Résumé : | Product DescriptionIn this second edition of a widely influential book, the authors discuss the major aspects of nutrition, anatomy and physiology in all of the major groups of vertebrates. The authors have added three new chapters and have updated and expanded all the other chapters. They have also included new drawings and nearly doubled the bibliography. Stevens and Hume discuss relationships among digestive strategies, diet and environment throughout the text, and consider them together in a chapter on the evolution of the digestive system. The final chapter offers a brief summary of the major concepts and suggests future directions for research. Book DescriptionThis book is for anyone interested in the structural and functional characteristics of the digestive system and how these vary among vertebrates. It discusses all of the major aspects of nutrition, anatomy and physiology in vertebrates and emphasizes the relationship between digestive strategies and the diet and environment. |
