Pressezitat
"I feel it is a book written mainly for researchers. This monograph gives an idea about the research work carried out on Red Sanders and also points out the potential areas to work in future. More specifically, it implies understanding how certain species might be unique and need more focus." (S. Suresh Ramanan, Journal of Threatened Taxa, Vol. 12 (17), December, 2020)
