This concise yet informative field guide by Van Buurt presents the reptiles and amphibians of the ABC islands—Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire—within the broader context of the Venezuelan coastal archipelago. Far from being isolated, the herpetofauna of these islands reflects regional patterns and connections that make this guide a valuable resource for Caribbean naturalists and biogeographers alike.
Featuring 137 pages, 76 vivid color photographs, and 4 black-and-white distribution maps, this book is a significant contribution to the understanding and conservation of the Caribbean’s unique reptile and amphibian diversity.
