of the potentially alarming new cadre of chemicals that have recently or are about to come on the market for which there is very little or no information
