Conservation physiology of animal migration
Migration is a widespread phenomenon among many taxa. This complex behaviour enables animals to exploit many temporally productive and spatially discrete habitats to accrue various fitness benefits (e.g. growth, reproduction, predator avoidance). Human activities and global environmental change represent potential threats to migrating animals (from individuals to species), and research is under...
متن کاملConservation physiology.
Conservation biologists increasingly face the need to provide legislators, courts and conservation managers with data on causal mechanisms underlying conservation problems such as species decline. To develop and monitor solutions, conservation biologists are progressively using more techniques that are physiological. Here, we review the emerging discipline of conservation physiology and suggest...

Global change presents a huge and exciting challenge to the study of thermal physiology. The implication of thermoregulatory strategies and abilities for the survival of individuals and species, are of high importance for predicting species response to global change challenges and ways to mitigate them, and for conservation acts. A good example of such a study is the paper by Cooper and Withers...

Conservation physiology was first identified as an emerging discipline in a landmark paper by Wikelski and Cooke (2006). They defined it as ‘the study of physiological responses of organisms to human alteration of the environment that might cause or contribute to population decline’. Although the case studies and examples presented by Wikelski and Cooke (2006) focused on wild animals, they also...

a short synopsis on the overarching topic that unites the succeeding chapters. Each chapter in the textbook has been revamped to include upto-date information specific to that sub-field of neuroscience. For example, the section on synaptic plasticity discusses recent research from the Yasuda lab on CA2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity in the dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons of th...
