The Physiology of Dolphins

The Physiology of Dolphins explains the complex physiological problems of dolphins that are largely driven by technological developments of biologging tools. Sections cover the complete physiology of the mammal and include information on current threats for dolphins and whales from environmental pressures such as climate change, overfishing, pollution and our increasing human presence in the ocean. Users will find a collection of review chapters from leaders in the field of dolphin ecophysiology, making this comprehensive resource essential for instructors, researchers, and graduate students interested in the physiological and anatomical adaptations that make life possible for this charismatic marine mammal. This is an excellent reference providing easy to follow details of the latest available research methods and technologies that is expanding the field of physiology in marine mammals.
