Amphibians and Reptiles of Nepal (2002)

English. 1200 pages, 377 colour photographs. Hardcover. € 149 / US$ 166
ISBN 3-904144-79-0 (079273)

Description: Description: F:\Mis documentos\Downloads\data\NpBCover.jpgNepal owes its rich diversity of over 50 amphibian and 130 reptile species to its unique geographic conditions. The country forms a gigantic flight of steps from the Gangetic Plain to the Tibetan Plateau, with climatic belts from the subtropics to eternal snow. Situated at the transitional zone between the Palearctic and Oriental zoogeographic regions, its herpetofauna consists of a mixture of Indian, Himalayan, Indo-Malayan, Tibetan, Chinese and SW Asian elements.
In spite of the fact that the herpetological exploration of Nepal began almost 200 years ago, there are still many open questions. Even the distribution of several deadly venomous snake species is almost unknown. Above all information on the East was very scarce, and recent expeditions brought surprising new records, including hints on the occurrence of a species of Flying Dragons. This book intends a critical stock-taking of today’s knowledge, including general ambient conditions, aspects of ethno-herpetology, conservation, snakebite incidents and zoogeography. The special part consists of illustrated keys as well as detailed paragraphs on each of the species. Besides the characters which are necessary for identification, there is a wealth of information on biological details of ecology, behaviour and reproduction.
Especial emphasis is laid on verified records from Nepal, which are plotted on a grid map for each species. A regional map shows the distribution of each species in Nepal and the adjacent countries. Two detailed lists furnish data on distribution in Nepal. One of them compiles the recorded localities for every species (in several cases over 100), the other gives geographic information on localities as elevation and position on the grid maps.Over 2,000 marginal drawings supplement the identification keys and provide additional information on morphological and biological details. 127 colour plates with 377 pictures illustrate over 130 species which are – with few exceptions – taken from life and often present different aspects of one species as variable colour patterns, sexes and developmental stages. 21 photos present typical habitats, others illustrate threats to the species as frog hunting, „killing for precaution“, souvenir market or inadequate keeping in temples.Up to our days printed information on amphibians and reptiles of Nepal consisted of more or less critically viewed checklists or even fantastic compilations without any solid base. Additionally, there were no general identification keys available.
This book now furnishes a solid base for future herpetological research, which is not only of scientific interest, but can help to reduce the number of snakebite victims drastically or help to avert imminent extermination of threatened species. Due to its rich illustration and an ample chapter on terminology it is not only addressed to scientists or students, but will also be of use to every interested naturalist.

Biologie und Systematik der Amphibien Nepals (2002) - Veröffentlichungen aus dem Fuhlrott-Museum, Band 6

German. 630 pages, over 400 drawings and b/w-photographs. Paperback.
EUR 48.- / ISBN 3-934921-05-1

This study provides a detailed summary of the preliminarily available biological data and informations concerning the systematics of all known amphibian species of Nepal. Additionally a key to the amphibian families and species was compiled and a checklist to the known common names in Nepali, English and German is presented. For 45 out of 49 known and analysed amphibian species in total, multiple drawings and sketches were made to show and to explain specific characteristics. Additionally, the general distribution and range of species in Asia and the exact local records in Nepal are provided in maps. Furthermore a summary of the amphibian locality records in Nepal and an overview of amphibian species of adjacent areas was realised. Biometrical data are presented in a table, and a listing of old code numbers of the studied types of the BMNH in contrast to the new ones facilitate the use of this numbers. For selected species morphological, biometrical, ecological and parasitological investigations, as well as bioacoustical analyses of specific call structures and studies of scanning microscopy were carried out.

Keywords: amphibians; systematics; key; checklist; distribution; morphology; biometry; parasitology; bioacoustics; ecology; scanning microscopy; SEM; Nepal.
