Squamata Verlag
The 'Cordyliformes Bibliography' is an ever-growing website that catalogs references of anything related to the biology of the two lizard families Cordylidae and Gerrhosauridae (Reptilia: Sauria: Squamata). Currently it contains over 1.400 items, ranging in focus from palaeontology, ecology and general biology through captive breeding. Due to the size of this bibliography, it has been split into several parts, ordered by author´s last name. The references have been entered from the “BIBLIOTHECA CORDYLIFORMIUM”, and manually. The bibliography is based on a review of original papers and does not include theses, dissertations and 'gray literature'. Virtually every citation has been checked to ensure accurate and comprehensive coverage of the literature of the Cordyliformes – however, always double check references! If you utilize this bibliography for your research and find that it was a useful resource, please acknowledge it in your publications.   Please e-mail new references to me!
