Compare The Call Of The Crawfish Frog by Michael J. Lannoo, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Crawfish Frogs (Rana areolata) have been called the most secretive frog in North America, and it is unusual in the twenty-first century - in the most scientifically advanced country in the world - that basic discoveries can still be made on an animal that inhabits a quarter of the United States. This is not only a story of the biology of Crawfish Frogs, but a case study of discovery. This volume describes the life history and natural history critical to the survival of the endangered amphibian and recommends management actions to ensure persistence. The authors tell an optimistic conservation biology story and fill a gap between science and the public. The authors have compiled and summarized the peer-reviewed literature on the biology of Crawfish Frogs, which may be one of the most interesting frogs in North America (that nobody knows about).Key Features Recounts the story of an imperiled species and how to go about saving itVividly brings science to life and makes it accessibleProvides a popular account of natural history research and ecological fieldworkRelated Titles D.
