Book Overview

Batrachology is the study that helps to understand amphibian ecology and I do hope that this book would inspire a greater interest in this subject. This subject benefits the entire world in understanding the global bionetwork since amphibians are critically sensitive to changes in the environment. Amphibians can caution humanity if changes to the environment are critical. Over the previous years, dramatic amphibian declines have been attributed to change in the global climate. Decreases in amphibian populations or even in individual species are known to highlight imminent environmental hazards which may serve as a warning to humans because they are considered to be “canaries in coal mines”. Many amphibians are sensitive to even slight changes in the environment. Therefore, they are important indicator species that forewarn the possible spread of diseases that affect people and that often originate in other animals. Animalhuman interaction cannot be avoided.
