The authors explain why the respiratory system of modern birds is built the way it is and works the way that it does. Birds have been and continue to attract particular interest to biologists. The more birds are studied, the more it is appreciated that the existence of human-kind on earth very much depends directly and indirectly on the existence of birds. Regarding the avian respiratory system, published works are scattered in biological journals of fields like physiology, behavior, anatomy/morphology and ecology while others appear in as far afield as paleontology and geology. The contributors to this book are world-renowned experts in their various fields of study. Special attention is given to the evolution, the structure, the function and the development of the lung-air sac system. Readers will not only discover the origin of birds but will also learn how the respiratory system of theropod dinosaursworked and may have transformed into the avian one. In addition, the work explores such aspects as swallowing mechanism in birds, the adaptations that have evolved for flight at extreme altitude and gas exchange in egg | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Avian Lung Evolution; development of the avian lung and air sacs; avian respiratory system; Air sacs in | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44153-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82997-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-44153-5 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
