In this volume sixteen distinguished amphibian biologists present an extensive review and synthesis of those fields that relate significantly to the evolution of frogs and toads. Their seperate analyses are updated and elaborated presentations of findings that were offered originally at the 1970 meetings of the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles on the Kansas City campus of the University of Missouri, and serve as a comprehensive overview of activity in the field. The book is organized to focus on evolutionary mechanisms and patterns from the perspectives of behavior, bioacoustics, biochemistry, genetics, morphology, paleontology, and reproductive biology.
Book and dust jacket are in like new condition.
