Duellman is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work details the diverse herpetofauna of southern El Petén, focusing on amphibians and reptiles in the unique rainforest ecosystems of Guatemala. The study is rooted in field research conducted in 1960, highlighting the significance of this rich biodiversity and presenting taxonomic information, ecological observations, and descriptions of various species encountered. At the start of the publication, the author outlines the background of the research, including the geographical context and the facilities provided by the Ohio Oil Company during fieldwork. He provides descriptions of the rainforest environment, including its physiography, climate, and vegetation, which are crucial for understanding the habitat of the studied species. Additionally, Duellman introduces the methodology of specimen collection and acknowledges contributors to the research. The opening lays the groundwork for detailed assessments of the species accounts that follow, setting the stage for a comprehensive look at the amphibians and reptiles thriving in this biodiverse region.
