An updated and annotated list of Indian lizards ... - Lacertilia.de

Checklist of Indian sauridsfor it to be used for further research purposes such aspredictions on species distributions, habitat suitability,and threat assessments etc. While there have beenglobal efforts to share and provide free access to speciesdistribution information (Ex. GBIF 2008), the currentreporting standards of publications on Indian reptiles(regional and national) actually hinder further usage ofthe information presented. This could be amelioratedonly if individual workers and publishing houses/journalspresent annotated checklists that contain source literatureand details substantiating the inclusion and omission ofeach species.REFERENCESAgrawal, H.P.
