Features:

Presents the latest information on subtle biomarkers that detect environmental stress before it affects the environment more noticeably or shows up in animal physiology and reproduction
Addresses fundamental and applied aspects of ecological biomarkers
Identifies the best "sentinel species"- those highly sensitive species that will show signs of toxicity before others and serve as an alarm
Explains the use of biomarkers to identify bioactive compounds in complex mixtures by using effect directed chemical analysis
Aids engineers in evaluating the effects of industrial effluent, particularly in rivers, streams, and estuaries
Includes numerous case studies throughout the text

Summary

With contributions from experts in the field, this book presents a synthesis of the state of the art in the methodology of biomarkers and its contribution to ecological risk assessment. The text explores the latest knowledge and thinking on this very important approach for the assessment of environmental health, management, and conservation. It describes the core biomarkers currently used in environmental research concerned with biological monitoring, biomarkers which correspond to the defenses developed by living organisms in response to contaminants in their environment, and biomarkers that reveal biological damage resulting from contaminant stressors.
