Water/Air Transition in Biology

This volume addresses fundamental biological, morphological and functional aspects of vertebrates at the water/air interface. The text then proceeds to show how these systems react and respond to change. The book discusses the application of methods and approaches developed during the last 20 years in the field of ecophysiology of animals involved in water/air transitions. It also examines the transition from water to land environment in the contet of palaeo-ecological conditions of the environment.
