They possess uniquely adapted hands and feet distinct from other tetrapods. They feature independently movable eyes. This comprehensive volume delves into these fascinating details and thorough research about one of the most charismatic families of reptiles-Chameleonidae. Written for professional herpetologists, scholars, researchers, and students, this book takes readers on a voyage across time to discover everything that is known about chameleon biology: anatomy, physiology, adaptations, ecology, behavior, biogeography, phylogeny, classification, and conservation. A description of the natural history of chameleons is given, along with the fossil record and typical characteristics of each genus. The state of chameleons in the modern world is also depicted, complete with new information on the most serious threats to these remarkable reptiles. 606 $aChameleons 610 $aadaptation. 610 $aanatomy. 610 $abehavior study. 610 $abiogeography. 610 $abiology researchers. 610 $abiology students. 610 $abiology. 610 $achamaeleons. 610 $achameleon biology. 610 $achameleons. 610 $achange color. 610 $aclassification. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aecology. 610 $aevolution. 610 $afamily chamaeleonidae. 610 $afossil records. 610 $aherpetology. 610 $alizards. 610 $amoveable eyes. 610 $anatural history. 610 $aold world lizards. 610 $aphylogeny. 610 $aphysiology. 610 $aprehensile tail. 610 $aprofessional herpetologists. 610 $arange of colors. 610 $areptiles. 610 $ascience and math. 610 $ascience. 610 $ascientists. 610 $aspecies. 610 $atheoretical. 610 $azygodactylous feet. 615 0$aChameleons. 676 $a597.95/6 701 $aTolley$b Krystal$01466796 701 $aHerrel$b Anthony$01104106 701 $aMenegon$b Michele$01466797 701 $aAnderson$b Christopher V$01466798 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787774103321 996 $aThe biology of chameleons$93677435 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01707oam 2200517zu 450 001 9910376502603321 005 20251001154548.0 035 $a(CKB)3170000000002707 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000752983 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12309513 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000752983 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10801000 035 $a(PQKB)11376762 035 $a(Association for Computing Machinery)10.1145/1159876 035 $a(EXLCZ)993170000000002707 100 $a20160829d2006 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mam|a 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aML'06 : proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 2006 Workshop on ML : September 16, 2006, Portland, Oregon, USA 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cACM Press$d2006 215 $a1 online resource (102 p.;) 225 1 $aACM Conferences 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a1-59593-483-9 410 0$aACM Conferences 517 3 $aML '06 606 $aML (Computer program language) 606 $aComputer programming 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aComputer Science$2HILCC 615 0$aML (Computer program language) 615 0$aComputer programming. 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aComputer Science 676 $a005.13/3 700 $aKennedy$b Andrew J$01849764 712 02$aACM Digital Library. 712 12$aACM SIGPLAN Workshop on ML. 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910376502603321 996 $aML'06 : proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 2006 Workshop on ML : September 16, 2006, Portland, Oregon, USA$94441880 997 $aUNINA
