This is the first volume to integrate information on ways in which the nervous and endocrine systems interact to mediate crucial aspects of reptile behavior. Although the authors pay particular attention to reproductive behavior, from initial recognition and evaluation of potential partners to decisions about reproduction, they also deal with other survival behaviors.

Great for herpetologists,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hormones, Brain, and Behavior (Biology of the Reptilia Series) (Paperback)
This book is extremely in-depth when reviewing hormones, brain, and behavior in reptiles. It is a bit out-of-date because new research has improved our understanding of some of these topics, but it is still a staple if you are studying herpetology.
