From the Back Cover
Population Ecotoxicology explores the science of contaminants in the biosphere and toxicant effects on populations. Topics include: * The population context for ecotoxicology * Epidemiology of noninfectious disease in populations * Population dynamics and demography * Translating individual effects to population effects using energy allocation theory and phenotypic plasticity * Toxicant-related natural selection * The effect of toxicants on the genetic qualities of populations Population Ecotoxicology is essential reading for all ecotoxicologists, environmental consultants and environmental scientists. The Hierarchical Ecotoxicology Series is a sequence of five books designed to bridge a widening gap between general ecotoxicology textbooks and highly specialized books. Each book in the series focuses on one level of biological organization at a time, highlighting key concepts and defining important connections between levels of organization. Identification and discussion of ecotoxicological paradigms form the backbone of each book.
