on student interest, potential topics range broadly, from research into

Hello all,
I will be teaching an Ecotoxicology course this fall and I've found the
following textbooks:
1) Principles of Ecotoxicology by Walker, Hopkin, Sibly and Peakall
and
2) Fundamentals of Ecotoxicology by Newman and Unger
Does anyone have experience with either of these texts, or have
I've used Newman and Unger in a graduate course a number of times and like
it.
1880's: There's lots of good fish in the sea W.S. Gilbert
1990's: Many fish stocks depleted due to overfishing, habitat loss,
and pollution.
2000's: Marine reserves, ecosystem restoration, and pollution
fundamentals of ecotoxicology is very good for a
undergraduate-graduate course. It could be used at an undergraduate
level as well. I taught Aquatic Ecotox in my previous institution.
It is easily read. Jerry Farris used it in his grad-only course when
I took it from him. He previously used a
I just finished my first year of an environmental toxicology grad program
and we used Casarett and Doull's Toxicology: The basic science of poisons
for our year long, grad level Tox course. Depending upon what you want to
cover, this book may be too deep on the tox. Another book I've seen but

I have used both in my Ecotoxicology (graduate / upper-level undergraduate)
course at Eastern Illinois University. Newman's book is by far the best. My
students also agree. Mike Newman has authored many ecotoxicology books before
creating this text for the classroom. So in essence,
I am recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to study the role of vector behavior
on the spread of a bacterial plant pathogen. The disease system:
leafhoppers, the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa and grapevines. Project has
lab and field components. We are interested in working with someone with a

Museum of Science on a Citizen Science Firefly Survey on-line. We are
interested in the distribution of firefly populations and we need your help.
