The Pacific is not only the world's largest body of water; its vast
expanse also includes an extraordinary number and diversity of
oceanic islands, from Palau and the Marianas east of the
Philippines to Cocos Island and the Galapagos west of the Americas.
The isolation of these islands and the extreme distances between
them long prevented scientists from studying their floras and
faunas in a comparative context. But now George R. Zug, one of the
world's foremost experts on the diverse reptiles and amphibians of
the Pacific Basin, offers the first such systematic overview in
more than half a century. Reptiles and Amphibians of the Pacific
Islands is a compendium of frogs, lizards, snakes, and turtles
living on these lands and in the adjacent waters of the oceanic
islands in the tropical Pacific. The means to identify each species
is included, along with entries that describe each animal's form,
coloration, habitat, distribution, reproductive biology, and
natural history. Color plates of more than 75 percent of the
species also help to facilitate visual identification. This
accessible and informative guide is the most comprehensive field
guide available and will appeal to both novice sightseers and
professional naturalists.
