Abstract:

Many pesticides possess the ability to disrupt the reproductive hormones, and thereby pose a hazard to wildlife. This paper reviews a number of these pesticides and their modes of action. In some cases, the effects in laboratory animals are outlined in order to highlight the possible effects in the wild, but for some pesticides, effects in wildlife are noted. (author's)
