Stress Physiology is a book category focused on how organisms detect, respond to, and adapt to stressors, spanning humans, animals, and plants. Titles explore mechanisms from molecules to whole systems, including neuroendocrine and autonomic pathways (HPA axis, sympathetic–adrenal responses), immune and metabolic changes, oxidative and heat-shock responses, and concepts such as allostasis and allostatic load. Plant stress physiology covers drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and pathogens, with emphasis on signaling networks (abscisic acid, reactive oxygen species) and tolerance strategies. The category includes foundational theory, measurement and biomarkers (e.g., cortisol, heart rate variability), experimental models, and applied perspectives in medicine (stress-related disorders), performance and resilience, occupational health, animal welfare, agriculture, and climate resilience. It encompasses textbooks, research monographs, handbooks, and practical guides for students, researchers, and practitioners.
