Respiratory Biology of Animals: Evolutionary and Functional Morphology provides a modern, integrative approach to the respiratory biology of animals, adopting a strong evolutionary theme; it incorporates clear background information on the properties of respiratory gases and the media in which they are carried; it describes the structural and functional principles of invertebrate respiratory systems and analyses how animals with very different cardiorespiratory systems deal with extreme environmental challenges. 250 p.
