Significant progress has been made in recent years in the area of animal neurotoxicology testing.
Stable isotope approaches are an important ecological tool, enabling increasingly sophisticated questions to be addressed in a number of fields [1], [2] although the majority of work has been in the area of animal foraging and resource partitioning [e.g. 3].
