Sturkie's Avian Physiology
Editat de Colin G. Scanes, Sami Dridien Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iul 2022
This book is written by international experts in different aspects of avian physiology. For easy reading and searches, this book is structured under a series of themes, beginning with genomic studies, sensory biology and nervous systems, and major organs. The chapters then move on to investigate metabolism, endocrine physiology, reproduction, and finally cross-cutting themes such as stress and rhythms. New chapters on feathers and skin are featured as well.
Sturkie’s Avian Physiology, Seventh Edition is an important resource for ornithologists, poultry scientists, and other researchers in avian studies. It is also useful for students in avian or poultry physiology, as well as avian veterinarians.
- Stands out as the only single volume devoted to bird physiology
- Features updates, revisions, or additions to each chapter
- Written and edited by international leaders in avian studies
