Role of Calcium and Comparable Cations in Animal Behaviour.

Role of Calcium and Comparable Cations in Animal Behaviour.

Calcium and comparable cations are fast being recognised for their role as vital components of animal physiology. When trying to answer questions such as why salmon can adjust to life in fresh water as well as seawater, or why chilli peppers taste hot to humans but evoke little response from chicken...
