About this book

Language: French

This atlas follows the eponymous work published in 2000 by the MNHN under the direction of Jean Lescure and Christian Marty. It integrates the considerable progress in knowledge of the taxonomy, distribution, ecology and conservation of amphibians in French Guiana. The distribution maps are based on more than 22,000 verified data points that go beyond the borders of Guiana and justify the status of the species.

Particular attention has also been paid to the evolutionary history of the species, their relationships and the uncertainties that sometimes still remain about their taxonomy. It is necessary to highlight the exceptional educational work carried out by the authors via high-quality iconography illustrating all the species in their living environment.

The work integrates new identification tools based on illustrations by Maël Dewynter. With this work, the authors aim to generate interest in these species and their conservation. Aimed at a wide audience of naturalists, students, teachers, and lovers of Guyana, this atlas is a celebration of Guyanese biodiversity. It also aims to be a reference for all those involved in the conservation of Amazonian biodiversity.

Summary in French:
Cet atlas succède à l’ouvrage éponyme publié en 2000 par le MNHN sous la direction de Jean Lescure et Christian Marty. Il intègre les progrès considérables des connaissances sur la taxonomie, la répartition, l’écologie et la conservation des amphibiens de Guyane française. Les cartes de répartition s’appuient sur plus de 22 000 données vérifiées qui outrepassent les frontières de la Guyane et permettent de justifier le statut des espèces.

Une attention particulière a également été portée à l’histoire évolutive des espèces, leurs relations de parenté et les incertitudes qui demeurent encore parfois à propos de leur taxonomie. Il faut souligner le travail exceptionnel de pédagogie effectué par les auteurs via une iconographie de grande qualité illustrant toutes les espèces dans leur milieu de vie.

L’ouvrage intègre des outils d’identification inédits basés sur les illustrations de Maël Dewynter. Avec cet ouvrage, les auteurs ont pour ambition de susciter l’intérêt pour ces espèces et leur conservation. S’adressant à un large public, aux naturalistes, étudiants, enseignants, amoureux de la Guyane, cet atlas est une célébration de la biodiversité Guyanaise. Il a également pour ambition de constituer une référence pour toutes les personnes engagées dans la conservation de la biodiversité amazonienne.
