Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Anura
This book covers the major aspects of phylogeny and reproductive biology of frogs in chapters written by major authorities. Topics treated are: anuran phylogeny, classification and reproductive modes; gross anatomy of the reproductive system; oogenesis; endocrinology of reproduction; spermatogenesis and the mature spermatozoon; breeding glands; int
The Status and Distribution of Reptiles and Amphibians of the Mediterranean Basin
The Mediterranean-rim countries hold around 400 million people and 135 million of them live on the coast. A steady migration towards coastal areas, specifically in the south and east of the Mediterranean, is causing pressure on the coastal environment and, more importantly, on its biodiversity. In this second Mediterranean regional assessment, all the reptile and amphibian species existing within the region of study have been evaluated for their global conservation status. This assessment aims to assist in regional planning and to help identify internationally important sites for biodiversity. Like the first in the series, it also hopes to encourage development of a network of regional experts to enable future assessments and the continued updating of the baseline dataset.

North American Anura
Excerpt from North American Anura: Life-Histories of the Anura of Ithaca, New York I would also express a hope that a little book Of this kind may have the effect Of stimulating interest in a subject that has been too much neglected, and in the cultivation Of which new workers will find much to repay their efforts, especially if applied in other regions Of the globe, which, though richer in Batrachians, have as yet yielded little or nothing to our knowledge Of the life-histories. Dr. Gill in his review Of the work just mentioned, remarks that he hopes this monograph* may serve as a model for other lands, and not least for the United States. Every sojourner in the country must have noticed th...
The Genera of Phyllomedusine Frogs (Anura: Hylidae)
In the meticulously compiled 'The Genera of Phyllomedusine Frogs (Anura: Hylidae),' William Edward Duellman presents an encompassing taxonomic review of a fascinating subgroup of tree frogs known for their unique leaf-like appearance and diverse behaviors. The book delves deeply into the biology, distribution, and evolutionary relationships within the Phyllomedusine frogs, providing herpetologists and evolutionary biologists with a vital resource grounded in thorough research and empirical evidence. Duellman's scientific prose, which carries the clear imprints of his in-depth field experiences and academic rigor, ensures the work's place within the broader literary context of herpetological ...
Mediterranean Identities
What is the Mediterranean? The perception of the Mediterranean leans equally on the nature, culture, history, lifestyle, and landscape. To approach the question of identity, it seems that we have to give importance to all of these. There is no Mediterranean identity, but Mediterranean identities. Mediterranean is not about the homogeneity and uniformity, but about the unity that comes from diversities, contacts, and interconnections. The book tends to embrace the environment, society, and culture of the Mediterranean in their multiple and unique interconnections over the millennia, contributing to the better understanding of the essential human-environmental interrelations. The choice of 17 chapters of the book, written by a number of prominent scholars, clearly shows the necessity of the interdisciplinary approach to the Mediterranean identity issues. The book stresses the most serious concerns of the Mediterranean today - threats to biodiversity, risks, and hazards - mostly the increasing wildfires and finally depletion of traditional Mediterranean practices and landscapes, as constituent parts of the Mediterranean heritage.

Frogs of the United States and Canada
The most thorough, updated guide to frogs and toads in the United States and Canada available. A stunning diversity of frog species can be found from coastal swamps to lofty mountain peaks, and from the Florida Keys to the Arctic Ocean. They live in subtropical lowlands, grassland prairies, deserts, and alpine-tundra habitats. Some species have restricted habitat requirements, whereas others occur contiguously from the arid plains or humid southeastern forests to the high tundra. In this new edition of Frogs of the United States and Canada, C. Kenneth Dodd Jr. tours the reader through the marvelous world of North American frogs. Covering 114 native and introduced species from all US states a...
