Davis1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (XII, 302 p. 119 illus., 71 illus. in color.)3-319-98278-8 Includes bibliographical references.1. Introduction -- 2. Return to the Sea: The Evolution of Marine Mammals -- 3. Respiration and the Effects of Pressure -- 4. Metabolism and Thermoregulation -- 5. Locomotion -- 6. Physiological and Metabolic Adaptations for Breath-hold Diving -- 7. Sensory Systems -- 8. Feeding and Digestion -- 9. Sleep.This comprehensive book provides new insights into the morphological, metabolic, thermoregulatory, locomotory, diving, sensory, feeding, and sleep adaptations of Cetacea (whales and dolphins), Pinnipedia (seals, sea lions and walrus), Sirenia (manatees and dugongs) and sea otters for an aquatic life. Each chapter reviews the discoveries from previous studies and integrates recent research using new techniques and technology. Readers will gain an understanding of the remarkable adaptations that enable marine mammals to spend all or most of their lives at sea, often while hunting prey at depth.ZoologyAnimal physiologyBehavioral sciencesAnimal ecologyAquatic ecology Zoologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25007Animal Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030Behavioral Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009Animal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Freshwater & Marine Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066Mamífers marinsthubLlibres electrònicsthubZoology.Animal physiology.Behavioral sciences.Animal ecology.Aquatic ecology .Zoology.Animal Physiology.Behavioral Sciences.Animal Ecology.Freshwater & Marine Ecology.Mamífers marins599.5Davis Randall Wauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut898614MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373915703321Marine Mammals2287905UNINA
