Ecophysiology of Desert Arthropods and Reptiles starts with a new
classification of the world's deserts, based upon the type of
precipitation and the effect on their faunas of arthropods and
reptiles. This is followed by an account of microclimates and the
avoidance of environmental extremes. Whereas thermoregulation is
primarily behavioural, responses to water shortage are largely
physiological. Seasonal activity and phenology are described,
adaptations for burrowing, the avoidance of enemies, and defence,
are also outlined. A comparative account of interspecific
relationships, feeding specializations, and species diversity in
the two taxa is described. The purpose of the book is to provide a
new and up-to-date analysis that will stimulate further research
along these lines.
