Environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology have been losing support, resources, and recognition at universities for many years. What are the possible causes of this process? A first problem may be that the need for research and teaching in environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology is no longer seen because chemical pollution problems are considered as largely solved. Second, environmental chemis...

The fields of behavioral ecology, conservation science, and environmental toxicology individually aim to protect and manage the conservation of wildlife in response to anthropogenic stressors, including widespread anthropogenic pollution. Although great emphasis in the field of toxicology has been placed on understanding how single pollutants affect survival, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary ...

Abstract Nutritional and contaminant stressors influence organismal physiology, trophic interactions, community structure, ecosystem-level processes; however, the interactions between toxicity elemental imbalance in food resources have been examined only a few ecotoxicity studies. Integrating well-developed ecological theories that cross all levels of biological organization can enhance our und...
