Abstract | Anomalies in animals and humans have attracted human curiosity for
centuries and the literature on this topic is enormous. The rediscovery
of hotspots of malformed frogs by school-kids in the USA in 1996 has
brought this issue into the spotlight of the media, the public, politics
and science. This volume of MERTENSIELLA provides the first
comprehensive global review of the occurrence of anomalies in natural
populations of amphibians and of the types of anomalies that have been
evoked by experimental exposure to the potential causative factors of
anomalies in natural populations. It includes a case study of the
discovery of one of the most severe global hotspots, including its
implication for environmental politics. A comprehensive terminology of
amphibian anomalies, including synonymies, and recommendations for the
study of anomalies in natural populations provide essential backgrounds
for understanding and planning studies on amphibian anomalies. The
volume is liberally illustrated with colour photos and facilitates
access to more than 1000 publications on amphibian anomalies. Großformat, 240 Seiten, 137 Farbfotos, 30 SW-Abbildungen, 25 Grafiken und 23 Tabellen |
