Vitt, Laurie J. and Eric R. Pianka (eds.) 1994. Lizard Ecology: Historical and Experimental Perspectives. Princeton University Press, Princeton, xii, 403 p. In a collection rich in implications for all fields of ecology, leading lizard ecologists demonstrate the utility of the phylogenetic approach in understanding the evolution of morphology, physiology, behavior, and life histories. Lizards, which are valued for their amenability to field experiments, have been the subject of reciprocal transplant experiments and of manipulations of resource availability, habitat structure, population density, and entire sections of food webs. Such experiments are rapidly rebuilding ecological theories as they apply to all organisms. As a demonstration of state-of-the-art historical and experimental research and as a call for philosophical engagement, this volume will join its predecessors--"Lizard Ecology: A Symposium (Missouri, 1967) and "Lizard Ecology: Studies of a Model Organism (Harvard, 1983)--in directing ecological research for years to come. "Lizard Ecology contains essays on reproductive ecology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary ecology, and population and community ecology.

Vitt, Laurie J. and Stella de la Torre. 1996. A research Guide to the Lizards of Cuyabeno. Guia Para la Investigacion de las Lagartijas de Cuyabeno. Muzeo de Zoologia (QCAZ), Centro de Biodiversidad y Ambiente, Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Ecuador, Quito, viii, 165 p. This study of lizards of Cuyabeno reflects a significant advance in our knowledge of the Ecusdorian Amazonia. It also serves as a valid argument for maintaining the protected area of the Faunal Production Reserve of Cuyabeno, for the conservation and sustainable utilization of this area, in an environment of aggressive, spontaneous colonization and a world of industrial extraction (be it of wood, minerals, or crude oil). In addition, the information presented on the species of lizards is valid not only for the Ecuadorian Amazonia, but also for surrounding areas such as Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. This work will form the foundation for future studies as well as serving as an excellent guide for ecotourism which is currently developing in the region. -- Dr. Tjitte de Vries, Director, Centro de Biodiversidad y Ambiente. $20.00
