Reproduction of Amphibians
This book deals with the reproduction of amphibians belonging to three extant orders: Caecilians, Salamanders, Frogs, and Toads. Separate chapters have been written for males and females, describing gonad structure and development, gametogenesis, urogenital connections, and reproductive tracts. The authors provide a synthesis of literature data alongside results from their own studies.
The text is illustrated with original schemes and photographs, focusing on anatomy, histology, cytology, and the molecular mechanisms regulating gametogenesis and reproductive cycles. The first chapter is devoted to the origin of somatic and germ cells during the formation of undifferentiated gonads.
The last chapter deals with embryonic and postembryonic development, direct development, neoteny, and modifications of gametogenesis and meiosis in hybrids and polyploids (hybridogenesis and gynogenesis). Reproduction of Amphibians will interest all reproductive biologists and biologists working on amphibians.
