Collection of scientific symposium papers on avian physiology presented at the Zoological Society of London in 1973. Covers physiological adaptations and biological functions in birds.
This textbook introduces the principles of animal physiology with emphasis on how physiological mechanisms operate and how organisms adapt to environmental challenges. It presents comparative studies across a wide range of animal groups, linking molecular and cellular processes to whole-organism function. The book explores topics such as energy metabolism, nervous and endocrine systems, circula…
This book provides a comprehensive examination of how animals interact with and adapt to their physical environment. It focuses on physiological mechanisms that enable animals to survive under varying environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, altitude, and water availability. Topics include thermoregulation, energy balance, water conservation, and behavioral adaptations. The te…
This book provides a comprehensive examination of how marine animals adapt physiologically to their environments. R. C. Newell explores mechanisms that enable organisms to survive and function under varying conditions such as temperature, salinity, oxygen availability, and food supply. The essays integrate biochemical, cellular, and whole-organism perspectives to explain energy metabolism, resp…
This book provides an introductory yet comprehensive overview of insect physiological processes, including digestion, circulation, respiration, excretion, nervous control, sensory physiology, and hormonal regulation. Designed primarily for undergraduate students of entomology and zoology, it emphasizes functional mechanisms rather than detailed biochemical pathways and includes illustrative dia…
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to animal physiology, integrating molecular, cellular, and organismal perspectives. It explains how genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and organ systems interact to produce physiological functions in animals. Topics include membrane transport, nerve and muscle physiology, circulation, respiration, digestion, metabolism, osmoregulation, endocrine reg…
Undergraduate textbook emphasizing comparative and integrative animal physiology. Covers cellular/molecular mechanisms, endocrine and nervous regulation, sensory and locomotor systems, homeostasis, metabolism, and reproduction. Strong pedagogical features: full-color art, evolutionary emphasis, end-of-chapter questions, and supplementary media (CD-ROM, online resources)
