Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 2

This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature, and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative names is provided.

A complete, essential and up to date reference for research scientists working on vertebrate hormones and reproduction - and on animlals as models in human reproductive research Covers the endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behaviour and anatomy of vertebrate reproduction Structured coverage of the major themes for all five vertebrate groups allows a consistent treatment for all Special chapters elaborate on features specific to individual vertebrate groups and to comparative aspects, similarities and differences between them

Autorentext
David O. Norris is Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado. He obtained his BS from the Baldwin-Wallace University and his PhD from the University of Washington. His broad research areas include environmental endocrinology and forensic botany. In the area of environmental endocrinology, his studies have focused on the neuroendocrine control of thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive functions with special interest in the role of environmental factors that alter the activities of these neuroendocrine systems.Kristin H. Lopez obtained her MA and PhD at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research interests include morphological and physiological aspects of vertebrate reproduction and development, especially sex differentiation and ovarian function in reptiles and amphibians. She has enthusiastically supported the development of young scientists through teaching, textbook development, outreach, and programs to increase diverse representation in STEM.

Klappentext
Volume 2, Amphibians, of Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates brings together the current knowledge of the reproductive endocrinology of amphibians, with emphasis on synthesis rather than summation. Chapter coverage includes anurans, urodeles, and caecilians. Model species have been emphasized in some cases, but they are balanced with discussions of reproductive cycles of major groups. The volume has been organized along traditional lines by first focusing on components of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis and then by discussing specific topics of particular importance to amphibian reproduction (stress, maternal adaptations, behavior, and endocrine disruption).

Zusammenfassung
Provides a coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates. This title features terminology to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature, and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative names is provided. It is suitable for research scientists working on vertebrate hormones.
