About this book

Throughout much of the world, frog populations are declining, with the survival of many species under threat. In Australia, several species have become extinct in the past 35 years.

This revised second edition of Field Guide to the Frogs of Australia provides fully updated accounts of all the known frogs of Australia. Compared to the second edition published in 2011, this revision includes 18 native frog species that have been newly described since then. There are 248 species within the five native frog families: Hylidae, Limnodynastidae, Microhylidae, Myobatrachidae and Ranidae. Also included are the introduced Cane Toad and nine 'stowaway' species that have arrived in Australia.

Each species account includes details of size, status, distribution, habitat, behaviour and advertisement call. Species are beautifully illustrated with full-colour paintings and distribution maps are also included. Closely related frogs are shown in identical poses so that comparisons can be made readily. The introductory section of Field Guide to the Frogs of Australia covers frog biology and habitats and includes notes on families and genera.

Media reviews

"This guide will remain a fitting testament to his [Mike Tyler's] massive contribution to Australian froggery. That alone is a good enough reason to buy it."
