Animal Physiology – A Malcolm Campbell

Animal Physiology

Animal Physiology by A. Malcolm Campbell and Christopher J. Paradise explores how animals regulate complex biological processes through four case studies. It examines daily biological rhythms, immune tolerance during pregnancy, body fat regulation, and the evolutionary significance of lifespan and death. The book connects physiological mechanisms with evolutionary principles to explain how animals maintain internal balance and regulate metabolic functions.
