Lizards of Patagonia cover

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.

“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)
