Herpetological surveys of forest fragments between Montagne d’Ambre National Park and Ankarana Special Reserve, Northern Madagascar (2011)
Journal Article
Reserve, Northern Madagascar. Herpetological conservation and biology, 6(1), 114-126

Despite Madagascar being well known for its unique biodiversity and high levels of endemism, its herpetofauna remains understudied, especially outside protected areas. Here, we surveyed the herpetofauna within the fragmented dry deciduous forests of...
