Synopsis
Discover the timing and patterns of reptile reproduction across lizards and snakes, from field observations to museum records.
This comprehensive study surveys how reptiles pair, lay eggs, or bear live young, and how these choices shape when and how often offspring are produced. Drawing on field work, preserved specimens, and a wide body of published research, it maps reproductive cycles across many species and climates, highlighting both common trends and surprising differences. The book explains the key questions researchers ask about viviparity and oviparity, seasonal timing, brood size, and development, using concrete examples to illustrate the diversity of reptile life histories.
- How reproductive cycles are studied in the wild and in museums, and what data researchers collect.
- Whether species are viviparous or oviparous, and how development timing influences mating and birth.
- Patterns in timing and frequency of copulation, ovulation, laying, and hatching across climates.
- Variations in brood size, incubation or gestation periods, and time to sexual maturity.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the reproductive cycles of lizards and snakes. The author, drawing on decades of personal field research, museum specimen analysis, and a deep dive into scientific literature, delves into the intricacies of these creatures' breeding habits. While previous research has often focused on taxonomic classifications or descriptions of individual species, this book takes a unique approach by examining the evolutionary and ecological pressures that shape the diverse reproductive strategies of reptiles. The author investigates the factors that influence the size of broods, the timing of breeding seasons, and the prevalence of viviparity (live birth) versus oviparity (egg-laying). The book reveals the remarkable diversity of reproductive cycles, not only between different species but also within the same species depending on geographic location and environmental factors. It provides a rich understanding of the complexity of reptile reproduction and its significance in the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334748394_0
