Recenzii
“The subtitle of the book refers to the ‘Reptiles at the End of the World.’ To me, phrases like this, commonly applied to Patagonia, give an almost apocalyptical impression … . Let’s hope that the end of world applies only in its geographical connotation, and that future researchers can use this book as a road map for the benefit of Patagonian lizards and other species in this wonderful and vast region of the world.” (Juan D. Daza, Herpetological Review, Vol. 53 (3), 2022)
Notă biografică
Dr. Mariana Morando is a Principal Researcher at the National Research Council of Argentina, working at the Instituto Patagónico para el Estudio de los Ecosistemas Continentales of Puerto Madryn, Chubut, and Professor of Evolution and Genetics at the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco. She completed her basic studies at the Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto in 1994, a Master at Brigham Young University (BYU, USA) in 2003, her PhD at Universidad Nacional de Tucumán in 2004 (Argentina), and a postdoctoral leave at BYU in 2014-2015. Her research focuses on phylogenetic and phylogeographic aspects of the Patagonian and northwestern lizard fauna of Argentina, mainly using molecular markers. She has authored or co-authored 117 peer-reviewed papers.
Dr. Luciano Javier Avila is a Principal Researcher at the National Research Council of Argentina working at the Instituto Patagónico para el Estudio de los Ecosistemas Continentales of Puerto Madryn, Chubut.

He is the author or co-author of 195 articles and notes on species limits, phylogenies, phylogeographies, bioinventories, biogeography, spatial ecology and natural history (including 90 peer-reviewed articles), nearly 80% of which involved Patagonian lizards.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book presents a critical and integrated review of lizards from Patagonia. It summarizes the region’s geomorphological history and climatic aspects, which makes it possible to interpret, from an evolutionary perspective, the latest findings on the various natural history aspects of its lizard fauna. As such, the book will appeal to all researchers and professionals specialized in lizard ecology and evolution.
Caracteristici
This is the first major review in this field in the last two decades Identifies general patterns in several co-distributed lizard species Focuses on lizards, which are one of the most important taxa in desert regions, and whose population dynamics are indicative of climate change
