Provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the biology and evolution of Costa Rican herpetofauna ever produced. Savage begins with detailed discussions of the natural and cultural history of the area, setting the stage for an in-depth treatment of each of the 396 species of amphibians and reptiles found there. Each species account synthesizes and analyzes everything that is known about the animal's anatomy, behaviour, distribution, systematics, and evolutionary history and provides keys for identifying amphibians and reptiles in the field. In addition to distribution maps and systematic and morphological illustrations, it includes colour photographs of almost every species, many taken by distinguished nature photographers Michael and Patricia Fogden.
