Principles of Animal Physiology combines clear explanations, a superior art program, and a comprehensive supplements package to set a new standard for animal physiology textbooks.

With thorough coverage of the cellular and molecular basis of animal physiology,  an overarching evolutionary theme, and an emphasis on the integration of physiological systems, Christopher Moyes and Patricia Schulte present animal physiology in a current, balanced, and accessible way, allowing students to understand and retain the information. Large, carefully designed, full-color artwork guides students through complex systems and processes while in-text pedagogical tools help them learn and remember the material. The book includes the most up-to-date research on animal genetics and genomics, methods and models, and offers a broad range of vertebrate and invertebrate examples, with a student-friendly writing style that is consistently clear and engaging.

Principles of Animal Physiology comes with a complete supplements package, including an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM, a Companion Website for students, and two optional media programs - PhysioEx™ laboratory simulations and InterActive Physiology tutorials - that can be packaged with the text at a discounted price.

Integration of physiological systems gives students a deeper understanding of animal physiology.

  • Chapter-opening essays explain integrative physiology in an interactive context that engages students and enhances learning.
  • Integrating Systems sections at the end of each chapter in Part II describe how a function of a particular physiological system interacts with other systems.
  • The endocrine system is discussed in each organ system in the Part II chapters to show its integrated role in regulating each organ system.

Consistent attention to evolution emphasizes the importance of this process.

  • Evolution and Diversity boxes link chapter content to the overarching theme of evolution.
  • Some chapter-opening essays provide an evolutionary context.

Thorough, up-to-date coverage of the cellular and molecular basis of physiology provides a solid introduction to recent research developments.

  • Genetics and Genomics boxes examine the latest genetic research, especially as it relates to the evolution of animal physiological systems.
  • Methods and Model Systems boxes discuss experimentation and the use of model systems in animal physiology.

Animal-based examples are drawn from both vertebrates and invertebrates for a varied representation of organisms.

In-chapter pedagogical aids include headline-style concept statements that help students preview and review key ideas; review questions that check student comprehension of facts and concepts; synthesis questions that require students to integrate and critically assess the material; chapter overviews and summaries; and several signpost features. 

Superior art program facilitates learning by guiding students through complex physiological systems and functions.

Clear and engaging writing style captures students' attention and makes complex physiological concepts and processes easy to understand.

  • Mathematical Underpinnings boxes allow students to read about the physics and mathematics underlying physiology without losing the thread of the narrative or getting bogged down in equations and quantitative material.
  • Self-contained chapter reviews of chemistry, biochemistry, and cell biology can be assigned or covered in class to address the needs of students with varying levels of science background.
  • Applications boxes show students how animal physiology is relevant to a variety of fields.

Comprehensive supplements package for students and instructors includes Instructor's Resource CD-ROM and a powerful Companion Website. The InterActive Physiology® 8-System Suite CD-ROM and PhysioEx™ V6.0 laboratory simulations can be packaged with the text at a discounted price.

Christopher D. Moyes received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia in the area of comparative muscle physiology. After postdoctoral fellowships in molecular physiology at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Simon Fraser University, he took a position at Queen's University, where he is an associate professor in the Department of Biology. He teaches a spectrum of courses in cell biology and animal physiology, while continuing to pursue his research interests in molecular physiology and biochemistry.

Chris is a recipient of the Premier's Research Excellence Award. He is a member of the American Physiological Society and The Canadian Society of Zoologists and has served on the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada grant panel for Animal Biology. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers, including contributions to four books. Among his recent papers are Moyes, C.D., and D.L. Hood (2003) "Origins and consequences of mitochondrial variation in vertebrate muscle," Annual Review of Physiology 65: 177-201 and Moyes, C.D. (2003) "Controlling muscle mitochondrial content," Journal of Experimental Biology 206: 4285-4391.

Patricia M. Schulte received her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University in the area of evolutionary physiology focusing on the role that changes in gene expression play in evolution. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where she teaches animal physiology and evolutionary physiology and runs an active research program. Using several species of fish as model systems, her research group is particularly focused on the relationship between genetic variation, performance differences, and fitness in a changing environment. She also conducts research into applied questions relating to fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic toxicology.

Trish is a recipient of the Premier's Research Excellence Award and several teaching awards, including the UBC Science Undergraduate Society Award for Excellence in Teaching. Trish is a member of the Canadian Society of Zoologists and the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. She is an associate editor for the scientific journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.

She has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers, including two book chapters. Among her recent papers are DeKoning, A. B. L., D.J. Picard, S.R. Bond, and P.M. Schulte (2004) "Stress and interpopulation variation in glycolytic enzyme expression in a teleost fish, Fundulus heteroclitus," and P.M. Schulte (2003) "Na+/K+-ATPase alpha-isoform switching in gills of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during salinity transfer," Journal of Experimental Biology 206: 4475-4486.
