Description
The Murray–Darling Basin spans more than 1 million square kilometres across the lower third of Queensland, most of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, northern Victoria, and the south-eastern corner of South Australia. Wildlife habitats range from the floodplains of the Basin to alpine areas, making the region of special ecological and environmental interest.
Frogs and Reptiles of the Murray–Darling Basin is the first comprehensive guide to the 310 species of frogs and reptiles living in the Murray–Darling Basin. An overview of each of the 22 catchment areas introduces the unique and varied climates, topography, vegetation, and fauna. Comprehensive species accounts include diagnostic features, conservation ratings, photographs, and distribution maps for all frogs, freshwater turtles, lizards, and snakes recorded in this important region.
