Reptile Biodiversity: Standard Methods For Inventory And Monitoring Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
From tiny, burrowing lizards to rainforest canopy-dwellers and giant crocodiles, reptile populations everywhere are changing. Yet government and conservation groups are often forced to make important decisions about reptile conservation and management based on inadequate or incomplete data. With contributions from nearly seventy specialists, this volume offers a comprehensive guide to the best methods for carrying out standardized quantitative and qualitative surveys of reptiles, while maximizing comparability of data between sites, across habitats and taxa, and over time. The contributors discuss each method, provide detailed protocols for its implementation, and suggest ways to analyze the data, making this volume an essential resource for monitoring and inventorying reptile abundance, population status, and biodiversity.Reptile Biodiversity covers topics including:• terrestrial, marine, and aquatic reptiles• equipment recommendations and limitations• ethics of monitoring and inventory activities• statistical procedures• designing sampling programs• using PDAs in the field

I am teaching a undergraduate/graduate herpetology class in the Spring. I also have a few graduate students who will be designing a thesis involving lizards and snakes. I ordered this thinking it would be good for reference on these projects. This book was well beyond my expectations. There are a lot of chapters that I will use for my herpetology labs. The book is well organised and can be read cover to cover or chapters can be used independently. I highly recommend this book.
Great book with descriptions, pictures, and written articles. Herpetologist enjoying the resource book for his library. Would purchase from this buyer again.
