This chapter is an introduction to modelling in ecotoxicology,
more specifically to some existing modelling tools and their
applications. In this chapter, we will focus on some practial cases to
study the main models applied in ecotoxicology.
This chapter is divided into four sections:
1. Introduction
2. Dynamic Energy Budget models (DEB)
2.1. Introduction
2.2. Case study
3. Toxicokinetic-Toxicodynamic models (TKTD)
3.1. Introduction
3.2. Case study
4. Coupling toxicity data to ecological models: effects at the population and ecosystem scales
4.1 Introduction
4.2 Case study
