Product Description: Molecular, genetic and modelling techniques are central to ecology, providing valuable new tools for addressing complex ecological questions. Genes in the Environment presents a review of the recent research in this exciting and rapidly developing field, illustrating how such techniques have provided considerable new insights into our understanding of the dynamics of populations and communities...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

A cautionary exploration of the effects of toxic pollution on the environment examines how exposure to chemicals that mimic the female hormone estrogen has had a massive effect on both human and animal fertility rates and health. 10,000 first printing. (view table of contents)

Product Description: This first volume in the series provides a detailed treatment in ecotoxicology and stresses why genetics is important in understanding if and how chemical contaminants affect populations. Written by an array of international contributors from various fields covering mammals, invertebrates, fish, plants, as well as molecular ecotoxicology, this book considers both ecological/evolutionary consequences and practical implications of the interplay between chemical toxicants and the genetic population...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This is a major new textbook in environmental science by Vladimir Savchenko, uniquely qualified as a geneticist and environmental scientist who has also written the definitive work on the after-effects of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion (The Ecology of the Chernobyl Catastrophe, Parthenon Publishing, 1995)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Although unpredictable and of short duration, periods of extreme environmental stress occur throughout the entire course of evolution. This book concentrates on the evolutionary changes that take place during these critical periods, when populations are driven to the extreme limits of resistance...read more
