Reptiles of Ecuador

Quito 2024, kt., 1088 Seiten, 1430 Farbabb., 536 Karten, 20 sw.- Abb. The level of focused effort and passion behind producing this book’s photographs is remarkable. The authors spent 14 years traveling the country with the sole purpose of creating new photographs of every single reptile species, depicting their variations in what has become their signature style of scientific white background photography. As a result of their incredible field campaign, the authors photographed around 500 species, including at least 20 species that had never been documented before on camera. Needless to say, this book will make a tremendous contribution to bringing the reptilian fauna of Ecuador closer to the spotlight it so greatly needs. Congratulations to all involved for this great new contribution to one of the most iconic reptile communities on our planet in one of the world’s most important countries for biodiversity. – Russell A Mittermeier
