Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book expands our understanding of Neotropical frog distribution and evolution. In it, the author analyzes variation in Neotropical frog morphology by combining field data collection with museum collections. This book examines which factors influence the distribution of various Neotropical frog species. It also explores relationships between body size, shape, and the environment, specifically the connection between them and precipitation gradient. Including 18 morphometric characters, this study is the first of its kind to examine the influence of aridity on the morphology of tropical frogs. Groundbreaking in its approach, this book provides the first quantitative analysis of the relationship between climate and frog species richness. Its findings provide a foundation for understanding the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of frog communities in the face of environmental change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
