Originally published in 1991, this book reviews the various metabolic and functional mechanisms that animals possess in order to live successfully in their own particular, often unique, environments. The book's purpose is to demonstrate both the diversity of responses that are shown (be they biochemical, physiological or behavioural) and to demonstrate the underlying principles of gas exchange and transport for a wide range of diverse organisms. What results is a useful review and analysis of our modern understanding of the respiratory physiology of helminths, crustacea, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The approach taken by the editors is essentially comparative and the individual authors were chosen so as to provide a useful, complementary view of the subject.
Industry Reviews
"...is refreshing and, for those not in the field, describes what can only be called incredible adaptation to energetic demands; incredible in diversity, complexity, specificity, capacity, and beauty. Readers at all levels should find something to enjoy and will find this book an excellent starting place for forays into the comparative biology of gas transport and metabolic regulation." Bookshelf
