Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 2 2nd Edition

Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 2, 2nd Edition by David O. Norris and Kristin H. Lopez is an authoritative, up-to-date reference that immediately captures the attention of researchers, instructors, and advanced students exploring endocrine control of reproduction across vertebrate life.

This edition delivers a richly detailed, comparative perspective on reproductive endocrinology — from molecular signaling and neuroendocrine pathways to physiological outcomes in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Clear chapter organization, evidence-based summaries, and concise cross-species comparisons make complex mechanisms accessible while retaining scientific rigor. Expect in-depth discussions of hormonal regulation, seasonal breeding, developmental programming, and the influence of environmental stressors on reproductive systems.

Ideal for graduate courses, laboratory investigators, wildlife biologists, and veterinarians, this volume bridges basic science and applied practice. Its global relevance is evident in case studies and examples drawn from diverse ecosystems — coastal fisheries, tropical rainforests, temperate wetlands — making the content valuable for researchers and conservationists in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and beyond.

With practical implications for conservation, aquaculture, and clinical research, this book equips professionals to interpret hormonal data, design experiments, and apply comparative insights to real-world reproductive challenges. Scholarly yet readable, it’s an essential addition to departmental libraries and personal collections.
