Shahrul Anuar Md. Sah, . and Quah Evan S. H., . Herpetofauna of the northern corridor: a review of recent herpetological discoveries around the Malaysian-Thai border regions. pp. 15-29. ISSN 0121-8126
Abstract
A review of published herpetological literature of the areas around the Malaysian-Thai border reveal that these areas are herpetologically rich and support a unique assemblage of species not found elsewhere in the country. This region forms an important biogeographical transition zone between many Indochinese and Sundaland taxa. In recent years many new species have been described from the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand with many of these new species being narrow ranged endemics. Thus greater efforts must be made to thoroughly sample these areas to assess their herpetofaunal diversity so that appropriate measures can be taken to preserve them.
