Environmental Physiology of the Amphibians
Editat de Martin E. Feder, Warren W. Burggrenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 1992
Through its emphasis on recent research, its many summary tables, and its bibliography of more than 4,000 entries, this first modern, synthetic treatment of comparative amphibian environmental physiology emerges as the definitive reference for the field. Forty internationally respected experts review the primary data, examine current research trends, and identify productive avenues for future research.
