Pennsylvania Amphibians Reptiles PDF Download

Though Pennsylvania receives the most emphasis here, readers will find references to all of the northeastern US. A wide audience will find this a useful resource, including professional and amateur herpetologists, students, and amateur naturalists. As in a field guide, the amphibians and reptiles are described in detail to aid identification. The text goes far beyond a simple field guide, however, containing substantial treatment of the habitat, habits, reproduction, and distribution of each species with additional remarks on taxonomic status, behavior, appearance and conservation. Color photos of each species are included. Two of the authors are curators for museums of natural history, the third teaches biology at Indiana U. of Pennsylvania. c. Book News Inc.
