Synopsis Dive into the world of Reptiles in Ecuador! Reptiles in Ecuador is a comprehensive guide to a group of reptiles in Ecuador: a spectacular synthesis of photography and research....

Reptiles of Ecuador is a meticulously created field guide that has gained attention due to its expansive scope, novel photographic style, open-access nature, and funding strategy.

Everyone grasps the fundamental concept of a field guide: a book designed to aid in the identification of species in the wild while offering pertinent information about them. Unlike encyclopedias, field guides strive to provide information about every species within a specific animal or plant group in a given geographical area. Field guides can be comprehensive when the number of species covered is limited.

The first-ever photographic field guide to all 495 reptile species of Ecuador. Years in the making, the strenuous efforts involved in locating and photographing all these animals have resulted in the discovery of several new species, as well as species presumed extinct, all of which are featured in this book.
