An expansive and detailed review of the biology of Caribbean
amphibians, considering their threats, conservation and outlook in
a changing world. Amphibians are the group of vertebrates
undergoing the fastest rate of extinction; it is urgent that we
understand the causes of this and find means of protecting them.
This landmark illustrated volume brings together the leading
experts in the field. As well as offering an overview of the region
as a whole, individual chapters are devoted to each island or
island-group and the measures used to protect their amphibians
through legislation or nature reserves. The biological background
of insular biogeography, including its methods, analysis and
results, is reviewed and applied specifically to the problems of
Caribbean amphibians - this includes a re-examination of patterns
and general ideas about the status of amphibians in the
Anthropocene. The Conservation and Biogeography of Amphibians in
the Caribbean offers an important baseline against which future
amphibian conservation can be measured in the face of climate
change, rising sea level and a burgeoning human population. Covers
over 300 species.
