Boas of the West Indies: Evolution, Natural History, and Conservation
Description:
Boas of the West Indies is a comprehensive survey of booid snakes, commonly known as boas, found on the islands of the Lucayan Archipelago, the Greater Antilles, and the Lesser Antilles. Bringing together the expertise of leading herpetologists R. Graham Reynolds, Robert W. Henderson, Luis M. Díaz, Tomás Michel Rodríguez, and Alberto R. Puente-Rolón, this volume synthesizes current and new findings on the evolutionary biology, natural history, and conservation statuses of these iconic snakes.
One of the most ecologically diverse snake families, boas have inhabited the West Indies for millions of years. From the Cuban boa, a feature of many folk legends that may grow over twice a person's height, to the Hispaniolan Vineboa, discovered only in 2020 and known to measure less than a meter long, Boas of the West Indies examines the eighteen species extant on these islands along with several others now extinct. Species accounts include details such as phenotypic traits, distribution, and behavior. Introductory chapters discuss the history of human-boa interaction, differences between West Indian and neotropical mainland boids, current conservation efforts, and more.
Illustrated with over a hundred color photographs and range maps, Boas of the West Indies is a benchmark reference for herpetologists, conservationists, and snake hobbyists that expands our knowledge of?and celebrates?these fascinating creatures so integral to the ecology of these islands.
