Defining "parental behavior" as behavioral contributions to the survival of neonatal offspring, Somma (U. of Florida) surveys such relationships among two taxa not ordinarily viewed as being model parents: lepidosaurians (e.g. lizards, snakes) and testudinians (turtles). This book extends his 1990 bibliography in a herpetology journal, and is relevant to current ideas on dinosaur behavior. Includes summary tables. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
