Course objectives
The lecture introduces into problematics of physiological processes in animal groups living in diverse ecological environments. It draws from human physiology resources and provide basics fundaments of molecular physiology. The main objective of the course is to obtain contemporary knowledge of physiological regulation mechanisms and undertand them in broad adaptive and evolutionary context.
