Book review
on
Tadpoles, The Biology of Anuran Larvae
10 Aug 03
I bought this when it was first released. Although I haven't read it
cover to cover (started to but then just grazed) it is excellent. The
authors mention their primary reason for putting this book out was the
paucity of tadpole information. What as out there was also a hodge-podge
based on what each individual author felt was important. They state this
book will hopefully be a standard for anyone else who does tadpole work.
The standards include terminology, methods and protocols, and data. They
then summarize what is known about tadpoles, By and large anyone with a
strong interest in anuran biology must have this book as it takes
tadpoles to make frogs.
