With declines in both managed and wild pollinator populations in recent years, scientists and regulators have sought answers to this problem and have explored implementing steps to protect pollinator populations now and for the future. \u003ci\u003ePesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the role pesticides play in impacting bee populations and looks to develop a risk assessment process, along with the data to inform that process, to better assess the potential risks that can accompany the use of pesticide products.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators\u003c\/i\u003e opens with two chapters that provide a biological background of both \u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e and non-\u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e species of pollinators. Chapters then present an overview of the general regulatory risk assessment process and decision-making processes. The book then discusses the core elements of a risk assessment, including exposure estimation, laboratory testing, and field testing.  The book concludes with chapters on statistical and modeling tools, and proposed additional research that may be useful in developing the ability to assess the impacts of pesticide use on pollinator populations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSummarizing the current state of the science surrounding risk assessment for \u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e and non-\u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e species, \u003ci\u003ePesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely work that will be of great use to the environmental science and agricultural research communities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssesses pesticide risk to native and managed pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummarizes the state of the science in toxicity testing and risk assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides valuable biological overviews of both \u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e and non-\u003ci\u003eApis\u003c\/i\u003e pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelops a plausible overall risk assessment framework for regulatory decision making\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLooks towards a globally harmonized approach for pollinator toxicity and risk assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Fischer\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment at Bayer CropScience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Moriarty\u003c\/b\u003e is a Team Leader in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Pesticide Re-Evaluation Division\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 July 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118852521\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310941925516,"sku":"9781118852521","price":138.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118852521_6353d81b-f695-4f60-a56d-2b6e05c41c0b.jpg?v=1780140811","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118852521","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
