Descripción:
xiv, 210 pages.The authors of this authoritative book about the herpetofauna of the Honduran Bay Islands have produced much more than a simple guide. They not only illustrate and describe the 55 species of amphibians and reptiles, the provide user-friendly keys and detailed descriptions of the islands and their rapidly changing habitats. In addition, they present a thoughtful analysis of the forces, few of them positive, that affect the conservation status of the islands' unique populations of amphibians and reptiles, many of which are endemic.—Robert Powell.
