Anomalies in natural populations of amphibians: Methodology for field studies

Abstract

To be really efficient and conclusive, studies on the anomalies in natural populations of amphibians must be carried out in a perspective clearly centered on this topic rather than being a side product of works dealing with other questions. Recommendations are offered here on the methodology for such studies.

References
A list of references on these questions would occupy many pages and cannot be provided here. Such references are available in the volume on anomalies in natural populations of amphibians edited by K. Henle, A. Dubois and V. Vershinin and published in Mertensiella.
