For decades, we have known that chemicals affect human and wildlife behavior. Moreover,
due to recent technological and computational advances, scientists are now increasingly …

Behavioral responses have been applied for decades as tools for aquatic toxicity testing, but
have received far less attention than studies assessing lethality, development or …

The fields of behavioral ecology, conservation science, and environmental toxicology
individually aim to protect and manage the conservation of wildlife in response to …

Since the early 1970s, contaminants have been shown to affect virtually every aspect of
behavior in terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Behavior inte-grates many cellular processes …

Animal behaviour is remarkably sensitive to disruption by chemical pollution, with
widespread implications for ecological and evolutionary processes in contaminated wildlife …

Many chemical pollutants have become ubiquitous in the environment, including some that
interfere with hormones and other physiological mechanisms. These 'endocrine-disrupting …

Behavioural ecotoxicology is an emerging field dealing with the effects of environmental
pollutants on the behaviour of animals. Behavioural techniques derived from experimental …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Interest in behavioural ecotoxicology is growing, partly due to technological and
computational advances in recording behaviours but also because of improvements of …

Though initiated in the 1970s, ecotoxicology has yet to fully embrace its intended scope. The
focus on determining the effect of toxicants on single species has limited predictability and …
