| Summary, etc. |
"This book provides concise, reliable, and up-to-date information on all 118 species currently recognized from Egypt, with detailed review of their taxonomy, identification, natural history, ecology, and conservation. This volume is based on the author's twenty-year experience with the reptile and amphibian fauna of Egypt and the Middle East, which includes extensive fieldwork and research. In total, the current work adds almost 20 percent to the previously reported fauna from Egypt, and presents many taxonomic innovations that are reported and elaborated here for the first time." "Each species entry contains concise information, including synonymy, tanxonomic notes, world and Egypt distributions, distinguishing features, habitat, ecology and conservation status. Over 130 high-quality color photographs and line drawings illustrate all the species dealt with. With easy-to-use keys, accurate distribution maps, diagnostic illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is a valuable tool in the identification, study, and conservation of the animals."--Jacket |
