Herpetology, a branch of zoology that deals with the study of amphibians and reptile provide significant insight of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. From: Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands , 2008

The fourth edition of the textbook Herpetology covers the basic biology of amphibians and reptiles, with updates in nearly every conceptual area. Not only does it serve as a solid foundation for modern herpetology courses, but it is also relevant to courses in ecology, behavior, evolution, systematics, and morphology.

This third edition, now fully revised and updated by two of Dr. Zug's colleagues, provides herpetology students and amateur reptile and amphibian keepers with the latest taxonomy and species developments from around the world. Herpetology is a rapidly evolving field, which has contributed to new discoveries in many conceptual areas of biology.

Herpetology has always been one of the most exciting disciplines of zoology. During the past few years the field has continued to grow, yet it has been plagued by scarcity of comprehensive, up-to-date textbooks containing the most important developments. This timely book fills that void.

May 1, 2023 · The identification of conservation priorities on which governments should implement cost-effective strategies, such as the creation of protected areas, is mostly linked to high levels of endemic taxonomic diversity, presence of highly endangered or rare species, or critical habitats (Brooks et al., 2006; Gauthier et al., 2010; Rosso et al., 2018).

The formal taxonomy of Cuban herpetology starts with the description of Typhlops lumbricalis by Linnaeus in 1758. The first major contribution to Cuban herpetology was in Ramon de la Sagra's Historia Fisica, Politica, y Natural de la Isla de Cuba, which was published over a period of 15 years from 1838 to1853. The herpetological section was ...
