Frogs and Toads in Your Pocket

A Guide to Amphibians of the Upper Midwest

Terry VanDeWalle

Publication Year: 2011

<P><DIV>Frogs and toads have become canaries in the coal mine when it comes to conservation, as the discovery of malformed frogs has brought increased attention to global habitat loss, declining biodiversity, and environmental pollution. Midwestern species of frogs and toads&mdash;already declining due to habitat loss from agriculture&mdash;have been greatly affected by this worldwide phenomenon. VanDeWalle includes a complete description of each species along with distinguishing characteristics for three subspecies, information about range and habitat preferences, diet, types of calls, and breeding season.</DIV></P>
