Parental Behavior in Lepidosaurian and Testudinian Reptiles: A Literature Survey
Defining "parental behavior" as behavioral contributions to the survival of neonatal offspring, Somma (U. of Florida) surveys such relationships among two taxa not ordinarily viewed as being model parents: lepidosaurians (e.g. lizards, snakes) and testudinians (turtles). This book extends his 1990 bibliography in a herpetology journal, and is relevant to current ideas on dinosaur behavior. Includes summary tables. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
