Zustand: New. 608, 900 col photos. . HB. NEW. . This book covers the reptiles of the Lesser Antillean archipelago, from Sombrero in the north down to the Grenada bank in the south. The book is divided into five sections: 1) Introduction, 2) Taxa, 3) Island Banks, 4) Biogeography and 5) Conservation. The taxa are considered in an arbitrary sequence: anoles, iguanas, curlytails, skinks, teiids, microteiids, dwarf geckos, larger geckos, anguids and amphisbaenids, blindsnakes and threadsnakes, boas, pit vipers, colubrids, chelonids and crocodilians. Widespread species are described in this section rather than repeatedly in the Island Banks section. In the latter section each of the island banks are considered from north to south (Sombrero, Anguilla Bank, Saba, St. Kitts Bank, Antigua Bank, Redonda, Montserrat, Guadeloupe Bank, Marie-Galante, Les Saintes, Dominica, Martinique Bank, St. Lucia Bank, Barbados, St. Vincent Bank, Grenada BankGrenadines, Grenada BankGrenada). The Grenadines and Grenada plus satellites are treated in separate chapters. The taxa in this section are dealt with in the same order as the Taxa section, and, where appropriate, the sometimes considerable variation that occurs within an island species is illustrated and explained. The intention is that the chapter on each island bank could act as a field guide, with identification aided by the numerous images. Each island bank chapter can be used independently and includes images of every native and introduced species found on each bank. For native species/radiations, an attempt has been made to allocate the source of colonization as either the Greater Antilles or the main-land. Our understanding of Lesser Antillean reptiles and their conservation is rapidly changing. Ongoing conservation threats like hybridization (e.g., iguanas) and recent invasive species (e.g., Anolis/Ctenonotus cristatellus in Dominica) can rapidly change the situation. Molecular phylogeny and major taxonomic revisions, such as the revision of skinks (Hedges & Conn 2012), dramatically change our understanding of the relationships, biogeography and nomenclature.

This book is intended primarily as a filed guide to the one hundred or so species of reptiles and amphibians that occur on the islands of the Eastern Caribbean, from Anguilla and Sombrero in the north to Grendada in the south.It is hoped that Reptiles & Amphibians of the Eastern Carribbean will provide an introduction to the biology of these animals for the non-specialist. This book will also be of interest to both amateur an professional herpetologists as it provides a synthesis of the latest scientific finding, including over a decade of research into the evolutionary ecology of reptiles in these islands by the authors themselves.
