This journal publishes research on the physiological and evolutionary adaptations of animals. Studies investigate how organisms cope with environmental stressors such as dormancy, temperature fluctuations, and salinity changes. The research also explores the physiological underpinnings of life history strategies, including aging, growth, and behavior, often examining the role of hormones like corticosterone and factors like telomere length.
