书目名称 | Ecophysiology of Amphibians Inhabiting Xeric Environments | 编辑 | Michael R. Warburg | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Adaptations of Desert Organisms | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Scarcity of water has brought about a number of structural, behavioural, physiological and ecological adaptations in amphibians inhabiting seasonally xeric habitats. .This book describes structural and functional adaptations of key organs such as skin, kidneys, bladder, lungs and ovaries. Behavioural responses to high temperatures mainly involve thermoregulation and the selection of optimal temperatures and humidity. Special emphasis is placed on physiological adaptations: water, electrolyte, nitrogen, and thermal balance and their endocrine control are treated in detail. Development and metamorphosis, larval competition for food resources, and reproductive strategies are only a few of the exciting topics in the chapter on ecological aspects. | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | Amphibien; Anpassung; Lurche; Trockenheit; adaptation; amphibians; drought; ecology; ecophysiology; environme | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-60357-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-64369-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-60357-0Series ISSN 1430-9432 | issn_series | 1430-9432 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1997 |
