Dr. Huang has conducted extensive research on the reptiles of Orchid Island, Taiwan, for more than 29 years (1997-present). His work has resulted in over 40 publications in international journals, covering topics such as ecology, physiology, evolution, and behavior, with a particular focus on how climate change contributes to population declines and extinctions.

This book is the culmination of decades of long-term fieldwork, foundational ecological data collection, and detailed investigation into species interactions. All content is drawn directly from Dr. Huang's research and published findings.
