* Discusses a range of environmental stressors, including metals, metalloids, pharmaceuticals, and nanoparticles
* Examines ecological and toxicological effects resulting from emerging crop protection products and biofuel production
* Addresses atmospheric pollution that leads to species range shifts, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, and impacts of heightened UV influx
* Presents several case studies demonstrating effects of contaminants on species and impacts on communities

Updating the extremely successful Wildlife Toxicology and Population Modeling (CRC Press, 1994), Wildlife Toxicology: Emerging Contaminant and Biodiversity Issues brings together a distinguished group of international contributors, who provide a global assessment of a range of environmental stressors, including pesticides, environmental contaminants, and other emerging chemical threats, and their impact on wildlife populations.
