| "Somma has done a phenomenal job of sifting an enormous literature, done so with a critical eye, and has produced a summary that will be immensely useful to everyone interested in the evolution of vertebrate life histories." -- Harry W. Greene, Professor and Curator, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University
"This high-quality hardbound reference book is an in-depth survey of documented parental care of
offspring in tuataras, turtles, worm lizards, lizards, and snakes--reptile groups in which the display of such behavior is considered relatively unusual." -- Steven Winchell, Reptilia, Number 30, October 2003
"If you are involved in any form of research into reptile behaviour or wish to know where to find detailed information about a particular species, then this book could well prove invaluable." -- Dave Arnold, The Herptile, 29:1, March 2004 |
