Anticoagulant Rodenticides and Wildlife, 1st ed. 2018 Emerging Topics in Ecotoxicology Series, Vol. 5

Couverture de l’ouvrage Anticoagulant Rodenticides and Wildlife
Commensal rodents pose health risks and cause substantial damage to property and food supplies. Rats have also invaded islands and pose a serious threat to native wildlife, particularly raptors and seabirds. Estimates of total damage from introduced rats range into the billions of dollars in developed countries. This book aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the scientific advancements in the assessment of exposure, effects and risks that currently used rodenticides may pose to non-target organisms in the environment, along with practical guidance for characterization of hazards. This will be discussed in relation to their efficacy, and the societal needs for rodent control, and discussion of  risk mitigation and development of alternatives. The flow in the book is planned as: a.    introduction and setting the scene b.    problem description (risks and effects on non-targets and secondary poisoning, development of resistance) c.  ;  alternatives, regulation and risk mitigation d.    conclusions and recommendations

Foreword
1. Anticoagulant Rodenticides and Wildlife: Introduction
2. Use of anticoagulant rodenticides in different applications around the world
3. Anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity to non-target wildlife under controlled exposure conditions
4. Pharmacokinetics of anticoagulant rodenticides in target and non-target organisms
5. Ante-mortem and post-mortem signs of anticoagulant rodenticide toxicosis in birds of prey
6. Primary exposure and effects in non-target animals
7. Secondary exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides and effects on predators
8. Spatial dimensions of the risks of rodenticide use to non-target small mammals and applications in spatially explicit risk modeling
9. Ecological factors driving uptake of anticoagulant rodenticides in predators
10. Development of resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides in rodents
11. An international perspective on the regulation of rodenticides
12. Anticoagulants and risk mitigation
13. Perspectives on existing and potential new alternatives to anticoagulant rodenticides and the implications for integrated pest management
14. Anticoagulant rodenticides and wildlife: concluding remarks

This book provides an in-depth yet broad overview on the risks that rodenticides may pose to wildlife, ranging from the biochemical and pharmacokinetic level to ecological field observations affecting secondary exposure

Dedicated chapters focus on alternative method for rodent control, including Integrated Pest Management, and on the challenge of development of resistance, with potential implications for their regulation and risk mitigation

Consideration of how to detect non-target? rodenticide poisoning in wildlife in the field, and chapters that outline how ecological, landscape and variation in control practices affect exposure and poisoning, make this book not just a scientific overview, but a reference text and a source of practical guidance to scientists, users and even interested members of the public
