Publisher Description Comprehensive, contemporary, and engaging, Animal Physiology provides evolutionary and ecological context to help students make connections across all levels of physiological scale. One of the major challenges instructors and students face in Animal Physiology is making connections across levels of biological scale. Animal Physiology addresses this challenge by providing ecological and evolutionary context to the study of physiology at all levels of organization: genome, molecular biology, biochemistry, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.Hills inclusion of ecology and evolution helps readers gain a holistic perspective on animal function and sets Animal Physiology apart from texts that focus more narrowly on physiology. Hills Animal Physiology is trusted by instructors and students because of its authoritative, current, engaging, and lavishly illustrated presentation.The eBook offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features and links that offer extra learning support: Find the eBook on VitalSource.FeaturesNew co-author, Daniel Cavanaugh (Loyola University Chicago), joins the team. All chapters on neurons and nervous systems provide updated content and pedagogy, including extensive reorganization and streamlining of chapters on neurons and synapses, enhanced coverage of sensory physiology and the vertebrate central nervous system, and updated discussion of the cellular-molecular mechanisms of circadian clocks.Enhanced genomics and molecular content-including a new section on proteins as molecular machines-is incorporated while retaining focus on the whole animal and ecological relations.Physiological implications of global change are discussed in new or expanded treatments of temperature, aridity, and environmental O2 availability and pH.Revised and updated sections on muscle mechanics clarify how the organ-level properties of muscle such as length, contraction speed, and architecture influence organismal performance.Electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation are presented with all-new artwork; content on endocrine environmental physiology is greatly enhanced; sections on altitude physiology are completely rewritten to reflect current progress; treatment of epigenetics is expanded, including epigenetic effects on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis; metabolomic insights into hibernation are incorporated; tracheal breathing systems, open circulatory systems, diving by marine mammals, and comparative mammalian kidney architecture (and functional implications) are illustrated with new, cutting-edge images; evolution of osmoregulation is discussed with the latest insights from species with multiple freshwater colonization events.All figures have been reviewed for pedagogical effectiveness and increased accessibility: more than 140 figures have been revised and over 50 new figures incorporated, plus greatly enhanced use of drawings and photos to familiarize readers with the animals under study.New to the Fifth Edition and available on the Oxford Learning Link site, a curated list with links to over 130+ relevant and engaging videos to be used in lecture presentation.Embracing opportunities for a "less is more" approach, hundreds of sentences and dozens of paragraphs have been improved for efficiency and effectiveness.Word counts have been reduced by 5-10% in virtually all chapters to streamline presentation and permit a more open design format.Enhanced ebook with Dynamic Animations and Figures, Learning Objectives, Self-Assessments, End-of-Chapter Assignable Quizzes, Flashcards, Box Extensions, and Additional References.New to this EditionNEW Learning Objectives (in enhanced E-book ONLY)NEW In-line Dynamic Animated FiguresNEW Self-assessments; 3 multiple choice questions after each section headerNEW "Guest Box" stories200 upgraded illustrations"Less is more", word count has been reduced by 10% from previous ed.Updated genomics and molecular content, proteins as molecular machines Author Biography Richard W.
