About this book

Language: German

During three decades, from the late 1980s to the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the authors explored the herpetofauna of southern Europe in around 15 trips, placing particular emphasis on reptile observations. In that time they have visited nine countries and several islands – from Portugal in the west to Greece in the east – and have been able to observe and photograph more than 100 species of reptiles and amphibians off the beaten track. In narrative form, the authors describe their observations and travel experiences in these countries. An even approximate completeness in the observation or enumeration of the reptile and amphibian species occurring in the areas visited was neither possible nor intended. Instead, special events and special places are described where the authors were able to observe and photograph their "lead species". In more than 100 photos they show the fascinating diversity of southern European herpetofauna. The book provides information on how to prepare for such special journeys as well as the technical requirements and refers to the relevant specialist and travel literature.

Summary in German:
Über drei Jahrzehnte, vom Ende der 1980er Jahre bis zu Beginn der weltweiten COVID-Pandemie 2019, haben die Verfasser in rund 15 Reisen die Herpetofauna Südeuropas erkundet, wobei sie besonderen Wert auf Reptilienbeobachtungen gelegt haben. In dieser Zeit haben sie neun Länder und mehrere Inseln – von Portugal im Westen bis Griechenland im Osten – besucht und dabei abseits der ausgetretenen Touristenpfade mehr als 100 Reptilien- und Amphibienarten beobachten und fotografieren können. In narrativer Form schildern die Verfasser ihre Beobachtungen und Reiseerfahrungen in den genannten Ländern. Eine auch nur annähernde Vollständigkeit bei der Beobachtung bzw. Aufzählung der in den bereisten Gebieten vorkommenden Reptilien- und Amphibienarten war dabei weder möglich, noch beabsichtigt. Stattdessen werden besondere Begebenheiten und besondere Orte beschrieben, an denen die Autoren ihre „Leitarten“ beobachten und fotografieren konnten. In mehr als 100 Fotos zeigen sie die faszinierende Vielfalt der südeuropäischen Herpetofauna. Das Buch gibt Hinweise zur Vorbereitung solcher speziellen Reisen sowie die technischen Erfordernisse und verweist auf entsprechende weiterführende Fach- und Reiseliteratur.
