Seventeen papers focus on the interface between toxicology, life history, and demographic theory. Th examines the different ways of assessing the potential impact of toxic stress on populations and discusses how to obtain insight into the underlying physiological and genetic mechanisms. The theory is illustrated with empirical observations on a number of species and organizational levels. Ths incorporates case studies, real data, life history models, methodologies, and recommendations for risk assessment. The course of evolution in polluted environments is also discussed.
