Note(s) : This volume offers a comprehensive history of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory
(MDIBL), one of the major marine laboratories in the United States and a leader in
using marine organisms to study fundamental physiological concepts. Beginning with
its founding as the Harpswell Laboratory of Tufts University in 1898, David H. Evans
follows its evolution from a teaching facility to a research center for distinguished
renal and epithelial physiologists. He also describes how it became the site of major
advances in cytokinesis, regeneration, cardiac and vascular physiology, hepatic physiology,
endocrinology and toxicology, as well as studies of the comparative physiology of
marine organisms. Fundamental physiological concepts in the context of the discoveries
made at the MDIBL are explained, and the social and administrative history of this
renowned facility is described
