内容説明
A unified treatment of vertebrate reproductive physiology and sexual interactions in the context of environmental responses is presented in this reference text. The author stresses the ecology and evolution of wild species, integrating biochemical and genetic mechanisms with behavioral and environmental influences. Among the topics discussed are sex determination, growth and development, parental care, fecundity and seasonality. The results of many experimental studies and observations made in the wild are also included. In addition to having a large number of citations (over 1400), this book explains ecology and evolution in terms of known physiological processes.
