DESCRIPTION:
Recently the need for a multidisciplinary approach to these topics has been realised, highlighted by some of the sessions to be held at the 2003 annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology such as ‘regulation of behaviour’ and ‘ mechanisms of behaviour’. The progression of chapters focuses on different aspects of the life history of a fish, from predator avoidance through to reproduction, each written by scientists currently bridging the gap between behaviour and physiology in their own specialised subdiscipline. The proposed volume aims to bring together these disciplines in a comprehensive review of the available literature. Volume 24 will be novel in actively bridging these two areas of fish biology together and considering them as inextricably linked. * Multidisciplinary and integrative research in fish biology * Written by internationally recognized researchers *
I do hope to see a second edition of this book since the editors tantalisingly mention genomics and proteomics in their introduction. Sneddon, University of Liverpool, UK, in THE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY . "In Behaviour and Physiology of Fish, Katherine Sloman, Rod Wilson and Sigal Balshine have eminently addressed the intimate interplay of the underlying physiological processes and behavioural output that enable us to better understand the proximate mechanisms and functions of fish behaviourWith reference to the title of this book review, there is indeed something fishy going on, and the link between behaviour and physiology is detailed exquisitely here. This is an exciting time for
Great introduction to the sensory biology of fish Donna da Kine This book is a collection of chapters written by different authors (all experts in their field) describing our current understanding of fish sensory biology. Classic and contemporary experiments are included to illustrate the physiology (I'd be curious to see a newer edition of this
