How mammals function and survive in these diverse environments has long fascinated mammologists, comparative physiologists and ecologists. 'Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Mammals' explores the physiological mechanisms and evolutionary necessities that have made the spectacular adaptation of mammals possible. It summarises our current knowledge of the complex and sophisticated physiological approaches that mammals have for survival in a wide variety of ecological and environmental contexts: terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic. The authors have a strong comparative and quantitative focus in their broad approach to exploring mammal ecophysiology. As with other books in the 'Ecological and Environmental Physiology Series', the emphasis is on the unique physiological characteristics of mammals, their adaptations to extreme environments, and current experimental techniques and future research directions are also considered. 0This accessible text is suitable for graduate level students and researchers in the fields of mammalian comparative physiology and physiological ecology, including specialist courses in mammal ecology. It will also be of value and use to the many professional mammologists requiring a concise overview of the topic 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Mammals|xPhysiology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85080270 650 7 Mammals|xPhysiology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007005 650 7 NATURE|xAnimals|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 NATURE|xAnimals|xWildlife.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xLife Sciences|xZoology|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Cooper, Christine E.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nb2016020788|eauthor. 700 1 Maloney, Shane K.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb2016020791|eauthor. 700 1 Bozinovic, Francisco,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nb2016020792|eauthor. 700 1 Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nb2016020793|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWithers, Philip C.
