Informationen zum Autor Dr. David O. Norris has done research in environmental endocrinology and neuroendocrinology for more than 50 years! investigating the role of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors on thyroid! adrenal! and reproductive endocrinology in regards to development! sexual maturation! seasonal reproduction! and aging. Most of his research has involved fishes and amphibians. Dr. Norris was honored with the Robert L. Stearns Award for outstanding teaching! research and service at the University of Colorado. He is now Professor Emeritus in the Department of Integrative Physiology at Boulder Colorado. Kristin H. Lopez teaches human reproductive biology through the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado-Boulder. With a background in comparative reproduction and endocrinology! she is an editor of the fi ve-volume work Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates (Academic Press! 2011). Her ongoing work with Colorado Diversity Initiative promotes increased access to higher education of underrepresented students in STEM. Klappentext The five-volume work Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates provides comprehensive coverage of reproduction in every major vertebrate group with an emphasis on new information accumulated at an alarming rate over the past 20 years. The five volumes have been designed to provide a readable! coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each chapter and each volume stands alone as a review of a particular topic or vertebrate group! respectively! the volumes provide a thorough topical treatment across the vertebrates. Topics in each volume include sex determination! neuroendocrine regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis! separate discussions of testicular and ovarian functions and control! stress and reproductive function! hormones and reproductive behaviors! and comparisons of reproductive patterns. Emphasis on the use of model species is balanced throughout the volumes with comparative treatments of reproductive cycles in major taxa. Inhaltsverzeichnis Vol 1.
