Physiological Mammalogy: Volume II - Mammalian Reactions to Stressful Environments

Volume I of this series dealt with mammalian populations, their social use of space, and the reciprocal role of endocrines and populations. This volume begins with an essay on the physiology and morphology of reproduction and development, both of which are affected by population size as pointed out by J. J. Christian in Volume I. Thus, while the Asdell article does not stress reproduction in a population sense, nonetheless, it provides the essential normal physiological and morphological information necessary for the comprehension of the changes wrought by stress during the reproductive period.
