Guia de Sapos da Reserva Adolpho Ducke, Amazonia Central (Guide to the Frogs of Reserva Adolpho Ducke, Central Amazonia)

摘要

Amazonia is among the most well investigated areas of high biodiversity in the world. Regarding herpe-tology, some places have a long tradition of surveys, and thus, are reasonably well known. Unfortunately, these areas are few in comparison to the total extent of Amazonia, which is also one of the most threatened zones in the world. Some of these well-studied locations are Santa Cecilia (Duellman 1978) and Cuyabeno (Vitt and de la Torre 1996), both in Ecuador, Manu (Morales and McDiarmid 1996), Llullapichis (Schulter et al. 2004), Iquitos (Rodriguez and Duellman 1994), and Cusco Amazonico (Duellman 2005) all in Peru, and the Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke (RFAD) close to Manaus, in Brazil (e.g., Martins and Oliveira 1998 for snakes). The book reviewed here provides a comprehensive review of the amphibians of the last of these localities.
