About This Book
A detailed regional survey compiles field collections, museum specimens, and published records to document the amphibian and reptile fauna of Michoacán. Annotated species accounts provide diagnostic features, measurements, color variation, habitat and elevational ranges, distributional notes, and taxonomic commentary, supported by plates and figures. Complementary chapters present historical background, descriptions of landscape and biogeography, a gazetteer of localities, an evaluation of doubtful occurrences, a synthesis of distributional patterns, and a bibliography of cited literature.
