ISBN: 9788883021046 I Lacertidi Italiani (1 items)

Palermo: L'Epos Societa Editrice, 1999. Paperback. New. The lizard fauna of Italy is dominated by lacertids and it is impossible to overlook these agile, beautifully patterned and coulored creatures. Due to their taxonomic and ecological diversity, lacertid lizards also represent an important part within the network of ecosystems, thus being a major constituent of Mediterranean biodiversity. However, our knowledge on the biology, ecology and ethology of lacertids is still imcomplete, and even the taxonomy and phylogeny of various groups are not yet resolved. It is therefore meritorious that the current knowledge on Italy's lacertid lizards has been summarized in this book -- Wolfgang Boehme
