Community Ecotoxicology ebook Clements, William, Newman, Michael C.

Community Ecotoxicology

"Communities comprise overlapping populations that interact in time and space.� Ecological effects of contaminants may occur at several levels of biological organisation, from individuals to the entire biosphere.� Because the impact of contaminants on one population will influence other species within the community, accurate predictions and assessments can be made only by considering the entire system.� This is the first book dedicated to community ecotoxicology - the study of the effects of contaminants and other stressors on species abundance, diversity and interactions. Community Ecotoxicology is the second book in the Hierarchical Ecotoxicology Series, which is designed to bridge the gap between general ecotoxicology textbooks and highly specialised books.� Each book in the series focuses on one level of biological organization, highlighting key concepts and defining important connections between levels of organization.� Identification and discussion of ecotoxicological paradigms form the backbone of each book. Community Ecotoxicology is written for all ecotoxicologists, environmental consultants and environmental scientists.� It is a good supplementary text for postgraduates and undergraduates studying ecotoxicology, ecology and environmental science."
