It includes illustrated species profiles for more than 30 common species, with field data, distribution information, key characters, and photographs for each species.A chapter on molecular phylogeny features in the introductory section.
As well as general information on taxonomy, structure, and reproduction, techniques for collection, preservation, and identification, both identification guides contain:
