520 8  Mammals are the so-called "pinnacle" group of vertebrates,
       successfully colonising virtually all terrestrial 
       environments as well as the air (bats) and sea (especially
       pinnipeds and cetaceans). 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
