xii, 403 pages : illustrations; 25 cm
Summary
  • This volume represents many new research thrusts, hot areas of ecological investigation, and efforts at synthesis. The editors are leaders in their field and the contributors respected scientists.--Roy McDiarmad, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.--Published: July 2014.
  • The topics, [in this volume] represent an impressive diversity of approaches, ranging from detailed life-history studies of single species and in-depth analyses of lizard communities to broad-based comparisons of multiple traits across all groups of lizards. . . . [Lizard Ecology] not only provides a context in which to view these individual studies but opens a unique window on lizard ecology past, present, and future.-- Science; Published: September 2014.
