Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal diversity present within the archipelago is only just starting to be appreciated. This is no better exemplified than in lizards, where just 30 species (20 skinks, 10 geckos) were recognized in the 1950s, but now 104 are formally or informally recognized (61 skinks, 43 geckos). Thus, New Zealand contains one of the most diverse lizard faunas of any cool, temperate region on Earth. This book brings together the world’s leading experts in the field to produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, life-history, physiology and conservation of New Zealand lizards. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Fossil record of New Zealand lizards; Lizard behaviour; Lizard conservation; New Zealand lizard taxonom | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41674-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82407-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-41674-8 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
