Australian Frogs: A Natural History

Growing attention has been focused on the plight of frogs in response to evidence that many species are in serious decline. 'Frogwatch' programmes involving monitoring of populations by school children and adults are undertaken annually in all States and the Northern Territory. It is against this backdrop that Australian Frogs - A Natural History provides a valuable resource on the ways and needs of these fascinating creatures, increasingly recognised as sensitive environmental indicators. Australian Frogs covers the origins, environment, nomenclature, habitats and biology of frogs, and it provides detailed insights which reveal the great diversity of these creatures.
