Book Description
The Wide Spectrum Of Overt Responses To Intrinsic Urges And Extrinsic Stimuli By Human And Animal Populations Or Individuals Comprehensively Termed As Ethology Or Behaviour Contributes To Their Very Survival And Success Irrespective Of Their Level Of Organization. In This Compendium, Articles Reflecting A Wide Array Of Behavioural Manifestations Are Presented Function/Phenomenon-Wise Rather Than Evolutionary Group-Wise With A View To Provide The Reader An Opportunity To Look How Living Beings Ranging From Highly Placed Humans To Lowly Placed Invertebrates React To/Respond To/Tackle Similar Situations Such As Foraging, Social Life, Mating, Reproduction, Parental Care And Environmental Stresses. It Is Hoped The Book Would Provide Interesting Reading Material To Researchers And General Readers.

Book Description
This book is designed to fill the need for a single, comprehensive source of information concerning aquatic toxicology. It presents a definitive description of basic concepts and test methods employed in aquatic toxicology studies as well as examples of typical data and their interpretation. The 23 chapters are divided into five parts. The first part - Toxicity Testing - describes the basic concepts and methodologies used in aquatic toxicity testing. Sublethal Effects, the second part, presents information on sublethal effects testing and its utility in evaluating the less obvious effects of chemical exposure on aquatic organisms. The third part - Specific Chemical Effects - summarizes the available literature on the toxicity of generic types of chemicals (such as pesticides and metals) to aquatic organisms. Chemical Distribution/Fate, the fourth part, discusses the various factors that affect the distribution and fate of chemicals in the aquatic environment and thus influence the chemical concentrations to which aquatic organisms may be exposed. The concluding fifth part - Hazard Evaluation - discusses the manner in which environmental fate and biological effects data are integrated to provide an assessment of potential hazard posed by the use of discharge of chemicals in the aquatic environment.

Book Description
Twenty years ago, researchers wishing to identify contaminated areas in aquatic environments generally took water samples, and analysed them badly (as we have since discovered) for a few "pollutants" which were of topical note at the time (and which could be quantified by the methods then available). Today, the use of aquatic organisms as biomonitors in preference to water analysis has become commonplace, and many national and interna tional programmes exist around the world involving such studies. We believe that this trend will continue, and have complete faith in the methodology (when it is employed correctly). We hope that the following text assists in some part in attaining this goal, such that the quality of our most basic global resource -water - is adequately protected in the future. DAVE PHILLIPS, PHIL RAINBOW England, March 1992 vii Acknowledgements Our thanks for contributions to this book are due to several individuals and groups, for varying reasons. Firstly, a co-authored book is always a triumph, and we trust that the following text is an acceptable compromise of the views of two individual authors, on a complex and developing topic. Secondly, many of the ideas herein have crystallised over the last two decades as the field has grown, and we are individually and collectively grateful to a number of researchers for their insight and assistance.
