Physiology and Reproduction of Reptiles and Amphibians

Reptiles historically have carried the stigma of being unintelligent, uncharismatic, and easy to care for, with minimal husbandry needs. Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic vertebrate animals with a wide distribution on the planet. Reptiles and amphibians have always been of great importance to society, so it is our responsibility to conserve them today and to ensure that these biological groups continue to exist in the future. This book presents the current trends in herpetology, focusing on evolution, conservation, ecology, genetics, morphology, physiology, and taxonomy. Currently, both amphibians and reptiles face serious threats that place them at risk of disappearing. With emphasis on behavior, biochemistry, conservation, ecology, evolution, morphology, physiology, and systematics, this book will help to equip students and researchers on the current problems that arise in this interesting biological group.
