Produktbeschreibung

Snail Sleep Patterns explores the fascinating yet understudied world of sleep in terrestrial snails, revealing the complexities of their rest cycles and the environmental factors that influence them. This book addresses a significant gap in sleep science by focusing on invertebrates, offering fresh perspectives on the evolution and function of sleep, which is often overlooked.

One intriguing aspect is how snail sleep patterns can be characterized and quantified using behavioral and physiological measures, providing a foundation for understanding sleep in other species.
Another is the profound influence of environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light on sleep duration and intensity, showcasing the adaptive nature of these biological rhythms.

The book progresses systematically, first establishing a foundation in snail biology and sleep science, then delving into laboratory experiments and field observations. It presents original research data and proposes an evolutionary framework for understanding the function of sleep in snails.

The book uniquely connects chronobiology, ecology, and neurobiology, with potential implications for understanding the effects of climate change on snail populations. By bridging scientific rigor with accessibility, Snail Sleep Patterns aims to engage a broad audience, from biologists and ecologists to nature enthusiasts.
