DESCRIPTION:
game lover said At last, a companion volume to "Amphibians of Tennessee". This new volume is just as amazing as the previous one on amphibians, with detailed accounts on every species and the most stunning color photographs that you could hope to see. Being a temperate area, Tennessee actually has relatively few lizard species compared to warmer zones, only 9 to be exact, with some families (such as the anoles, spiny lizards, whiptails, and glass lizards) being represented by onl. Amazing DJ This is one of the best field guides I've ever used. I wish these authors would make a field guide like this for every state!. Amazon Customer said Great Book. A very informative and educational read. It is nice to have around if you're like me and enjoy looking at pictures of and reading about reptiles.
"Anyone with an interest in Tennessee's reptiles needs this book, and the misunderstood and often mistreated reptiles themselves will certainly agree. An excellent contribution!" -John Jensen, Co-Editor of The Amphibians and Reptiles of Georgia"This remarkable volume fills a gap in Tennessee natural history, providing maps, finding aids, descriptions, natural history and conservation notes for 60 native species, plus essays and clear photographs."-Asheville Citizen Times, "Booklover’s Dozen, 13 October 2013"
They are also the co-editors of The Amphibians of Tennessee (2011). Brian Miller Ph.D. and Graham Reynolds Ph.D., both doctoral graduates from the University of Tennessee, are presently postdoctoral research fellows at Yale University and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, respectively. Matthew Niemiller Ph.D. is a professor of biology at Middle Tennessee State University who has studied amphibians and reptiles
Glaringly absent from this assemblage, however, is an equivalent statewide guide to the remarkably diverse reptiles of the Volunteer State. Tennessee's biotic diversity has been well documented in field guides dedicated to its wildflowers; trees, shrubs, and woody vines; mussels; fishes; amphibians; and birds. This book fills that void by offering the first authoritative overview of all sixty native species of reptiles occurring in Tennessee.
