Opis

This book encompasses the cytogenetic data of Hemidactylus geckos collected from different parts of Peninsular India and Eastern Himalayas region. The diploid no. of the cytologically analysed geckos ranged between 38-40, with 2n=38 is the least diploid no. recorded for any Hemidactylus gecko not only from India but also at the global level. The contents of the book will surely help a new comer to startup herpetology in general and gecko cytogenetics in particular.
