Added as a separate page 10 April 2008. Last updated 15 May 2022 with articles from RJH 16(1) and 16(3).
The following is a guide to articles relating to the above frogs and toads that have appeared within herpetological magazines within the last few years. It is an ongoing project, ie I am effectively cataloguing these entries myself from the actual magazines, some of which are harder to get hold of than others (especially when they are no longer being published!). I hope however that some people will find it useful, especially if researching a single species or looking for some care guidance.
