Deciphering Growth (Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interactions)

Springer, 2005

An organism’s body size tells us a lot about how it makes a living, suggesting that body size is a key parameter in evolution. We outline three large-scale trends in body size evolution. Bergmann’s Rule is the tendency for warm-blooded species at high latitudes to be larger than their close relatives nearer the equator....

Integrative Physiology in the Proteomics and Post-Genomics Age

Humana Press, 2005

There is a perception in the scientific community that the discipline of Physiology is in crisis, or at least, in a phase of profound transition and change. At the root of the problem is confusion between objectives (the biological questions to be solved) and the methods and technologies to be applied. Traditionally, ever since...

Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function, and Disease

Cambridge University Press, 2002

Most animals exhibit seasonal variation in their reproduction and survival simply because most of them live in environments in which food availability varies seasonally. This is true in the tropics as well as at the higher latitudes, but at the higher latitudes the combined challenge of food shortage and low temperature makes...
