Frogs of Southern Africa

Newly revised, "Frogs of Southern Africa: A Complete Guide" is 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 edition (with a slight name change) has been thoroughly updated to reflect taxonomic changes based on the most recent DNA studies, and includes 12 new species and over 130 new photographs. All 169 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 assessed via QR codes in the book or downloaded from a dedicated website (www.frogbook.co.za). Spectrograms of the calls are also included in this book.
Written by respected authorities in the field, this new edition will be of benefit to all nature lovers, amateur 'froggers', students and professional scientists.
