Conceptual Breakthroughs in Comparative Physiology focuses on the major milestones and research achievements in comparative animal physiology throughout history. This book also looks towards the future of the field and illustrates how advances in technology continue to drive the goal to understanding how animals work, and how they have adapted to their environments.

Written by a leading expert in comparative physiology, this book follows the chronological order of discoveries and developments in the field. It begins by covering the origins of comparative physiology in the 16th century, moving on to describe its first true implementation in the 19th century with new topics such as developmental, diving, and renal physiology. The book then goes on to examine new developments in ecological physiology and the birth of evolutionary physiology, moving in to the 21st century to cover more modern topics such as biosensors, genomic influence, and climate change.

Conceptual Breakthroughs in Comparative Physiology is an essential resource for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers interested in physiology and providing a synopsis of the field's foundational history and significant advances
