A hands-on approach to understanding the impact of local and global stresses on ecosystems Ecotoxicology: A Case-based Approach follows a “learning by doing” approach, building a deeper understanding of this multi-faceted discipline through the guided analysis of five carefully selected case studies that between them address both local and global anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem structure and function. The book is divided into three sections. Section I covers the definition, history and methodology of ecotoxicology. Section II comprises five case studies, each detailing a selected anthropogenic stress, showing how the ecotoxicological approach has been used to explain its environmental impact and by doing so has provided mitigation and restoration strategies. The final section highlights future directions of ecotoxicology. To aid in reader learning, each chapter includes a test bank and reading list for further study. Written by a highly experienced instructor with more than 30 years of studying and teaching the subject, Ecotoxicology includes case studies on: Acid rain in the past and in the presentFinfish and shellfish aquacultureThe extraction of bitumen from the oil sands of Alberta, CanadaThe release of toxic metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium, and the dumping of chemical wastes and other contaminants of concern in the Great Lakes areaEcotoxicology: A Case-based Approach is an essential guide for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students in ecology and environmental sciences, as well as professionals and policy makers concerned with the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.
