The problems of adaptation to the environment and flexibility in the face of changing environmental influences are basic to an understanding of the evolution of morphological and physiological characteristics. This paper will attempt to elucidate the role of regulation of ions and water in facilitating ecological flexibility, and the limits imposed on creatures that lack this ability.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USosmoregulationmorphologyphysiologyThesis / Dissertation
