Book Synopsis Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity (Annotated) by : Bader Coxwell And Johnson
Download or read book Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity (Annotated) written by Bader Coxwell And Johnson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the number of people interested in keeping amphibians and reptiles in captivity has grown rapidly. All too often, these same people have little knowledge of the proper care needed for their captives, nor do they know where to turn in order to learn the needs of their animals.Pet stores generally do not have the expertise to give out proper information on the identification and care of amphibians or reptiles. The booklets they sell on the subject are too general and too vague.It is the intent of the authors of this special issue to offer the proper information needed to successfully keep amphibians and reptiles in captivity. We are by no means THE experts on the subject, nor do we claim to cover all the facts. However, we do hope that enough information is furnished to answer most of the common questions asked by people.The bibliography has a list of books which go into more detail on amphibians and reptiles: their identification, and natural history, range, and care in captivity. Room did not permit the inclusion of amphibian diseases-thus, the bibliography will be of help there.Due to the decline in the majority of crocodilians in the world, the authors do not condone their being kept in captivity by amateur herpetologists. We also contend that venomous reptiles, as well, do not belong in a private collection.

Download or read book Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity written by Donald J. Coxwell and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity' stands at the confluence of scientific curiosity and ecological responsibility, offering an unparalleled exploration into the management, conservation, and ethical considerations surrounding herpetofauna in human care. This collection spans a range of literary styles from empirical studies, personal narratives, to comprehensive reviews, reflecting the multifaceted nature of herpetology as a discipline. It stands out for its inclusion of seminal works on the husbandry of rare species, and innovative research methodologies, without ascribing the spotlight to any single contribution, thereby emphasizing the collaborative effort of the field. The contributing authors, Donald J. Coxwell, Tom R. Johnson, and Robert N. Bader, bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience, rooted in distinct but complementary backgrounds. Coxwells ecological insights, Johnsons expertise in herpetological husbandry, and Baders contributions to conservation efforts underscore the anthologys alignment with contemporary environmental and ethical concernsa confluence that enriches the reader's understanding of the complexities involved in the care of amphibians and reptiles. Their collective work not only mirrors the evolving dialogue in conservation science but also pays homage to the global biodiversity that herpetology seeks to preserve. This anthology is an essential read for herpetologists, conservationists, and the scientifically curious alike. It presents a unique opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of amphibian and reptile care, offering a comprehensive look at the challenges and successes encountered in captivity. The collection advocates for a deeper understanding and respect for these often misunderstood creatures, providing educational value, and fostering a dialogue between conservation ethics and practical care. Readers will leave with a heightened appreciation for the diversity of life and the roles humans play in its preservation.

Book Synopsis Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles by : Clifford Warwick
Download or read book Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles written by Clifford Warwick and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively revised and expanded new edition offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this book thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs. The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: • sensory systems • social behaviour • brain and cognition • controlled deprivation and enrichment • effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare • spatial and thermal factors• evidential thresholds for species suitability in captivity • record keeping as an aid to captive care • arbitrary husbandry practices and misconceptions The authors have adopted a user-friendly writing style to accommodate a broad readership. Although primarily aimed at academic professionals, this comprehensive volume is fundamentally a biology book that will also inform all involved in captive reptile husbandry. Among others, zoo personnel, herpetologists, veterinarians, lab animal scientists, and expert readers in animal welfare and behavioural studies will benefit from this updated work.
Book Synopsis Alien Reptiles and Amphibians by : Fred Kraus
Download or read book Alien Reptiles and Amphibians written by Fred Kraus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-19 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation of species to areas outside their native ranges has been a feature of human culture for millennia. During this time such activities have largely been viewed as beneficial or inconsequential. However, it has become increasingly clear that human-caused introductions of alien biota are an ecological disruption whose consequences rival those of better-known insults like chemical pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Indeed, the irreversible nature of most alien-species int- ductions makes them less prone to correction than many other ecological problems. Current reshuffling of species ranges is so great that the present era has been referred to by some as the “Homogocene” in an effort to reflect the unique mag- tude of the changes being made. These alien interlopers often cause considerable ecological and economic d- age where introduced. Species extinctions, food-web disruptions, community alte- tions, ecosystem conversion, changes in nutrient cycling, fisheries collapse, watershed degradation, agricultural loss, building damage, and disease epidemics are among the destructive – and frequently unpredictable – ecological and economic effects that invasive alien species can inflict. The magnitude of these damages c- tinues to grow, with virtually all environments heavily used by humans now do- nated by alien species and many “natural” areas becoming increasingly prone to alien invasion as well. Attention to this problem has increased in the past decade or so, and efforts to prevent or limit further harm are gaining wider scientific and political acceptance.

Book Synopsis Diseases of Amphibians and Reptiles by : Gerald Hoff
Download or read book Diseases of Amphibians and Reptiles written by Gerald Hoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While diseases of free-ranging and captive mammalian and avian wildlife species have received considerable interest in the past 25 years, those of amphibians and reptiles (collectively, the herptiles) generally have been assigned lesser importance. The literature concern ing disease in herptiles is widely scattered, consisting chiefly of case reports and prevalence surveys, and with heavy emphasis on captive reptiles. The dynamics of the host-agent-environment relationship have been studied for only a few diseases. This diverse data base is primarily a function of the paucity of investigators whose chief interest is in diseases of herptiles. This first edition represents an effort to bring together some of the diffuse knowledge on infectious and non-infectious diseases of free-ranging and captive herp tiles. Issue may be taken with the choice of topics; how ever, predominant diseases, as well as some diseases of lesser prominence, are presented. The editors were forced to accept certain omissions, particularly with amphibian diseases, simply for lack of contributors. The resulting text, however, we hope will be of value to veterinarians, herpetolo,gists, wildlife disease investigators, wildlife managers, zoo curators, and university students. G.L. Hoff F.L.
