Web Portal for Wildlife Toxicology Sites

A new web portal, the Whole Wildlife Toxicology Catalog, is now available at www.pwrc.usgs/gov/wwtc/.  The portal provides access to over 25 wildlife toxicology sites and databases from government, academia and non-profit organizations that deal with contaminant monitoring, mortality incidents, acute and chronic toxicity data, accumulation factors, toxicological reference values, interspecies correlations, and more general wildlife toxicology literature.  The portal provides brief overviews for each site.  The alphabetical listing is hot-linked to publicly accessible sites, and contact information is provided for restricted sites.  The Whole Wildlife Toxicology Catalog is one of several products of the 2007 Smithsonian-sponsored Wildlife Toxicology Workshop that USGS helped organize and plan.  For additional information, recommendations and suggested sites for the portal, contact Barnett Rattner (brattner@usgs.gov).
