Book Synopsis Amphibians of the World - the Nature Lover's Life List by : Dale W. Mitchell
Download or read book Amphibians of the World - the Nature Lover's Life List written by Dale W. Mitchell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Amphibians of the World: The Nature Lover's Life List. It is the first and most beautiful (unillustrated) listing in print of all 7539 kinds of these creatures. Perhaps the most striking feature of Amphibians of the World will be its NEW LEXICON OF PROPOSED ENGLISH NAMES. For the first time in any major worldwide group, a comprehensive and systematic approach to common naming has been applied. The reader is encouraged to give feedback for future editions. Amphibians of the World is the only book to the all the Earth's amphibians which marries the useful combination of ENGLISH COMMON NAMES (for subspecies, too), SCIENTIFIC NAMES and their AUTHORSHIP/DATE, RANGE DESCRIPTIONS (where they live) and other features for those creatures that have them, such as I. U. C. N. conservation codes, introduced ranges, medical notes, etc. Also provided are sections on How to Use this Book, amphibian relationships, timeclips, sources, and no less than three Indexes and/or Cross-references. The student of these animals will be well served. It is shocking that this most basic combination of amphibian data has taken so long to appear in print. Birds and mammals have been graced with their own full-data checklists for years. Short essays on the logic underlying the author's take on the art of English common naming for these animals, the hobby of Herptiling, conservation and field ethics and what scientific classification may be saying about humankind's place in nature round out this presentation. As this is the hobby-oriented, Nature Lover's, version of this book (not just a 'scientific checklist'), it has a 'box' (actually a lozenge) to MARK YOUR SIGHTINGS, places to write in WHEN and WHERE YOU SAW AN ANIMAL, all in in a user-friendly format. The Date-Seen entry can be applied in either of two places in the life list to make room for longer locality data, where needed. Though the approach taken gives the specialist all her or his core 'bells and whistles', the focus of this effort is the general public. Think of this work as a sort of 'People's Listing' of these fellow travelers on our planet. Nature Paperback 8 1/2 x 11" (white Paper) 573 pages (plus cover)

Book Synopsis A Natural History of Amphibians by : Robert C. Stebbins
Download or read book A Natural History of Amphibians written by Robert C. Stebbins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for all readers who want to learn about amphibians, the animal group that includes frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. It draws on many years of classroom teaching, laboratory experience, and field observation by the authors. Robert Stebbins and Nathan Cohen lead readers on a fascinating odyssey as they explore some of nature's most interesting creatures, interspersing their own observations throughout the book. A Natural History of Amphibians can serve as a textbook for students and independent learners, as an overview of the field for professional scientists and land managers, and as an engaging introduction for general readers. The class Amphibia contains more than 4,500 known living species. New species are being discovered so rapidly that the number may grow to more than 5,000 during our lifetimes. However, their numbers are being rapidly decimated around the globe, largely due to the encroachment of humans on amphibian habitats and from growing human-caused environmental pollution, discussed at length in the final chapter. The authors focus our attention on the "natural history" of amphibians worldwide and emphasize their interactions with their environments over time: where they live; how they reproduce; how they have been affected by evolutionary processes; what factors will determine their destinies over time. Through the experienced eyes of the authors, who are skilled observers, we come to see and understand the place of amphibians in the natural world around us.
Book Synopsis Extinction in Our Times by : James P. Collins
Download or read book Extinction in Our Times written by James P. Collins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite suddenly and mysteriously. What is causing these extinctions? What role do human actions play in them? What do they tell us about the overall state of biodiversity on the planet? In Extinction in Our Times, James Collins and Martha Crump explore these pressing questions and many others as they document the first modern extinction event across an entire vertebrate class, using global examples that range from the Sierra Nevada of California to the rainforests of Costa Rica and the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Joining scientific rigor and vivid storytelling, this book is the first to use amphibian decline as a lens through which to see more clearly the larger story of climate change, conservation of biodiversity, and a host of profoundly important ecological, evolutionary, ethical, philosophical, and sociological issues.

Book Synopsis Amphibian Evolution by : Rainer R. Schoch
Download or read book Amphibian Evolution written by Rainer R. Schoch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the first vertebrates to conquer land and their long journey to become fully independent from the water. It traces the origin of tetrapod features and tries to explain how and why they transformed into organs that permit life on land. Although the major frame of the topic lies in the past 370 million years and necessarily deals with many fossils, it is far from restricted to paleontology. The aim is to achieve a comprehensive picture of amphibian evolution. It focuses on major questions in current paleobiology: how diverse were the early tetrapods? In which environments did they live, and how did they come to be preserved? What do we know about the soft body of extinct amphibians, and what does that tell us about the evolution of crucial organs during the transition to land? How did early amphibians develop and grow, and which were the major factors of their evolution? The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Books in the series provide a summary of the current state of knowledge, a trusted route into the primary literature, and will act as pointers for future directions for research. As well as volumes on individual groups, the series will also deal with topics that have a cross-cutting relevance, such as the evolution of significant ecosystems, particular key times and events in the history of life, climate change, and the application of a new techniques such as molecular palaeontology. The books are written by leading international experts and will be pitched at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in both the paleontological and biological sciences.
