O “Guia de Identificação das Espécies de Anfíbios (Anura e Gymnophiona) do Estado de Goiás e do Distrito Federal, Brasil Central” é um trabalho que busca promover a disseminação do conhecimento regional e popularizar o conhecimento sobre os anfíbios do Cerrado, sendo um instrumento de pesquisa útil, tanto para o leigo quanto para o pesquisador interessado. O guia está estruturado em seções que tratam da caracterização de 114 espécies de anfíbios (111 anuros e 3 gimnofionos) com informações disponíveis na literatura científica e dos próprios autores. A caracterização de cada espécie reúne informações sobre a localidade-tipo, a distribuição geográfica, os nomes populares, a caracterização morfológica do adulto e do girino e dados de história natural. São apresentadas imagens em vida das espécies e mapas de distribuição para o Estado de Goiás e Distrito Federal, além de uma chave dicotômica confeccionada a partir da seleção de algumas características morfológicas evidentes, que podem ajudar na identificação das espécies.

This extensively revised and expanded new edition offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this book thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs. The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: • sensory systems • social behaviour • brain and cognition • controlled deprivation and enrichment • effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare • spatial and thermal factors • evidential thresholds for species suitability in captivity • record keeping as an aid to captive care • arbitrary husbandry practices and misconceptions The authors have adopted a user-friendly writing style to accommodate a broad readership. Although primarily aimed at academic professionals, this comprehensive volume is fundamentally a biology book that will also inform all involved in captive reptile husbandry. Among others, zoo personnel, herpetologists, veterinarians, lab animal scientists, and expert readers in animal welfare and behavioural studies will benefit from this updated work.
