Industry Reviews

"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)
