Marine Mammal Physiology - Bog

Marine Mammal Physiology: Requisites for Ocean Living explores the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals, beyond just their environment. Unlike many publications and books that cover these species from almost all perspectives, this textbook takes a step back to focus on the physiological and biochemical characteristics that have allowed these mammals as a group to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans.
