| | Herpetology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Herpetology deals with what are called the cold-blooded tetrapods, that is, those land vertebrates which are ectothermic (deriving their body temperature from their environment) rather than endothermic (deriving their body heat from an independent, internal source). | | | This distinction applies to most (though not quite all) living tetrapods, but may break down somewhat in regard to extinct reptilian creatures such as dinosaurs, about whose body metabolism we know frustratingly little and the sea turtles which seem to have some degree of endothermy owing to their large size. | | | Typically, amphibians have a permeable skin that assists in the exchange of gases and respiration, have a two-chambered heart like fish, and are often bound to water for at least some part of their life, if only the laying of eggs or birth of young. |

| | That is an admirable choice, but you should have a strong desire to study reptiles and amphibians for the road to a career in herpetology is not an easy one -- but it is an interesting one. | | | A medical research with training in hematology might, if interested in herpetology, study blood of reptiles and amphibians. | | | Its goal is to improve reptilian and amphibian veterinary care and husbandry through education, exchange of ideas and research. |

| | Unfortunately, there are not many jobs directly related to herpetology, and even a well-trained individual may find it necessary to accept a position removed from his or her prime area of interest. | | | Many people do not have jobs directly related to herpetology but are still able to keep herpetology as part of their career focus. | | | The competition for jobs in herpetology is very intense, so post-graduate studies can be critical to your career. |

| | It is a good choice for a herpetology course for undergraduates--in fact I plan to use it for such a course in summer 1999. | | | In this revised edition of Herpetology, the authors provide the only treatment of amphibians and reptiles that integrates information about evolutionary relationships with ecology, behavior, and physiology and provide up-to-date references to the primary literature. | | | KEY TOPICS The book is broken down into four parts and explores these specific questions: what are amphibians and reptiles; how do they work; what do they do; and what are their prospects for survival. |

| | Herpetology at the University of Texas at Austin |
| | Herpetology has a greater depth than ecology, which has a greater taxonomic breadth. | | | Our course stresses concepts, and covers a wide range of topics, ranging from molecular to cytological to physiological to behavioral to ecological, all illustrated using herpetological examples. | | | This reflects our department's strong bias toward conceptual rather than taxonomic specialties, and this bias influences the structure of the herpetology course we offer at the University of Texas. |
