Amphibian species around the world are unusually vulnerable to a
variety of threats, by no means all of which are properly
understood. Volume 11 in this major series is published in parts
devoted to the causes of amphibian decline and to conservation
measures in regions of the world. This volume, Part 5 in the
series, is concerned with Northern Europe (Luxembourg, Germany,
Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway,
Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark). Each chapter
has been written by experts from each country, describing the
ecological background and the conservation status of affected
species, with an emphasis on native species. As well as infectious
diseases and parasites, threats take the form of introduced and
invasive species, pollution, destruction and alteration of habitat,
and climatic change. These are discussed as they affect each
species. All these countries have monitoring schemes and
conservation programs, whose origins and activities are described.
Recommendations for action are also made. Edited by leading
scholars in the field, Volume 11, when complete, will provide a
definitive survey of the amphibian predicament and a stimulus to
further research with the objective of arresting the global decline
of an entire class of animal.
