Willmer, Stone, Johnston : Environmental Physiology of Animals :

| 2000 | | Kart (Paperback), F:21,7x27,5 cm, 654 S, zahlr. Zeichnungen und Tabellen. | WG: Buch | | This new text provides a fresh approach to the subject of animal physiology, truly integrating comparative and environmental aspects for the first time. The book is divided into three sections: the first covers the basic principles of adaptation and problems of size and scale, the second tackles the key mechanisms in comparative physiology, and the third considers in detail how organisms (both vertebrate and invertebrate) cope with particular environments. Throughout this final section relevant comparative aspects are given prominence in boxes so that interesting topics can be explored in greater depth. | [E] | |
