Despite their diversity, amphibians and reptiles share many
physiological traits, such as their dependence on external heat
sources for body temperature regulation, that are of pivotal
importance to their ability to cope with the environment.
Considerable variation in physiological capabilities exists in
these groups and often can be related to seasonal and geographic
differences in environmental parameters. This book provides a
comprehensive and integrative view of the interplay between
physiology and behavior in amphibians and reptiles, leading to a
better understanding of the subject. The book covers topics that
have recently been in the spotlight for scientific research on the
physiology, behavior, and conservation of amphibians and reptiles.
It brings together recent information from a range of disciplines
that address critical topics for understanding their biology. As
these studies are scattered across articles in specialized
journals, this book provides a single and expanded source
summarizing such advancements. Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to
the Environment: Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior
maintains a solid scientific basis for the biological topics
covered. However, it presents the material in a clear and direct
manner so that it is accessible even to non-biologists interested
in the basic biology, behavior, and ecology of these animals as
well as how these elements are connected to their conservation.
