A 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. It discusses each method, provides protocols for its implementation, and suggests ways to analyze the data.
"Authoritative and comprehensive-provides an up-to-date description of the tool box of methods for inventorying and monitoring the diverse spectrum of reptiles. All biodiversity scientists will want to have it during project planning and as study progresses. A must for field biologists, conservation planners, and biodiversity managers."-Jay M. Savage, San Diego State University
"Kudos to the editors and contributors to this book. From the perspective of a non-ecologist such as myself, who only occasionally needs to intensively sample a particular site or habitat, the quality and clarity of this book has been well worth the wait."-Jack W. Sites, Jr.
"Authoritative and informative. . . . A concise, thoughtful accumulation of field protocols and marking techniques."
