The Malagasy region contains one of the most extraordinary
concentrations of biodiversity in the world. Its recognition as a
zoogeographic region in its own right has recently been confirmed
and, all taxa combined, the region was found to hold the second
most distinct assemblage of vertebrates in the world after the
Australian region, despite being the smallest of them all. This new
field guide in the Helm Field Guides series covers the whole of the
Malagasy region, which comprises the unique island of Madagascar
and the various islands and archipelagos of the Indian Ocean
including the Seychelles, Comoros and Mascarenes (Mauritius,
Reunion and Rodrigues). Every resident and migrant species is
covered in full detail with a colour distibution map for each
species. Vagrants are also treated in detail, but without maps. All
species are illustrated on a beautiful series of 124 colour plates,
with artwork from John Gale and Brian Small. Conveniently, the
plates have been arranged so that all the key species of the
various archipelagos are placed together in sections. This is a
major work of reference on the birds of the region and will remain
the standard text for many years to come.
