- W1996996619 abstract "The Gymnophiona are the least well known amphibian order, an unfortunate situation because these animals can clarify many aspects of amphibian natural history, vertebrate evolution, and the physiology of viviparity and fossorial life. Our aims are to assemble a number of topics about the current knowledge of Caecilian physiology and morphology, and to integrate our own observations on the morpho-physiology of a Brazilian species (Siphonops annulatus). We start with a brief discussion of the evolution of the group and some general aspects of its ecology and behavior. Then we cover the external anatomy, emphasizing morpho-physiological aspects of skeleton, skull, teeth and integument. Then we cover ventilation and gas exchange, blood and circulation, and some aspects of water exchange and sensory organs, stress the fascinating aspects of physiology and morphology associated with viviparity, and finish with a brief discussion about Caecilian energetics. We hope that this review will extend the interest in the group and become both a helpful reference and a source of insight for scientists in search of new questions." @default.
