A Distributional Study of the Amphibians of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, México cover

A Distributional Study of the Amphibians of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, México

An exhaustive survey documents amphibian species across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, with emphasis on lowland communities sampled by field work and museum records. The author compiles a gazetteer, describes physiography, climate, and vegetation, and presents systematic accounts for the 36 species confirmed in the lowlands. Ecological observations address habitat preferences, seasonal patterns, and gaps in life-history knowledge. Distributional patterns are analyzed regionally and interpreted in light of Pleistocene climatic fluctuations. The report concludes with species-by-species notes, maps, and references to guide further research and clarify taxonomic questions.
