Respiratory Physiology of Vertebrates: Life With and Without Oxygen
Goran Nilsson
Written primarily for graduate students and researchers in comparative physiology, this book describes the mechanisms of oxygen sensing, uptake and transport in vertebrates. These fundamentals are further illustrated using important examples of extreme respiratory performance, including diving in mammals and birds, air breathing in fish, and long-term survival without oxygen.
