From dust jacket: The Amphibians and Reptiles of Louisiana is the only detailed and comprehensive study of the state's widely varied herpetofauna ever published. Harold A. Dundee and Douglas A. Rossman describe each of the state's 130 species, providing information on each animal's life history as well as feeding, behavioral, and reproductive habits. They also discuss the taxonomy and taxonomic problems of the various species and provide the keys for the identification of the animals. Eugene C. Beckham's twenty-four exquisitely rendered color plates highlight each specis' significant structural features and markings. The book also contains a number of line drawings and more than one hundred detailed distribution maps that show the known localities of each species within the staet. Dundee and Rossman provide a brief history of herpetology in Louisiana, and offer useful information on caring for amphibians and reptiles in captivity as well as on collecting and preserving specimens. In response to an area of continuing popular concern, they include a discussion of snakebite and treatment. Pointing to the declining populations of some species, the authors emphasize the need for conservation. They also analyze the zoogeography of the herpetofauna. With its many illustrations, identification keys, and clear descriptions, The Amphibians and Reptiles of Louisiana will prove useful and informative for professional and amateur herpetologists, as well as students and those generally interested in Louisiana's herpetofauna.
