This text provides an overview of contemporary research in the area of comparative endocrinology of calcium and bone metabolism. It contains a collection of papers reviewing each main area of research: invertebrates, fish/amphibia, birds, and mammals. The papers were presented at a satellite workshop to the International Conference on Calcium Regulating Hormones held in Melbourne, Australia in February 1995. The book gives a comprehensive coverage of calcium regulation and includes topics as diverse as molluscan and dinosaur calcium metabolism. It includes the latest research on calcitonin gene-related and parathyroid hormone-related peptide function and the evolution of these hormones in lower vertebrates and invertebrates. The molecular biology of receptors to these peptides and to active metabolites of vitamin D also feature strongly.
