Energetic metabolism, stress, and immunity—development of population physiology

摘要: This review shows that the interpenetration of population ecology and animal physiology positively affects both scientific directions are important fields modern zoology. Due to progress in development telemetry non-invasive methods assess state, as well moleculargenetic permit distinguish markers reflecting individual history an individual, possibilities studying responses organism environmental impacts have been greatly expanded. The combined use traditional ecological physiological, immunological, molecular-genetic promotes reveal mechanisms responsible for stable existence dynamic environment. In addition, analysis contribution physiological immunological processes formation adaptations on level is a requirement understand their adaptive importance, which not always evident when considering problem at organism-centric level.
