In what is certain to be the key reference on iguanas for years to come, some of the world's leading experts offer a clear and accessible account of the latest research on the evolution, behavioural ecology, and conservation of these creatures. The first section focuses on different aspects of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of iguanas and includes a complete checklist of species. In the second section, contributors address the behaviour and ecology of iguanas and provide compelling evidence that both may be far more complex than previously appreciated. The third and final section, highlighting the threats facing iguana populations today, describes the broad array of innovative conservation strategies that will be needed to help ensure their survival.
`Much has been discovered about iguanas in the last twenty years. This valuable reference pulls material from scattered sources into one volume. It provides an excellent review of iguana ecology, behaviour, evolution, and genetic diversity.' Bill Cooper, Indiana University-Purdue University
