Publisher's Synopsis
Tree frogs are indicator species because they are the first to be affected by the introduction of ecological change, toxins, or even the loss of breeding grounds. Tree frogs are tremendously important in the ecosystem and food web. Their absence would affect both predator and prey alike and cause the entire environment to become unstable. Understanding amphibians help us to understand tree frogs. In this full-color picturesque book, you will learn how tree frogs overcome the odds for survival, despite a high mortality rate for their tadpoles. Tree Frogs: Nature's Singing Chorus will help you appreciate frogs and the sensitive balance we have in nature.
