Produktinformationen zu „Environmental Physiology of Animals (PDF)“
The new and updated edition of this accessible text provides a comprehensive overview of the comparative physiology of animals within an environmental context.
* Includes two brand new chapters on Nerves and Muscles and the Endocrine System.
* Discusses both comparative systems physiology and environmental physiology.
* Analyses and integrates problems and adaptations for each kind of environment: marine, seashore and estuary, freshwater, terrestrial and parasitic.
* Examines mechanisms and responses beyond physiology.
* Applies an evolutionary perspective to the analysis of environmental adaptation.
* Provides modern molecular biology insights into the mechanistic basis of adaptation, and takes the level of analysis beyond the cell to the membrane, enzyme and gene.
* Incorporates more varied material from a wide range of animal types, with less of a focus purely on terrestrial reptiles, birds and mammals and rather more about the spectacularly successful strategies of invertebrates.

Autoren-Porträt von Pat Willmer, Graham Stone, Ian Johnston
Pat Willmer began her research career in neurobiology atCambridge, progressively switching to broader interests in
invertebrate physiology and the interactions of physiology,
ecology, and behavior. Her current interests at St Andrews mainly
focus on insect environmental physiology, and effects on
insect-plant interactions.
Graham Stone began his research career in entomology at
Oxford, progressively switching to broader aspects of the biology
of insect-plant interactions. His current interests at
Edinburgh mainly focus on pollination ecology (particularly of
Acacia communities in Africa) and the biology of oak
gallwasps.
Ian A. Johnston began his research career at Hull and
Bristol. His research group at St Andrews is currently utilizing
genomic, molecular, physiological, structural, and whole organism
approaches to investigate muscle development and growth in teleost
fish, with particular reference to temperature adaptation and the
evolution of Antarctic and Arctic species.
