Contents:

The goals and scope of this volume -- Cellular metabolism, regulation, and homeostasis -- Influence of oxygen availability -- The diving response and its evolution -- Human hypoxia tolerance -- Water-solute adaptations : the evolution and regulation of the internal milieu -- Temperature.

Summary: The study of biochemical adaption provides fascinating insights into how organisms "work" and how they evolve to sustain physiological function under a vast array of environmental conditions. This book describes how the abilities of organisms to thrive in widely different environments derive from two fundamental classes of biochemical adaptions: modifications of core biochemical processes that allow a common set of physiological functions to be conserved, and "inventions" of new biochemical traits that allow entry into novel habitats. Biochemical Adaptation: Mechanisms and Process in Physiolog.
