The book begins by describing in detail the mechanisms of energy
exchange - radiative, convective, conductive and evaporative -
together with techniques for their determination. The discussion
extends to the importance of CO2, ozone and methane, together with
that of aerosol pollutants and the evolution of atmospheric CO2.
Subsequent chapters apply the results of the biophysical methods to
mammals, birds and aquatic animals. Discussion includes problems of
shelter and shade for animals in tropical environments and
techniques for the thermal evaluation for shelters and for several
tree types. The details of heat exchange between animals and the
environment are presented, in separate chapters covering Mammals
and Birds and Aquatic Mammals. A chapter on Shade and Shelter
describes the importance of shade for animals, factors of shade
efficiency, the protections offered by shelter and methods of
calculating the protection afforded by both shade and shelter. A
Special Methods chapter offers a variety of techniques for
evaluating cutaneous and respiratory evaporation, and practical
methods for sampling of hairs and the evaluation of hair coat
characteristics.
