Review
"...remains the primary reference for avian physiologists. ...I recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in avian physiology." -Jim Reynolds in IBIS (2000)
Product Description
"Sturkie's Avian Physiology" is the classic comprehensive single volume on the physiology of domestic as well as wild birds. The "Fifth Edition" is thoroughly revised and updated, and includes new chapters on the physiology of incubation and growth. Chapters on the nervous system and sensory organs have been greatly expanded due to the many recent advances in the field. The text also covers the physiology of flight, reproduction in both male and female birds, and the immunophysiology of birds. The "Fifth Edition", like the earlier editions, is a must for anyone interested in comparative physiology, poultry science, veterinary medicine, and related fields. This volume establishes the standard for those who need the latest and best information on the physiology of birds. It includes features such as: thoroughly updated and revised; coverage of both domestic and wild birds; and new larger format. It is the only comprehensive, single volume devoted to birds.
