Description
Frogs of Southern Africa: A Complete Guide remains the most authoritative and
comprehensive treatment of the frogs of the region ever produced, covering all
aspects of frog and tadpole biology and behaviour.
This new edition (with a slight name change) has been thoroughly updated to
reflect taxonomic changes based on the most recent research and DNA studies, and
includes the discovery of seven new species.
All 164 southern African frog species, and their tadpole stages, are fully described,
along with their conservation status, calls, habitat and habits. Identification is made
easy with the aid of large, full-colour images, keys to species and summary panels on
‘Key ID points’ and ‘Distinctive characters’.
Calls for most species can be accessed instantly via QR codes in the book or
downloaded from a dedicated website. Spectrograms of the calls are also included in
the book.
Written by respected authorities in the field, this timely updated edition will be of
benefit to all nature lovers, amateur ‘froggers’, students and professional scientists.
