It reviews contemporary research with special accounts of oogenesis, the evelopment of the integuments, the immune system, and the pituitary.
The contributors to this volume, a distinguished international group of experts, summarize the state of our knowledge of reptilian developmental patterns, laying the groundwork for future research and providing a guide to the requisite ecological and behavioral literature.
