| Résumé : |
The objectives of comparative physiology are:
(1) to describe the diverse ways in which different kinds of animals meet their functional requirements;
(2) to elucidate evolutionary relationships of animals by" comparing physiological and biochemical characteristics;
(3) to provide the physiological basis of ecology, describing the mechanisms of tolerance of the stresses of particular habitats and the functional adaptations underlying extension of the range of a population;
(4) to call attention to animal preparations particularly suitable for demonstrating specified functions; and
(5) to lead to broad biological generalizations arising from the use of kind of animal as one experimental variable.
The present book attempts to serve two purposes:
(1) as a textbook for use in courses in comparative physiology at the advanced undergraduate early graduate level by students with some background in zoology and mammalian physiology;
(2) as a source book of sufficient detail and bibliography adequate to introduce investigators to particular branches of the subject.
No attempt is made to cover in detail the fields of cellular and mammalian physiology, although a certain amount from each is utilized; experience favors the separation of courses in comparative, cellular and mammalian physiology. The index is arranged to provide zoologists with material on the physiology of particular animal groups, and this book might well give the physiological material for courses in invertebrate zoology, protozoology, helminthology, entomology, ichthyology, herpetology, ornithology, and mamma logy. |
