However, their importance has traditionally been at best underestimated and at worst ignored, with physiological variation being dismissed as either an irrelevance or as random noise/error. Spicer and Gaston make a convincing argument that the precise physiology does matter! In contrast to previous works which have attempted to integrate ecology and physiology, Physiological Diversity adopts a completely different and more controversial approach in tackling EcophysiologyEcologyEcophysiology.Ecology.591.7/8Spicer John I621949Gaston Kevin J443106MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959538903321Physiological diversity and its eeological implications4360129UNINA01083nam0 22002651i 450 UON0012444420231205102730.41920020107d1986 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| 1||||Etude sur un portolan Annamite du XVe siécleG.
