Scarcity of water has brought about a number of structural, behavioural, physiological and ecological adaptations in amphibians inhabiting seasonally xeric habitats.
This book describes structural and functional adaptations of key organs such as skin, kidneys, bladder, lungs and ovaries. Behavioural responses to high temperatures mainly involve thermoregulation and the selection of optimal temperatures and humidity. Special emphasis is placed on physiological adaptations: water, electrolyte, nitrogen, and thermal balance and their endocrine control are treated in detail. Development and...

Already as a young boy, I used to walk with my late father, an ardent naturalist at heart, though to his regret not by profession, in the fields and woods on Mt. Carmel where we lived. My father, being largely an amateur ornithologist but also loving other vertebrates, was less inter- ested in the little creatures(-the invertebrates) so abundant under stones. These were, more often then not, isopods which are particularly abundant in the Mediterranean region of northern Israel, and therefore not difficult to encounter (Fig. 1). Thus, my interest in the terrestrial isopods started at an early...

Die beiden Bande umfassen samtliche von Warburg selbst zum Druck beforderten Publikationen. Das Spektrum schliesst die Dissertation uber Boticelli (1893) als erste grossere Veroffentlichung und Grundstein des Forschungsprogramms zum Nachleben der Antike ebenso ein wie die zahlreichen Gelegenheitsschriften, mit denen Warburg sich in kulturpolitischen Belangen zeitlebens engagiert zu Wort gemeldet hat. Es sind eben diese Schriften, die Warburg als Forscher bekannt gemacht und spater als Gelehrten und Bibliotheksgrunder beruhmt gemacht haben: Aufsatze und Abhandlungen zur Kunst und Kultur der...
