Salt Balance in the Savanah Sparrow
Chicago: University of Chicago, 1963. Soft cover. A mid-twentieth-century physiological zoology offprint examining salt balance and osmoregulation in the Savannah sparrow, presenting experimental data on avian adaptation to environmental and dietary salt stress.
Reprinted in 1963 from Physiological Zoology, this paper reflects the growing postwar focus on comparative physiology and ecological adaptation in bird species, contributing to foundational research in avian environmental biology.
Stapled softcover offprint, approximately 9.25 inches tall. Pages 109–119, including charts, tables, and cited references. Reprinted from Physiological Zoology, Vol. XXXV, No. 2, April 1963. No flaws or blemishes, minimal shelf handling, light even age toning, staples secure, text and charts clean. Small piece of clear tape on the front wrap, cosmetic only.
An academic offprint produced for limited professional circulation rather than commercial sale, representative of working scientific exchange in the 1960s. Studies of salt balance were central to understanding avian survival across varied habitats, and intact offprints such as this increasingly survive outside institutional libraries only by chance.
Subjects: Ornithology, Avian physiology, Salt balance, Osmoregulation, Savannah sparrow, Physiological zoology, Twentieth-century biological research, Scientific ephemera, Academic offprints, Natural history.
