DESCRIPTION:NRS invited seminar by Dr. Jean-Pierre Desforges\, Postdoctoral
  Researcher\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University. Everyone is welcome to attend.\n\nMarine 
 mammals are among the most contaminated animals on the planet. This is due
  largely to their position at the top of marine food webs as apex predator
 s. However\, as large bodied mammals living in the sea\, this group of ani
 mals is understandably difficult to study. Thus\, while among the most sus
 ceptible to environmental pollution accumulation\, little is known of poll
 utant effects in marine mammals. Dr. Desforges will explore the evidence f
 or pollutant effects across marine mammal populations and identify priorit
 y groups of environmental chemicals. Laboratory based methods to study mar
 ine mammal toxicology will be presented\, focusing on the impact of enviro
 nmental pollutants on important immunological endpoints. Additionally\, Dr
 . Desforges will explore the need to integrate traditional ecotoxicology w
 ith stress ecology in order to capture the real world scenario in which wi
 ldlife are concomitantly exposed to a wide array of stressors\, be they na
 tural or anthropogenic. To this end\, this talk will introduce ecological 
 modelling based on dynamic energy budgets as an important approach to expl
 ore complex stress landscapes.\n
