| Abstract |
|
This book is the first systematic review of all aspects of incubation cross all types of reptiles. The depth of the analysis in each chapter will mean that it quickly be a standard reference text. Contributors are world leaders in their respective fields and were chosen for their ability to present a comprehensive and broad overview of the topics in question. This scientific review is long overdue and will prove useful to researchers around the world as well as being a valuable reference source for conservationists and other reptile breeders. 1 – Reptilian Incubation: Principles and Evolution Charles Deeming & David Unwin Hatchery Consulting & Research, Lincoln, UK & Humbolt Museum of Natural History, Berlin 2 – Nest construction and environment Ralph Ackerman Iowa State University, Ames, USA 3 – Egg morphology and composition Mike Thompson & Brian Speake University of Sydney, Australia & Scottish Agriculture, Ayr, Scotland 4 – Embryonic development Robin Andrews Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA 5 – Incubation behaviour Rick Shine University of Sydney, Australia 6 – Effects of Incubation Temperature Geoff Birchard George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA 7 – Energy and water budgets of reptile eggs and embryos Amos Ar, Ralph Ackerman, Ann Belinsky & Razi D’miel Tel Aviv University, Israel & Iowa State University, Ames, USA 8 – Environmental Sex Determination Nicole Valenzuela Iowa State University, Ames, USA 9 – Phenotypic effects of incubation environment Charles Deeming Hatchery Consulting & Research, Lincoln, UK 10 – Practical Artificial Incubation David Booth University of Queensland, Australia 11 – Conclusions Charles Deeming Hatchery Consulting & Research, Lincoln, UK
