Book Description
Southern Africa is home to a remarkably diverse and rich reptile fauna, which is presented in this book in a lively and accessible way. A Guide to the Reptiles of Southern Africa introduces the 517 species currently described in the region and presents interesting insight on reptile identification and diversity, distribution patterns, and biology and behaviour. It also offers tips on finding and observing reptiles, as well as unravelling the facts and fallacies of snakebite. Southern African reptiles fall into three main groups (orders): snakes and lizards, crocodiles and shelled reptiles, and each group comprises in turn a number of related families and sub-groups, which form the basic structure of the book. The reptiles are discussed within their relevant groups according to appearance, biology, reproduction, distribution and conservation status. Informative panels with simple icons provide key information on distribution, typical habitat and period of activity, and a wealth of full-colour photographs brings the subject matter vividly to life.

Book Description
The indiscriminate use of pesticides is considered one of the important factors that change the environment by causing imbalances in the ecosystem. According to IUCN (2009), there are now 1,677 reptiles species have been included on the IUCN Red List, with 293 added in 2009. In total, 469 are threatened with extinction and 22 are already Extinct or Extinct in the wild. The present studies included the induced effects of two pesticides cypermethrin (pyrethroid) and malathion (organophosphate) on Agama lizard. It was observed that under the effects of cypermethrin and malathion the enzyme activities were found to be significantly inhibited in liver, kidney and brain tissues of treated lizards. On the basis of present findings it is concluded that cypermethrin and malathion both pesticides are harmful for agama lizards. The research techniques and results are helpful for graduate and research students of Biological Sciences, Environmental Science and wetland managers.
