The theme of this book is the invasion of land by animal lines
which originated in aquatic environments. It brings together
physiological and ecological evidence to show both the likely
routes taken out of the sea by the aquatic ancestors of terrestrial
animals and the changes in structure and function associated with
these routes. The author takes an ecophysiological approach, and by
using representative examples, provides a novel background against
which both the terrestrial adaptations of individual species and
the make up and function of terrestrial ecosystems can be
considered. Dr Little is the author of the highly acclaimed book
The Colonisation of Land, which discusses the phylogeny and
physiology of terrestrial and semi-terrestrial animals. The
Terrestrial Invasion takes a fresh approach and provides an
excellent introduction to the origins of land animals suitable for
ecologists, physiologists and evolutionary biologists.
