Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Amphibian Declines: An Issue Overview
Amphibian Declines Amphibians, a class of vertebrates that includes frogs, salamanders, and caecilians, are amazing. As a group, they have been on this planet long before and ever since the dinosaurs. Various amphibian species have adapted to live in wetlands, forests, deserts, savannas, agricultural landscapes, and cities. Yet all of a sudden, many amphibian populations are declining around the world. Ranges of many species have been dramatically reduced and species extinctions have occurred rapidly.
