"Fish have evolved to colonise almost every type of aquatic habitat and today they are a hugely diverse group of over 25,000 species. The evolution of this great diversity of species has resulted in a myriad of solutions to the demands posed by the aquatic environment. Ecologica…

"The purpose of this book is to bring together a range of scientific perspectives from biomedical research (including human health and animal models of human stress) on stress and welfare, and to assess new approaches to conceptualizing and alleviating stress. While much of the …
This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questio…
