| Summary: | Ecophysiology attempts to clarify the role and importance of physiological processes in the ecological relations of species in their natural habitats. The basic principles and methods that are central to any ecophysiological study are outlined and discussed, including animal capture, blood collection, and the measurement of plasma components and hormone levels. Examples are given from a wide range of vertebrates living in deserts, cold climates and oceans. |
