Stock ID 19832 Iguanas: biology and conservation. Allison C. Alberts.

Berkeley: University of California Press, 2004. Large octavo, dustwrapper, black and white photographs, text illustrations, maps.

WAS $115. The book begins with an introduction by noted iguana biologist Dr. Gordon Burghardt that examines the state of iguana research - past, present, and future - with an emphasis on social behaviour. Three major sections follow, each opening with a synthesis by the volume editors, who survey the current status and likely future direction of investigations in the pertinent area. The first section focuses on different aspects of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of iguanas and includes a complete checklist of species. In the second section, contributors address the behaviour and ecology of iguanas and provide compelling evidence that both may be far more complex than previously appreciated. The third and final section, highlighting the threats facing iguana populations today, describes the broad array of innovative conservation strategies that will be needed to help ensure their survival. Illustrated throughout with photographs, distribution maps, tables, and figures, this volume will be the definitive resource for anyone--professional or curious amateur--interested in iguanas.
