Animals
11
The structural property of an animal that persists through time is
its organization
11
Most cells of an animal are exposed to the internal environment,
not the external environment
11
The internal environment may be permitted to vary when the
external environment changes, or it may be kept constant
12
Homeostasis in the lives of animals: Internal constancy is often
critical for proper function

microenvironment or microclimate
22
Animals often modify their own environments
23
Evolutionary Processes
24
Some processes of evolution are adaptive, others are not
24
A trait is not an adaptation merely because it exists
25
Adaptation is studied as an empirical science
25
Evolutionary potential can be high or low, depending on
available genetic variation

Approaches to Physiology
67
Genomics
72
Genomics is inextricably linked with advanced methods of
information processing
72
One overarching goal of genomics is to elucidate the evolution
of genes and genomes
73
A second overarching goal of genomics is to elucidate the
current functioning of genes and genomes

Genomes must ultimately be related empirically
to phenotypes
74
Top-down versus Bottom-up Approaches
to the Study of Physiology
75

Phenotypic Plasticity during Development
90
Environmental effects during development may arise from
programmed responses to the environment or may be forced
by chemical or physical necessity
91
Insect polyphenic development underlies some of the most
dramatic cases of phenotypic plasticity
91
Epigenetics
93
Two major mechanisms of epigenetic marking are
DNA
methylation and covalent modification of histones
93
Epigenetic marking during an animal s early development affects
the animal s lifelong phenotype
94
Epigenetic marks on paternal and maternal copies of genes set
the stage in mammals and insects for the two copies to exert
nonequivalent
effects

Electrical gradients often influence the diffusion of charged
solutes at membranes
103
Biological aspects of diffusion across membranes: Some solutes
dissolve in the membrane; others require channels
104
Diffusion of ions across cell membranes is determined by
simultaneous concentration and electrical effects
105
Diffusion often creates challenges for cells and animals

Concentration gradients can create electrical gradients that alter
concentration gradients

Thermal radiation permits widely spaced objects to exchange
heat at the speed of light

Poikilothermy (Ectothermy)
233
Poikilotherms often exert behavioral control over their body
temperatures
234
Poikilotherms must be able to function over a range of body
temperatures
234
Poikilotherms respond physiologically to their environments in
all three major time frames
234
Acute responses: Metabolic rate is an approximately exponential
function of body temperature
235
Chronic responses: Acclimation often blunts metabolic
responses to temperature
236
The rate-temperature relations and thermal limits of individuals:
Ecological decline occurs at milder temperatures than acute
stress
239
Evolutionary changes: Species are often specialized to live at
their respective body temperatures

Temperature and heat matter to animals because they affect the
rates of processes and the functional states of molecules

Poikilotherms threatened with freezing: They may survive by
preventing freezing or by tolerating it

Homeothermy is metabolically expensive
255
Insulation is modulated by adjustments of the pelage or
plumage, blood flow, and posture
256
Heat production is increased below thermoneutrality by
shivering and nonshivering thermogenesis
256
Regional heterothermy: In cold environments, allowing some
tissues to cool can have advantages
257
Countercurrent heat exchange permits selective restriction of
heat flow to appendages

Active evaporative cooling is the ultimate line of defense against
overheating

the body fluids

The Relations of Animals to Water
788
Large body size is a physiological advantage in terms of water
costs

Coexisting species are diverse in their relations to drinking
water
789
Water conflicts threaten animals and people
792
All species of large herbivores require considerable amounts of
preformed water
793
Water and food resources in the deserts and dry savannas are
often complex
