Reseña

We present the book “Reptiles of Ecuador,” a comprehensive monographic catalogue about every single one of Ecuador’s 493 non-avian reptiles. This updated field guide is designed to be used primarily as a tool to identify species in the field and is written so that it can be easily understood by any reader. It includes photographs, illustrations, and distribution maps covering all reptiles in the country. It also summarizes novel as well as historical information about each species and presents it in the form of individual accounts. Each account includes the following sections: names, recognition, natural history, distribution, conservation, etymology, see it in the wild, and references.
