Evolutionary Ecology of Amphibians 1st Edition

Evolutionary Ecology of Amphibians, 1st Edition offers a compelling dive into the biology and conservation of one of Earth’s most vulnerable vertebrate groups. Combining evolutionary theory with field-tested ecological insight, this volume illuminates how amphibians have adapted — and continue to adapt — across diverse habitats from tropical rainforests and montane cloud forests to temperate wetlands and Mediterranean landscapes.

Readers will find clear, evidence-driven discussions of life-history strategies, reproductive behavior, population dynamics, disease ecology, and the role of environmental change in shaping amphibian diversity. Case studies span global regions — North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia — making the book relevant to researchers and conservation practitioners working in any biogeographic setting. Emphasis on both microevolutionary processes and large-scale biogeographic patterns makes the text ideal for graduate students, field ecologists, and policy-minded conservationists.

What sets this edition apart is its practical synthesis: it connects evolutionary concepts to real-world conservation challenges such as habitat loss, climate change, and emerging pathogens. The result is an accessible yet rigorous resource that supports study design, informs management strategies, and enriches classroom teaching.

Whether you’re building a research library, updating course materials, or seeking an authoritative reference for conservation planning, Evolutionary Ecology of Amphibians is an essential addition.
