Inhaltsangabe

Conceptual Breakthroughs in Comparative Animal Physiology focuses on milestones and research achievements in comparative animal physiology. The book looks at the future of the field, illustrating how advances in technology continue to help us understand how animals work and adapt to their environments. Written by a leading expert in comparative physiology, the book follows the chronological order of discoveries and developments in the field. It covers the origins of comparative physiology in the 16th century, moving on to describe new topics such as developmental, diving and renal physiology. In addition, it examines new developments in ecological physiology and the birth of evolutionary physiology. This is an essential resource for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers interested in physiology with its comprehensive synopsis on the field’s foundational history and significant advances.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. James Hicks currently serves as a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of California Irvine. He received his M.S. in Biology and later his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Dr Hicks is a member of the American Physiological Society, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, and the Society for Experimental Biology. He has authored and contributed to numerous publications on animal physiology and ecology. Internationally, he is currently a member of the Science and Technology Advisory Committee for the University of Aarhus in Denmark.

Dr. Tobias Wang is a professor of Zoophysiology at Aarhus University. He is interested in how animals function and how they have adapted to the environments where they live. Being trained as a biologist, he takes an evolutionary approach to understand the evolution of physiological systems amongst vertebrates, and collaborate widely with medical physiologist and molecular biologists in my studies on heart function in various animals.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Conceptual Breakthroughs in Comparative Animal 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.
