This book starts with the physical properties of water, and the influence that it has on biological design. It then looks at the effect of the environment on physiology. Finally it studies how the evolutionary history of the animal influences the solution employed. 410 0$aOxford animal biology series. 606 $aOsmoregulation 615 0$aOsmoregulation. 676 $a571.7/5 700 $aBradley$b Timothy J$01804779 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962897003321 996 $aAnimal osmoregulation$94352989 997 $aUNINA
