魚類生理学百科事典 第2版 Author: Sarah L. Alderman, Todd E. Gillis Publisher: Elsevier ISBN: 9780323908016 Cover: HARDCOVER Date: 2024年03月 DESCRIPTION 第 2 版の各章では、生理学的なシステムやプロセスが脊椎動物のグループ間で維持される点に焦点を当て、生理学の問題の研究や医療分野への知識移転のための脊椎動物のモデルとしての魚類の利用をサポートします。また魚類が厳しい環境で生き残るための特殊性と適応に焦点を当て、自然界への理解を深めます。最終章では生理学的なシステムの乱れによる影響や、この知識が魚類を保護するための保全戦略にどのように役立つのかを示しています。この新版では、海洋酸性化、人間活動による生息地の質の低下、組織再生、神経疾患、癌に関する生物医学的研究におけるゼブラフィッシュの使用など、魚類生理学を実社会での課題に応用することに焦点を当てたテーマ別のセクションを大幅に拡張しています。 Encyclopedia of Fish Physiology, Second Edition is a comprehensive, introductory-level reference work that aims to unite readers in the wonders of this discipline. Chapters highlight where physiological systems and processes are conserved across vertebrate groups, which supports the use of fish as a vertebrate model for investigating fundamental problems in physiology and knowledge transfer to the medical field. Other chapters highlight unique specializations and adaptations that allow fish to survive in challenging environments, leading to a deeper appreciation of the natural world. Final sections demonstrate the consequences of perturbing physiological systems and how this knowledge can empower conservation strategies to protect fish. Much has changed in the field of fish physiology since publication of the previous, Prose award winning, edition. For example, we understand better the impacts of global climate change on the physiological systems of fish, and we have gained a deeper mechanistic understanding of physiological processes through technological advancements such as gene editing with CRISPR, whole genome sequencing, and quantitative ‘omic` approaches. The new edition greatly expands the closing thematic section focused on applying fish physiology to real world challenges with topics including ocean acidification, declining habitat quality due to human activities, and the use of zebrafish in biomedical studies on tissue regeneration, neurological disorders and cancer. TABLE OF CONTENTS The Encyclopedia is structured in 3 volumes with 4 major sections that group topics and chapters thematically. This mirrors the structure of the first edition, but some topics have been reorganized and some new topics introduced. * indicates a change from the original edition. Volume 1: The Senses, Integrating Systems*, Behaviour, and Reproduction - this volume is about how fish interface with the world - Sensing the Environment e.g. the brain and nervous system, vision, hearing and the lateral line, electroreception, olfaction - Endocrine and Immune* Systems e.g. introduction to major hormone systems and their role in regulating physiological processes - Behavioural Physiology e.g. predator/prey, reproductive behaviours*, dominance, schooling*, sleep, communication* - Reproduction e.g. reproductive strategies*, sex differentiation, early development* Volume 2: Gas and Ion Exchange, Circulatory System, Energetics*, and Movement* - this volume is about how fish function internally - Gas Exchange and Ion homeostasis e.g. respiration, osmoregulation, acid/base balance, structure and function of the gills and kidneys - The Heart, Vasculature, and Blood e.g. comparative morphology, regulation of heart function, retes, blood cells, Root effect - Energy Homeostasis e.g. food intake, digestive system, metabolism, excretion - Muscles and Movement e.g. musculoskeletal system, biomechanics of swimming, locomotion, migration Volume 3: Adaptations, Specializations, and Applications - this volume establishes the importance of fish physiology by placing it in the context of other disciplines - Responses and Adaptations to the Environment e.g. hypoxia, thermal acclimation, seawater transition, bioluminescence - Life in Extreme Environments* e.g. complete darkness (cavefish), subzero temperature (icefish), alkaline lakes (cichlids), intertidal fish - Physiological Specializations of Different Fish Groups e.g. deep sea fish, air-breathing fish, elasmobranchs - Applications of Fish Physiology e.g. biomedical applications (neuroscience*, regeneration*, disease models), food science* (aquaculture; petri dish sushi), toxicology, climate change*, conservation physiology*
