A foundational text in comparative physiology, this acclaimed volume explores how animals adapt to their environments through mechanisms of respiration, circulation, energy metabolism, temperature regulation, and water balance. Schmidt-Nielsens clear and engaging style makes complex biological systems accessible, with chapters structured around environmental challenges like oxygen scarcity, heat, and hydration. Richly illustrated and widely used in undergraduate and graduate courses, this book remains a cornerstone for students and researchers in zoology and physiology.
