Download or read book The Status and Distribution of Reptiles and Amphibians of the Mediterranean Basin written by Neil Cox and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean-rim countries hold around 400 million people and 135 million of them live on the coast. A steady migration towards coastal areas, specifically in the south and east of the Mediterranean, is causing pressure on the coastal environment and, more importantly, on its biodiversity. In this second Mediterranean regional assessment, all the reptile and amphibian species existing within the region of study have been evaluated for their global conservation status. This assessment aims to assist in regional planning and to help identify internationally important sites for biodiversity. Like the first in the series, it also hopes to encourage development of a network of regional experts to enable future assessments and the continued updating of the baseline dataset.

Download or read book Themes in Old World Zooarchaeology written by Umberto Albarella and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of papers from leading experts provides an overview of cutting-edge research in Old World zooarchaeology. The research presented here spans various areas across Europe, Western Asia and North Africa – from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Several chapters focus on Iberia, but the eastern Mediterranean and Britain are also featured. Thematically, the book covers many of the research areas where zooarchaeology can provide a significant contribution. These include animal domestication, bone modifications, fishing, fowling, economic and social status, as well as adaptation and improvement. The investigation of these topics is carried out using a diversity of approaches, thus making the book also a useful compendium of traditional as well as more recently developed methodological applications. All contributions aim to present zooarchaeology as a discipline that studies animals to understand people, and their richly diversified past histories. This will be a valuable source of information not just for specialists, but also for general archaeologists and, potentially, also historians, palaeontologists and geographers, who have an interest for the research themes discussed in the book. The book is dedicated to Simon Davis, who has been a genuine pioneer in the development of modern zooarchaeology. It presents hugely stimulating case studies from the core areas where Davis has worked in the course of his career.

Download or read book Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Britain and Europe written by Jeroen Speybroeck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals. The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains outdated despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb colour illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and colour photographs are also included for most species. The book includes over 370 colour artworks and 200 colour photographs, 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps, and easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification.

Download or read book Snakes of Italy written by Gabriele Achille and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive review of the biology of snakes, focusing on Italian species. The snakes of Italy belong to the two families Colubridae and Viperidae, and for each species the systematic classification and chorology including distribution maps are presented. Furthermore, readers will learn how to carry out field studies, how to handle snakes and how to photograph them. The book concludes with a chapter on the iconography of historical Italian snakes and their importance in popular science, and one on myths and legends. This SpringerBriefs volume will appeal to herpetologists and technical staff. The section on iconography may also be of interest to museum staff.

Download or read book Population Bottlenecks and Range Expansion in Podarcis Muralis, a Wall Lizard Introduced from Italy written by Ninnia V. Lescano and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive populations undergo changes in genetic diversity during colonization and range expansion, which may influence adaptive ability and ultimately invasion success. Yet, surprisingly few studies have shown evidence of genetic bottlenecks expected for an invasive species. Ten individuals of the Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) from northern Italy were released in Cincinnati, Ohio during the early 1950's and has since spread to surrounding areas, reaching densities of 1500 individuals/acre where there is suitable habitat. Though this lizard has become a well established invasive in the Cincinnati region, little work has been done to quantify changes in Podarcis muralis genetic diversity during small scale range expansion. In this study, I compared genetic variation at eight microsatellite loci in the Cincinnati population to two contemporary European populations. The results show that a significant loss in genetic diversity occurred in the Cincinnati population indicating a past genetic bottleneck. Genetic bottlenecks subsequent to the initial colonization bottleneck were also detected in all but two of the seventeen subpopulations in the study. High levels of population differentiation were also found, even at small distances, which indicate minimal levels of gene flow between subpopulations. These results show that range expansion in the Cincinnati population does not occur through simple diffusion alone. Reports from citizen scientists indicate that accidental or intentional human introductions may be more common than previously thought in Cincinnati Podarcis muralis. Despite a severe genetic bottleneck, Podarcis muralis is thriving in its introduced range possibly due to an apparent lack of selective pressures. Few native lizards are present within the urban/suburban areas where they are found, there is an abundance of suitable habitat, and Cincinnati has a similar climate to northern Italy. Podarcis muralis should be closely monitored because they have the potential to spread to areas where they may pose a threat to native herpetofauna.
