"The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michoacán, México" by William Edward Duellman is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work focuses on the diverse amphibian and reptile species found in Michoacán, providing an extensive survey of their habitats, distribution, and systematic classification. It aims to fill gaps in previous herpetological studies by offering detailed accounts based on collections and fieldwork conducted over several years. The opening of the work presents an introduction that outlines the author's extensive research and fieldwork in Michoacán, beginning with the backdrop of previous studies in the region. It highlights a mutual endeavor among herpetologists to explore poorly documented areas and emphasizes the author's goal of compiling an annotated list of the amphibians and reptiles of the state. The narrative sets the stage for a structured analysis of the geographical and ecological contexts affecting species distributions, thus establishing the importance of this work for both systematic herpetologists and biogeographers interested in the region's rich biodiversity.
