This book deals with reproduction of Amphibians belonging to three extant orders:
Caecilians, Salamanders, Frogs and Toads. Separate chapters have been written for males …

The general anatomical characteristics of Gymnophiona have been covered by several
authors (Sarasin and Sarasin 1887-1890; Taylor 1968; Delsol et al. 1980; Wake 1986; …

Endocrine organs of Gymnophiona have received little attention. Some works have been
devoted to endocrine organs as interrenal glands (Rathke 1852; Semon 1892; Brauer 1902; …

Caecilians are a unique group of limbless burrowing amphibians with discontinuous
distribution. Several caecilian species are viviparous, and all practice internal fertilization. In …

Caecilians are exceptional among the vertebrates in that males retain the Mullerian duct as
a functional glandular structure. The Mullerian gland on each side is formed from a large …

The caecilians are a unique group of vertebrates in that the Mullerian duct is retained in the
adult males as a functional glandular tructure, and this feature was first reported by Spengel …

Caecilians are an order of amphibians with distribution confined to several of the tropical
countries. They are subterranean animals and practice a form of internal fertilization. Several …

We investigated the structure of the male reproductive system in Ichthyophis supachaii. The
testis comprises a series of mulberry‐like lobes, each of which contains testis lobules …

Whereas in all other vertebrates the Müllerian ducts of genetic males are aborted during
development, under the influence of Müllerian-inhibiting substance, in the caecilian …

The anatomy of male reproductive system in Gymnophiona has been described in the
following species: Typhlonectes compressicauda (Exbrayat and Sentis, 1982; Exbrayat and …
