Other titles in the New Perspectives: Toxicology and the Environment series:Toxicology of Reptilesby Susan C. Gardner
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Toxicology of Reptiles cohesively summarizes much of the cutting-edge research taking place in fields such as reptilian endocrinology, neurophysiology, immunology, and ecology. This volume also addresses conservation needs along with the complications often associated with population studies. The text is easy to synthesize and apply in the evaluation and understanding of potential risks to reptiles from environmental contaminants. This book provides a comprehensive description of the current state of knowledge of reptilian toxicology from the perspective of target organ systems. It covers major contaminant classes within each chapter, focusing on contaminants of greatest concern. Book News Annotation:To address the absence of reptiles in the ecological risk assessment
process, this volume provides a comprehensive description of current
knowledge about reptilian toxicology from the perspective of target
organ systems. The text presents the information so that it can be
easily used in evaluating potential risks of environmental
contaminants to reptiles. It covers major contaminant classes and
highlights the most pressing information gaps. The authors propose
priority directions for further advancement in the fields of
reptilian biology, wildlife and environmental toxicology,
conservation and ecological risk assessment. The text provides tools
for assessing contaminant exposure and resulting effects in reptiles
and covers neurological, genotoxic, toxicological, reproductive and
developmental effects.
