Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Lizards and Tuatara: Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny
Editat de Justin L. Rheubert, Dustin S. Siegel, Stanley E. Trauthen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 dec 2014
Following these chapters are detailed reviews with additional new data concerning chemical communication, sexual selection, reproductive cues, female reproductive anatomy, female reproductive cycles, oogenesis, parthenogenesis, male reproductive anatomy, male reproductive cycles, spermatogenesis, reproductive investment, viviparity and placentation, multiple paternity, and parental care.
The book culminates in two chapters on tuatara reproduction giving unique insight into evolutionary patterns in reproductive biology in squamates and tuatara. This is an essential resource for anyone studying reproduction in reptiles and/or vertebrates and offers a fascinating read for those interested in reproductive biology.

Cues for reproduction in squamate reptiles. Female reproductive anatomy: cloaca, oviduct, and sperm storage. Female reproductive cycles. Oogenesis. Discovery of parthenogenesis in lizards. Male reproductive anatomy: the gonads, gonadoducts, sexual segment of the kidney, and cloaca. Male reproductive cycles. The architecture of the testis, spermatogenesis, and mature spermatozoa. Evolutionary ecology of reproductive investment in lizards. Viviparity and placentation in lizards. The complexity of understanding patterns of multiple paternity in lizards.
