This new and updated edition, with two entirely new chapters,
provides a comprehensive coverage of the comparative physiology of
animals, in a strongly environmental context.
It provides full analysis of the basic principles of
physiological adaptations, in both vertebrates and invertebrates.
It now also includes new chapters on the control systems (nervous
and sensory systems, muscles, and hormones) and how they allow
integration with the environment, suitable for introductory courses
on excitable tissues
But it is unique in also providing detailed and integrated
reviews of how animals sense, react to and cope with particular
environments - the marine and freshwater worlds, the particularly
challenging seashore and estuarine zones, the different kinds of
terrestrial habitat, and the parasitic environment. In this way,
physiology is for the first time properly integrated with
ecological principles and with behavioural responses used by
animals in coping with environmental challenges.
The book provides a stand-alone core text for undergraduate
courses in comparative physiology, animal physiology, or
environmental physiology, but also provides key material for
integrating across modules in any environmental biology degree.
