Covers the major aspects of phylogeny and reproductive biology of frogs. Topics include: anuran phylogeny, classification and reproductive modes; gross anatomy of the reproductive system; oogenesis; endocrinology of reproduction; spermatogenesis and the mature spermatozoon; breeding glands; internal fertilization and sperm storage; parental care; general development; and molecular development.
