Morphological and Physiological Adaptations for Browsing and Grazing
2019Woody plants and grasses are two functionally distinct food groups that pose different mechanical, nutritional, and ecological challenges to herbivores. Accordingly, herbivores have evolved an array of morphological, physiological, and behavioural life history traits that reflect each species’ primary dietary niche.

Physiological Adaptation to Environmental Changes [PDF]
, 1963 Abstract : Dogs with varying hematocrit ratios were subjected to cardiovascular and respiratory insults designed to determine what cell to plasma ratio was most effective in carrying oxygen to the tissues of the body. It was found that dogs with initial hematocrit ratios of from 35 to 39 were able to carry more oxygen to their tissues after a massive ...

Physiological Adaptations for Breeding in Birds
2012This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive account of research on avian reproduction. It develops two unique themes: the consideration of female avian reproductive physiology and ecology, and an emphasis on individual variation in life-history traits. The book investigates the physiological, metabolic, energetic, and hormonal mechanisms that underpin

Adaptive Patterns in Alkaloid Physiology
The American Naturalist, 1974Alkaloid transport and storage are reviewed, with emphasis on problems associated with presence of toxic chemicals in living plants. Many patterns in the physiology of alkaloids and other defense compounds are shaped by the twin requirements that these compounds must be inactive in the plant and yet active in the presence of herbivores.

Physiology of fetal adaptation at birth
Current Paediatrics, 1999Summary The removal of the placenta, the simultaneous initiation of pulmonary gas exchange and the change from fetal to adult circulation are rapid changes that need to occur at birth for the baby to survive. Following these immediate changes, there is a much longer, slower period of transition and growth.
