An addition to the editorial team of Aquatic Toxicology and the responsibilities of the different editors

It is a pleasure to inform you that Dr Alex Ford has been added to the editorial team as a special issues editor. Alex is currently a Reader in Biology at the University of Portsmouth (England) having spent time formerly working as both a marine biologist and ecotoxicologist at universities in Wales and Scotland (UK). He completed his PhD in 2004 at Edinburgh Napier University. His thesis focussed on intersexuality and endocrine disruption in crustaceans. His expertise predominantly lies in invertebrate toxicology. He is studying the effects of a wide range of contaminants in the aquatic environment, focussing particularly on endocrine disruptors and novel compounds; plus the interaction of pollutants with other environmental stressors (e.g. parasites).
