他们证明的适应被详细描述和能量，水平衡，和新陈代谢的后果被考虑。特别部分回顾了哺乳动物对高海拔生活的适应，以及那些潜水或挖洞的哺乳动物。本章的最后一部分考虑了专门的运动模式，如cursoriality和brachiation。蝙蝠的飞行适应性及其对代谢、体温调节、消化、呼吸和循环系统的影响受到了相当大的关注。最后，不寻常的类型的食物和适应加工植物材料进行审查，注意不同的解剖和生物化学适应哺乳动物消化。倒数第二章概述了哺乳动物生理学研究的各种方法和技术;本章涵盖了广泛的方法，包括系统发育，代谢（能量），循环和分子方法。本文综述了同位素在自由生活的哺乳动物中的应用，使其能够在该领域研究水周转和饮食。最后，热成像和无线电遥测技术不仅有助于研究野外的热损失和体温，还有助于研究动物的运动和栖息地的利用。简短的最后一章的结论和未来的方向强调了生理学研究的重要性，保护生物学和预测持续的气候变化对哺乳动物的范围的后果。表型可塑性和表观遗传学也可以使用生理学方法进行研究。本章的最后一部分表明，农业和兽医科学也可能受益于对哺乳动物的生理研究，这些研究调查了它们对环境变化的反应。这本书是非常免费的错误;只有少数错别字和失踪的参考资料被注意到。这卷似乎不适合生理生态学的一学期课程;只是有太多的材料，主题并不总是在一些章节中以逻辑顺序呈现。然而，作为一本通用参考书，这卷书包含了大量的最新信息，使读者能够全面了解哺乳动物的生理学，因此，属于你的书架。自Per Scholander，Knut Schmidt-Nielsen和Max Kleiber以来，生理生态学已经走过了漫长的道路！
adaptations they demonstrate are described in detail and the energetic, water balance, and metabolic consequences considered. Special sections review adaptations of mammals to living at high altitudes, and those that dive or burrow. The concluding part of the chapter considers specialized locomotion modes such as cursoriality and brachiation. Bats receive considerable attention with respect to their adaptations for flight and its consequences for their metabolism, body temperature regulation, and digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Finally, unusual types of food and adaptations for processing plant material are reviewed with attention to different anatomical and biochemical adaptations for mammal digestion. The penultimate chapter outlines various approaches and techniques to the study of mammal physiology; this chapter covers a broad range of methods including phylogenetic, metabolic (energetic), circulatory, and molecular approaches. The increasing use of isotopes in free-living mammals enabling studies of water turnover and diet in the field is reviewed. Finally, thermal imaging and radiotelemetry facilitate the study of not only heat loss and body temperature in the field, but also animal movements and habitat use. The short last chapter on conclusions and future directions emphasizes the importance of physiological studies for conservation biology and for predicting the consequences of ongoing climate change on mammal ranges. Phenotypic plasticity and epigenetics may also be investigated using physiological methods. The last part of this chapter suggests that agriculture and veterinary science may also benefit from physiological studies of mammals that investigate their responses to environmental change. The book is remarkably free of errors; only a few typos and missing references were noted. This volume seems unsuited for a 1-semester course in physiological ecology; there simply is too much material, and topics are not always presented in a logical order within some chapters. Nevertheless, as a general reference book, this volume contains an enormous amount of recent information that enables the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of the physiology of mammals, and hence, belongs on your shelf. Physiological ecology has come a long way since Per Scholander, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, and Max Kleiber!
