Ecotoxicology of Metals in Invertebrates reviews the state of the
art in research concerning metal exposure of marine, freshwater,
and terrestrial invertebrates. The book focuses on the uptake and
accumulation of essential and non-essential trace metals by
invertebrates, metal detoxification and involved mechanisms,
adaptations to metal stress, metal regulation and elimination,
distribution and speciation of metals in different organs and
tissues, and interaction of metals with biotic and abiotic factors.
Toxicological studies involve histopathological, electron
microscopic, physiological, and biochemical methods. The book
emphasizes the ecological and ecotoxicological implications that
can be derived from metal exposure of invertebrates in the field.
The significance of background concentrations, the evaluation of
critical concentrations, and the establishment of environmental
quality criteria are discussed as well. Ecotoxicology of Metals in
Invertebrates is an excellent reference for ecologists,
ecotoxicologists, environmental scientists, ecophysiologists, and
students.
