Reptiles del Caribe colombiano
Este libro representa un importante trabajo hecho con autoridad, rigurosidad y mucho amor, que pone al alcance de los científicos, autoridades ambientales y público en general, el conocimiento de un grupo tan valioso como incomprendido y algunas veces satanizado: los reptiles. Los autores no solo ponen a disposición información secundaria, sino que la revisan, actualizan y hacen sus propios aportes al conocimiento de la biota de una importante región, que ha sido cruce obligado de caminos, en la dispersión de las faunas entre el sur y el norte del continente americano. La presentación es agradable y facilita su lectura y comprensión. Debería ser una herramienta básica en la toma de decisiones ambientales y en los currículos en la enseñanza de las ciencias en la región Caribe.
Rivers of South America
Rivers of South America examines the physical, chemical, and biological environment of South American Rivers, and the people living in their basins. The book explores the main river basins, with information on each river's history, physiography, clime, hydrology, biodiversity, ecological processes, environmental problems, management, and conservation. The book identifies conservation hotspots for riverine environments, and is enriched with a large number of maps, photos, graphs, and tables. This reference is important for aquatic ecologists, environmental authorities, local and national governments, academics, NGOs, and those interested in the preservation and management of flowing waters. - Presents boxed information in each chapter to provide clear and consistent highlights throughout - Provides a single source of information for South America's major rivers - Offers full-color photographs and topographical maps to demonstrate the beauty, major features, and uniqueness of each river system

Evaluación Ecológica de un Fragmento Urbano de Bosque Seco
Este libro es el resultado de un gran esfuerzo por conocer la flora y fauna asociada a un relicto de bosque seco tropical dentro de una matriz urbana ubicada en Santa Marta, Colombia. Es la primera vez que se realiza una investigación del estado funcional del relicto del bosque a través de los ciclos biogeoquímicos y el estudio de ecología a largo plazo por la metodología de parcela permanente. El libro es uno de los principales resultados del plan Decenal para el manejo del Bosque Seco Tropical del campus de la Universidad del Magdalena

Snakes
"This book fills the need for an up-to-date text/reference in the growing field of snake ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, in one volume is an extensive review of the biology of these fascinating reptiles, including topics such as zoogeography, fossil history, systematics, foraging and reproduction. With contributions from many leading herpetologists, the work is divided into sections on Systematics and Morphology, Methods and Techniques and Life History and Ecology. Each section summarizes what is known about these major fields of snake biology. This book serves the needs of those actively involved in research as well as the amateur naturalist and the beginning student."--pub. desc.
