The field guide Terrestrial Fauna of the Azores, a tool developed by António M. Frias Martins (molluscs), Paulo A. V. Borges (arthropods) and Virgílio Vieira (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), professors and researchers at the University of the Azores, has the purpose of helping teachers and incite the curiosity of students and the general public, providing information about these animals in the classroom and helping to distinguish between similar-looking individuals, but not necessarily related, during their fieldwork activities.
