鸟类物种居住在世界上大多数环境中，它们具有适应性的生理和行为策略来繁殖和生存。除了作为宠物被驯化之外，鸟类也是重要的家畜物种，因此，导致更好鸟类繁殖的研究对家禽业产生了巨大影响。鸟类，特别是鸡，也为基础科研提供了重要的实验室模型。在这本书中，激素在这些生理事件中的作用由实验室内分泌学家从分子，生理和行为的角度进行了审查。在这卷的评论涵盖了在鸟类内分泌学的最新发展，和主题包括哺乳动物的调节，下丘脑-垂体-性腺功能，骨和软组织的生长，细胞因子和生长因子，生长和发育，神经内分泌学，行为，生殖功能，受体和信号转导，性分化，中间代谢，褪黑激素和鸟类昼夜节律系统，以及环境和保护内分泌学。
Avian species populate most of the world's environments and they have adaptive physiological and behavioural strategies for breeding and survival. In addition to being domesticated as pets, birds are important livestock species and, as such, research which leads to the breeding of better birds impacts greatly on the poultry industry. Birds, particularly the chicken, also provide important laboratory models for basic scientific research. In this book, the role of hormones in these physiological events is reviewed by laboratory endocrinologists from molecular, physiological and behavioural perspectives. The reviews in this volume cover the latest developments in avian endocrinology, and topics include osmoregulation, hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal function, growth of bone and soft tissue, cytokines and growth factors, growth and development, neuroendocrinology, behaviour, reproductive function, receptors and signal transduction, sexual differentiation, intermediary metabolism, melatonin and avian circadian systems, and environmental and conservation endocrinology.
