A simplified ecosystem model, the Aquatic Tritrophic Ecological Risk Assessment Model (A‐TERAM), for the ecological risk assessment of chemicals is presented. The A‐TERAM comprises a linear grazer food chain with 3 trophic levels.
Achievements of the research project entitled "Establishment of a scientific framework for the management of toxicity of chemicals based on environmental risk-benefit analysis" supported by the JST were introduced and reviewed, focusing on the dev...
Studies on ecological risk assessment achieved by the department of theoretical ecology in recent years are briefly reviewed especially on the ecotoxicological experiments, the meta-analysis on published ecotoxicological data and the analytical me...
Theories in population ecology and genetics are reviewed in the context of their application to biological conservation. Specific branches of the whole topic are mean extinction time models based on diffusion equations, extinction risk due to onbr...
For the ecological risk assessment, extrapolation from toxicological data obtained at the individual level into effects at the population level is required. We review the analytical methods for translating chronic toxicity data into the effect on ...
