Atlas of Reptile Development

By Raul Diaz and Jacqueline E Moustakas-Verho

This is an atlas of development for several reptiles: a turtle (Trachemys scripta), a specialized lizard (Chamaeleo calyptratus ), a generalized terrestrial lizard (Aspidoscelis uniparens ), a snake (Boaedon (Lamprophis) fuliginosus ), and a crocodilian (Alligator mississippiensis ). With the rise of evo-devo and genomics, the use of reptiles as study organisms has increased. An atlas describing the embryonic development of different species of reptiles is a valuable resource to scientists and students studying developmental biology, herpetology, ecology, evolutionary biology, anatomy, evolutionary morphology, physiology, endocrinology, neurobiology, paleontology, and mathematical modeling.

Key selling features:

Covers several reptilian species that represent different body plans.Illustrations will be whole-mount specimens documenting development.Additional illustrations include plates of histological sections.Includes an an introductory chapter that covers the history of studies of reptilian developmentA valuable resource to anyone studying anatomy, embryology, and comparative morphology
