Environmental Stress and Cellular Response in Arthropods

by Andre Korsloot, Cornelis A. M. van Gestel, Nico M. van Straalen

Overview

While the subject of environmental stress in animals is broad, the available information is fragmentary and lacks an up-to-date overview and analysis. Environmental Stress and Cellular Response in Arthropods fills these knowledge gaps. Written by three experts from the same institution, the chapters have a consistency not often found in mult

Editorial Reviews

… cover the effects of and responses to challenges fro the environment at the cellular level. … Overall, the authors make a great effort to provide a complete introduction for all researchers interested in cellular stress responses. …”
— Jesper G. Sorensen, Genetics & Ecology, University of Aarhus, Denmark, in The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 82, No. 1, March 2007
“…provides those undertaking toxicogenomics studies with a working outline for the identification of common transcriptional responses, as well as unique responses associated with particular exposures. … a valuable contribution to the stress response literature.”
