Vertebrate Endocrinology represents more than just a treatment of the endocrine system-it integrates hormones with other chemical bioregulatory agents not classically included with the endocrine system. It provides a complete overview of the endocrine system of vertebrates by first emphasizing the mammalian system as the basis of most terminology and understanding of endocrine mechanisms and then applies that to non-mammals. The serious reader will gain both an understanding of the intricate relationships among all of the body systems and their regulation by hormones and other bioregulators, but also a sense of their development through evolutionary time as well as the roles of hormones at different stages of an animal''s life cycle.- Includes new full color format includes over 450 full color, completely redrawn image- Features a companion web site hosting all images from the book as PPT slides and .jpeg files- Presents completedly updated and revitalized content with new chapters, such as Endocrine Disrupters and Behavioral Endocrinology- Offers new clinical correlation vignettes throughout

Vertebrate Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, provides a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the endocrine system for college and university students as well as researchers. This book is logically arranged, easily comprehended, and well-illustrated.� It covers traditional hormone-based systems and introduces all forms of chemical communication, their implications for the health of humans, domesticated, and wild vertebrates.
Written by two experts who have completed extensive research in comparative vertebrate endocrinology with an emphasis on natural and anthropogenic environmental factors influencing endocrine systems.� Collectively, the authors have taught courses in endocrinology at the undergraduate and graduate level for more than 60 years.
After first publishing in 1985, Vertebrate Endocrinology, Sixth Edition, continues to serve as an important resource for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the biological sciences, animal sciences, and veterinary sciences. Endocrine researchers will also benefit from the book's relevance in the areas of comparative, veterinary, and mammalian endocrinology.
Addresses the endocrinology of all vertebrate and non-vertebrate chordates The only endocrinology textbook that deals with evolutionary aspects of endocrine systems Includes biochemical, cellular, tissue, organismic, behavioral, and environmental aspects of chemical communication

This book addresses the biological effects of the reasonably large number of classes of compounds that have been recognized as endocrine disrupters. These compounds have been found to persist as pollutants in the environment, and have been blamed for causing developmental disorders and/or fertility problems in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and possibly humans. This book presents the relevant fundamentals of the endocrine systems of animals and humans, the toxicology, developmental toxicology, ecology, and risk assessment methods, and lays out the current state of understanding for the whole field, organized by the classes of compounds that have been identified as endocrine disrupters.

Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety examines the mechanisms that suppress feeding in vertebrate animals within the physiological and ecological contexts that drove their evolution. It emphasizes the role of predation as a selective pressure, noting that the adaptive significance of these inhibitory mechanisms may help identify novel neuroendocrine pathways in future research. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book systematically explores behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors that impact foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. Early chapters address why animals stop eating, reviewing the selective pressures that drive the evolution of both slow and rapid mechanisms for suppressing hunger and appetite. Central chapters delve into the physiological controls that have evolved to inhibit feeding, including the immense impacts of stress, anxiety, and fear on food intake. The book concludes with an examination of these pathways in humans and the evolution of obesity. While Appetite Interrupted comparatively approaches the mechanisms controlling food intake, predation, and hunger from an ecological perspective, its coverage of disordered satiety translates to practical and clinical applications of human nutrition. It is therefore an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals across broad animal science and healthcare fields.Showcases the latest developments in the ecology of foraging and predator avoidance tradeoffsSummarizes the latest developments in the behavioral and physiological mechanisms inhibiting eating and their evolutionExplores the latest developments in the support for predator release as a theory for the evolution of obesity in humansPresents case studies to aid students in learning key concepts in the ecology and physiology of feeding
