Lizards of the World
Our planet is literally crawling with lizards. In this monumental work, eminent researcher Gordon Rodda has created the first compilation of the natural histories of all the world's lizards and amphisbaenians, as well as the Tuatara. More than 6500 species are known to science, and new species are being discovered annually.
Identifying 14 recurring character syndromes across all the world's lizards, he proposes a new lens for categorization. Although other books have attempted to survey the scope of adaptations present in the world's lizards, only Rodda has been able to quantify and summarize all species or higher taxa.Analyzing the relationships among traits such as morphologic characteristics, reproductive strategies, and food sources, Rodda uncovers novel insights into reptile ecology. He also touches oncommon namesgeographic rangelength-
