Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Mammals

Mammalian Ecological Physiology

Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Mammals examines how mammals function, survive, and adapt across diverse environments. It explores physiological mechanisms and evolutionary adaptations in terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic mammals, with a strong comparative and quantitative approach. The book also covers adaptation to extreme environments, experimental techniques, and current directions in mammalian physiological ecology.
