1 Introduction; 2 The Pleistocene in Britain and Europe; 3 The European Herpetofauna: Paleocene Through Pliocene; 4 A Bestiary.
Annotated Taxonomic Accounts; 5 Pleistocene Herpetological Localities; 6 Herpetological Species as Paleoenvironmental Indicators; 7 Herpetological Population Adjustments in the Pleistocene of Britain and Europe; 8 Extinction Patterns in the Herpetofauna of the Pleistocene of Britain and Europe; 9 Pleistocene Events in the Herpetofaunas of Britain and Europe, and North America Compared; References; General Index; A; B; C; E; F; G; H; I; L; M; P; Q; R; S; T; V.
The Pleistocene epoch or Ice Age, an extended period of advancing and retreating ice sheets, is characterized by striking climatic oscillations and sea level fluctuations. This age saw the rise and spread of humans and a great extinction of large mammals by the end of the epoch; in fact, the world today is essentially the product of dramatic changes that took place in the Pleistocene. This book, a companion to the author's Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in North America, discusses the Pleistocene amphibians and reptiles in Britain and the European continent eastward through present-day Po.
