This book gives an up-to-date account of the current knowledge of cold adaptation in animals, including phenomena like hibernation, daily torpor, thermoregulation and thermogenesis, metabolic regulation, freeze tolerance, anaerobiosis, metabolic depression and related processes. For the next four years - until the 12th International Hibernation Symposium - it will serve as a state-of-the-art reference source for every scientist and graduate student working in these areas of physiology and zoology.

Animals and plants live in changing environmental conditions which require adaptation in order to cope with this. Some of these environmental changes serve as signals which have to be "sensed" and interpreted correctly by the organisms to initiate the adaptation. This signal processing is based on biochemical, molecular and neuronal processes which are discussed in this book. All examples given underline that continuous adjustment of physiological functions is an essential requirement for life and survival in complex changing environments.

This book contains the proceedings of the 11 'h international symposium dedicated to the understanding of animal "Life in the Cold", held at Jungholz (Austria), August 13-18, 2000. In 55 chapters contributed by researchers from 16 countries the current state of knowledge is reviewed, and the most recent developments and discussions in this field are highlighted. The first symposium on hibernation and life in the cold was held in 1959, and from then on they continued to occur every 3-5 years. The regular occurrence of these meetings became almost a tradition. A tradition which is entirely...

... sind fur den Organismus Sehen, Horen, Riechen, Schmecken, Fuhlen. Zu jedem Gebiet gibt Professor Neuweiler markante Beispiele fur die spezielle Anpassung der Sinnes- und Neuroleistung an bestimmte Biotope und Verhaltensweisen. Er unternimmt mit dem Leser eine Wanderung durch das Tierreich von den Quallen bis zu den Primaten und verfolgt dabei die evolutive Entwicklung der Nerven- und Sinnessysteme sowie deren Funktionen. Alle Aspekte werden durch anschauliche farbige Abbildungen illustriert.
