Produktinformationen zu „Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates “
No comprehensive treatment of the reproductive endocrinology of reptiles has been released since 1987. Volume 3, Reptiles, in the five-volume work Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates brings together the current knowledge of the reproductive endocrinology of reptiles, with emphasis on synthesis rather than summation. Model species have been emphasized in some cases, but this is 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 selected specific topics of particular importance to reptilian reproduction (pheromones, stress, behavior, viviparity, and endocrine disruption). Chapter coverage of reproductive cycles is provided for the major groups: crocodilians, turtles, lizards, and snakes.
Klappentext zu „Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates “
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 modelsin human reproductive researchCovers the endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behaviour and anatomy of vertebrate reproductionStructured coverage of the major themes for all five vertebrate groups allows a consistent treatment for allSpecial chapters elaborate on features specific to individual vertebrate groups and to comparative aspects, similarities and differences between them

Autoren-Porträt von David Norris
Dr. David O. Norris has done research in environmental endocrinology and neuroendocrinology for more than 50 years, investigating the role of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors on thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive endocrinology in regards to development, sexual maturation, seasonal reproduction, and aging. Most of his research has involved fishes and amphibians. Dr. Norris was honored with the Robert L. Stearns Award for outstanding teaching, research and service at the University of Colorado. He is now Professor Emeritus in the Department of Integrative Physiology at Boulder Colorado.
