Tadpoles of South-eastern Australia

By Marion Anstis

Identification & Natural History

If you want to know anything at all about tadpoles, this is the book for you.

While most frogs are out and about at night, tadpoles can often be seen swimming about during the day, but which tadpoles become which frogs?

Using meticulous scientific keys, this book finds the differences between tadpole species and enables both scientists and amateur naturalists to identify what species of frog a tadpole will become.

This book serves as an invaluable tool for monitoring frog populations and thus contribute towards our understanding of what is causing the worldwide trend towards frog declines.

Colour photographs, line drawings and distribution maps enhance the text for each species of frog and tadpole.
