7 New Amphibian Books Shaping 2025 Discoveries

During their extensive work in vertebrate endocrinology, David O. Norris PhD and Kristin H. Lopez PhD developed a detailed exploration of amphibian reproductive biology. This volume dissects the complex interplay of pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal hormones influencing amphibian reproduction, enriched with insights into neuroendocrinology, physiology, and behavior. You’ll find focused chapters on anurans, urodeles, and gymnophionids that clarify species-specific hormonal roles, while the addition of environmental disruption effects brings a timely perspective. If you aim to deepen your understanding of amphibian hormonal regulation and reproductive adaptations, this book offers a thorough, scientifically grounded resource tailored for researchers and advanced students.

After analyzing extensive care challenges in herpetology, Elijah Flynn developed a detailed guide addressing the complex needs of reptile and amphibian pets.
