Book Description
See all Editorial Reviews
"Anyone with an interest in the distribution and/or abundance of amphibians will find something of value in this remarkable collection of essays." -- Copeia
"There can be no doubt that Patterns of Distribution of Amphibians is destined to become the standard reference on amphibian zoogeography. It is an impressive book containing a breathtaking wealth of detail, while at the same time encompassing an extraordinarily broad subject area." -- Herpetological Review
"Patterns of Distribution of Amphibians provides a gateway to the pertinent literature on amphibian distribution for each geographic region of the globe. It should be on the shelves in the herpetology or biogeography section of any academic or research library." -- Ecoscience
"This book is an instant classic reference, rich in data and comparison and contrast, a tribute to the industry of all its authors, but especially of its editor who has been a ever-growing force in amphibian systematics and zoogeography over four decades." -- Canadian Field-Naturalist
Book Description
The first book to provide an analysis of the distribution of amphibians on a world-wide basis.
