The ECOTOXicology database is a source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX integrates three toxicology effects databases AQUIRE (aquatic life), PHYTOTOX (terrestrial plants), and TERRETOX (terrestrial wildlife). These databases were created by the U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development (ORD), and the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laborator) (NHEERL), Mid-Continent Ecology Division...

Apart from the descriptive DBTK models for vertebrates, PBTK approaches have been developed with numerous human and rodent PBTK models and, to a limited extent, within the ecotoxicology arena with examples in fish (Nichols et al. 1990 Law et al. 1991) and marine mammals (Hickie et al. 1999). There is also an increasing interest in using PBTK modeling for extrapolation to wildlife species (National Health and Environmental Effect Research 2005), and for this purpose, candidate species have been identified and include the mallard duck, Japanese quail, pheasant, and chicken. There is also growing research interest to develop models for other mammalian wildlife species and amphibians to address specific research and risk assessment needs.
