By Göran E. Nilsson
Respiratory Physiology of Vertebrates: Life With and Without Oxygen by Göran E. Nilsson is an authoritative textbook that explores how vertebrates sense, acquire, transport, and utilize oxygen, as well as how some species survive prolonged periods without it. The book introduces the core principles of vertebrate respiratory physiology, including oxygen detection, uptake, circulation, and gas exchange.
Using a comparative and evolutionary approach, it examines remarkable adaptations such as deep diving in marine mammals, high-altitude performance in birds and mammals, air breathing in fishes, and extreme hypoxia tolerance. This textbook is widely used by students and researchers in animal physiology, zoology, and comparative biology.
- Examples of extreme respiratory performance show how evolution solves the problems of life without oxygen
- A summary of vertebrate respiratory physiology allows a clear understanding of how animals get the oxygen they need from the environment
- Textbook style presentation allows for uncomplicated understanding of the fundamental processes of respiratory physiology in vertebrates
