About This Item
Berkeley. 2004. University Of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0520238540. 372 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Iguanas Science Nature Lizards. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In What is Certain to be the key reference on iguanas for years to come, some of the world's leading experts offer a clear and accessible account of the latest research on the evolution, behavioral ecology, and conservation of these highly visible and increasingly endangered creatures, much loved by professional herpetologists and hobbyists alike. The book begins with an introduction by noted iguana biologist Dr. Gordon Burghardt that examines the state of iguana research -- past, present, and future -- with an emphasis on social behavior. Three major sections follow, each opening with a synthesis by the volume editors surveying the current status and likely future direction of investigations in that area. The first section focuses on different aspects of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of iguanas and includes a complete checklist of species. In the second section, contributors address the behavior and ecology of iguanas and provide compelling evidence that both may be far more complex than previously appreciated. The third and final section, highlighting the threats facing iguana populations today, describes the broad array of innovative conservation strategies that will be needed to help ensure their survival.sIllustrated throughout with photographs, distribution maps, tables, and figures, this volume will be the definitive resource for anyone -- professional or curious amateur -- interested in iguanas. inventory #35046 ISBN: 0520238540.
