A comprehensive scientific volume examining the biochemical processes and physiological functions of insects. The book includes topics such as metabolism, hormones, nutrition, enzymology, and insect physiology, contributed by specialists in entomology and biochemistry.
A scientific work discussing photoperiodism, the biological response of organisms to periodic changes in day and night length. The book examines physiological and ecological aspects in plants and insects, with emphasis on experimental findings and environmental adaptation.
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.
Collection of scientific papers presented at the Symposium of the Zoological Society of London in March 1967, focusing on the structure, physiology, and ecology of molluscs. Published by Academic Press in 1968.
Scientific work examining the physiology, nervous system, sensory biology, and behaviour of octopus species as advanced marine invertebrates. Published by Chapman and Hall as a Halsted Press Book.
A scholarly scientific volume discussing the anatomy and physiology of pulmonate mollusks. Edited by Vera Fretter and J. Peake and published by Academic Press in 1975.
This work presents a comprehensive introduction to zoology, focusing on the structure, function, and diversity of animal life. It integrates principles from physiology, morphology, and evolutionary biology to provide a broad understanding of how animals are adapted to their environments. Contributions from multiple experts enhance the coverage of various sub-disciplines, including ecological re…
This work examines the various physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological factors that influence myocardial contractility, defined as the intrinsic ability of cardiac muscle fibers to contract independently of loading conditions. The authors analyze the role of ionic movements—particularly calcium—in excitation-contraction coupling, and evaluate how autonomic nervous system activity mo…
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 detailed examination of chemoreception mechanisms in marine organisms, focusing on how chemical signals are detected and processed in aquatic environments. It discusses the physiological, biochemical, and behavioral aspects of chemosensory systems across a variety of marine species, including invertebrates and fish. The work also explores ecological implications such as fee…
