AMPHIBIAWEB

It is with great regret that I am stepping down as the compiler of the Latest Papers section of Froglog; illness has forced me to quit. My monthly listing has its origins in Froglog and the discipline that it required was my way of keeping up with everything that was being published about amphibian declines. At the time, I had no idea how a trickle of papers would eventually become a torrent. I am proud to have been associated with AmphibiaWeb which, in my view is a quite outstanding resource for biologists. It would have been very difficult for me to have written "The Book of Frogs" without it. I am sure that AmphibiaWeb will continue to thrive and diversify and remain a unique feature of the herpetological world.

These monthly reference lists were compiled by Professor Tim Halliday (formerly DAPTF International Director). They list papers on amphibian declines, their causes, and on amphibian conservation, with an emphasis on those that describe methods for monitoring and conserving amphibian populations. It was discontinued in July 2018.
