FROGS OF THE ECUADORIAN AMAZON, A GUIDE TO THEIR CALLSRecorded by Morley Read |

Western Amazonia, and the Ecuadorian Amazon in
particular, has an extremely high amphibian biodiversity, with more species
of frogs per unit area than anywhere else in South America. This
important work enables both amateur and profesional biologists
make sense of the bewildering variety of frog calls one hears practically
everywere in this region both by day and night and enabling field biologists
to assess frog populations rapidly as most species can be identified from
their call alone.
This work is the result of a decade of fieldwork in the region by biologist and photographer Dr. Morley Read. |
| This audio CD includes sound recordings of the
calls of 89 species of frogs and toads from the Amazon of Ecuador, below
600m elevation. A colour booklet is included which illustrates 90 species.
