Neuroendocrine Processing of Environmental Information in Amphibians

  • Conference paper
Processing of Environmental Information in Vertebrates

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

To survive and reproduce, animals must process environmental information, then respond appropriately. Some responses are rapid, such as predator avoidance; others are long-term, such as seasonal cycles in reproduction. Many such responses have been studied in amphibians, more than can be reviewed here. Primitive amphibians, as ancestors to reptiles, birds, and mammals, were the first vertebrates to live on land. Given their evolutionary position, an understanding of how amphibians process environmental information can provide insights into basic neuroendocrine mechanisms of other vertebrates. The present chapter focuses on the neuroendocrine controllers of reproduction that are associated with long-term annual reproductive cycles and with short-term changes in reproductive behaviors. The chapter does not review the neurophysiological studies pertaining to how amphibians locate and discriminate auditory and visual stimuli (for reviews of these topics, see Ewert et al. 1983, Ingle and Crews 1985).
