Request a sales quoteHormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 2: Amphibians is the second of five second-edition volumes representing a comprehensive and integrated overview of hormones and reproduction in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The book covers endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behavior, and the anatomy of amphibian reproduction. It provides a broad treatment of the roles of pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones in all aspects of reproduction, as well as descriptions of major life history events. New to this edition is a concluding assessment of the effect of environmental influences on amphibians.
This book is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in amphibians, as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and a presentation of our understanding of reproductive events gained over the past decade. It may serve as a stand-alone reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of herpetology or as one of five coordinated references aligned to provide topical treatment across vertebrate taxa for researchers, practitioners, and students focused on vertebrate endocrinology.
• Includes pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones
• Focuses on anuran, urodele, and gymnophiona amphibians
• Provides new coverage on environmental disruption in amphibians
Researchers and practitioners focused on vertebrate hormones, reproduction, and use of animals as models in human reproductive research, Advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying animal endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, and vertebrate reproduction
