Description / Table of Contents:
Osmotic and Ionic Regulation: Cells and Animals not only fills a gap in the literature, but delineates the new approaches, and findings that now define the field. Providing the first comprehensive summary of fundamentally important mechanisms of ionic and osmotic regulation in 40 years, it ties new findings to the older work of Potts and Parry. This book, written by accepted leaders in this field, dealing with the ecology to the molecular biology of the processes and the taxa, provides background in a broad range of disciplines such as zoology, evolutionary biology, physiology, ichthyology, marine biology, entomology, herpetology, avian biology, human nephrology, and pharmacology.
