Il compito della fisiologia animale è quello di descrivere, analizzare e comparare, qualitativamente e quantitativamente, le funzioni che caratterizzano il mondo animale, dagli organismi unicellulari che possiedono tutte le funzioni a quelli pluricellulari più complessi la cui integrità è garantita dalle funzioni di cellule specializzate e organizzate in tessuti e organi. Il libro inizia con la presentazione delle caratteristiche chimico-fisiche dei diversi ambienti terrestri, a cui fare riferimento per capire o giustificare la comparsa di un determinato adattamento che ha reso possibile la vita in condizioni apparentemente impossibili. Viene proposta una fisiologia animale integrata con le strategie adottate per l'adattamento all'ambiente di vita, che esamina attraverso strumenti moderni e sofisticati non solo le differenze fisiologiche tra gli organismi, ma anche i fini processi e i geni che sottendono alle differenze esistenti. Lo scopo di questo libro è di offrire agli studenti universitari che seguono vari corsi di Fisiologia fonti utili di informazioni sui sistemi fisiologici e spiegazioni chiare dei concetti fisiologici facendo riferimento agli animali (vertebrati e invertebrati) nel loro ambiente naturale, non escludendo principi e concetti legati ai vari processi fisiologici per poter capire e valutare l'origine dei vari processi e considerando argomenti di attualità come la percezione degli stimoli esterni, le strategie respiratorie (la fisiologia dell'immersione, i pigmenti respiratori) o le migrazioni. Per catturare e mantenere l'interesse degli studenti sono state inserite fotografie, figure e schemi originali per illustrare e soprattutto chiarire i vari aspetti discussi nel testo. Il risultato è un testo dai contenuti molto aggiornati, con approfondimenti che originano da ricerche scientifiche molto recenti.
