PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, POPULATION PARAMETER, AND MORPHOMETRIC RECORDS MORPHOMETRIC OF THE MONITOR LIZARD IN PAPUA

Many studies have explored animals without providing its physical environment, whereas, this information can provide broad understanding for the importance of ecological components. This study tried to combine some studies on how importance the ecological means on the density and population as well as morphometric of the monitor lizards.
