General Information

Energy 1 These lectures deal with the fundamental aspects of energy and energy expenditure of animals.
Energy 2
Energy 3
Energy 4
Thermoregulation 1 These lectures cover various aspects concerning thermoregulation of both exothermic and endothermic animals
Thermoregulation 2
Thermoregulation 3
Thermoregulation 4
Temperature Control This lecture looks at some of the control mechanisms associated with temperature
Low temperature How some animals are able to cope with very low temperatures, focussing on the use of antifreezes and supercooling
Osmoregulation 1 These lectures deal with the problems associated with water balance in both the aquatic and the terrestrial environments 
Osmoregulation 2
Osmoregulation 3
Lactation Mammals are unique amongst in that females provide milk for their offspring. The ecophysiological implications of this are dealt with in this lecture
Altitude Animals living at high altitude have to cope with reduced PO2 levels. This lecture looks at the adaptations to this environment
Diving 1 These lectures deal with behaviour and physiology of animals that are predominantly secondarily aquatic and how they are able to exploit the rich food resources of the aquatic medium.
Diving 2
Diving 3
