Lizards of Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and their Adjacent Archipelagos

A comprehensive study of the natural history and distribution of these lizards, lavishly illustrated by the author's renowned photographic skills. This book not only incorporates the scattered body of literature on Malaysian lizards from the early 1800s to present, but is infused with a large body of information from Dr. Grismer's meticulous field notes taken over the last 15 years. For several species in this book, the photographs and information presented on their natural history, behavior, and reproductive biology is all that is known. Explicit taxonomic keys accompanied by detailed descriptions of all 128 species allow for their easy identification. Additionally, a comprehensive, illustrated description of the environment of Peninsular Malaysia is overlaid with an insightful discussion of the biogeography and ecological zonation of its lizard fauna.
