behavioral ecology than I was expecting. For example, a 35page chapter was devoted to the important topic of digestive physiology, but only 33 pages total were devoted to adaptations to deserts, cold temperatures, and high altitudes, central topics in environmental physiology. In addition, though 15 pages were devoted specifically to the nervous system, only five address migration specifically, and only one covers adaptations to migration. Moreover, there is no specific chapter covering avian energetics, although this material is scattered throughout several other chapters. The book’s coverage of organismal physiology is generally outstanding, but mechanistic physiology is not its strong focus, outside of the aforementioned chapter on digestive physiology. Despite these minor shortcomings, this volume provides a very strong overview and synthesis focusing on organismal physiology in birds and on how organismal physiology is adjusted to meet ecological and environmental demands. The book serves as a valuable contribution to the literature on ecological and environmental physiology in birds and will help to stimulate future research in this area. As such, the book will be a useful reference for both upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and professionals working in avian ecology and physiology. However, it doesn’t serve as a truly comprehensive source for avian physiological responses to environmental variation, so other sources will be required to supplement this text for a comprehensive treatment of the environmental physiology of birds.—DAVID L.
