Russell G. Foster and Leon Kreitzman draw on remarkable recent scientific advances to explain how seasonal change affects organisms, and how plants and animals over countless generations have evolved exquisite sensitivities and adaptations to the seasons. The authors also highlight the impact of seasonal change on human health and well-being. They conclude with a discussion of the dangers posed when climate changes disrupt the seasonal rhythms on which so much life depends. 000336472 650_0 $$aBiological rhythms. 000336472 650_0 $$aOrganisms. 000336472 650_0 $$aSeasons. 000336472 7001_ $$aKreitzman, Leon. 000336472 85200 $$bgen$$hQH527$$i.F67$$i2009 000336472 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:336472$$pGLOBAL_SET 000336472 980__ $$aBIB 000336472 980__ $$aBOOK
