This edited volume is a timely and comprehensive summary of the New
Zealand lizard fauna. Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New
Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures
of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island
influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to
be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal
diversity present within the archipelago is only just starting to
be appreciated. This is no better exemplified than in lizards,
where just 30 species (20 skinks, 10 geckos) were recognized in the
1950s, but now 104 are formally or informally recognized (61
skinks, 43 geckos). Thus, New Zealand contains one of the most
diverse lizard faunas of any cool, temperate region on Earth. This
book brings together the world's leading experts in the field to
produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy,
biogeography, ecology, life-history, physiology and conservation of
New Zealand lizards.
