Periodical Index - African Reed, Shovel-Nosed and Sub-Saharan Frogs

A guide to articles appearing in herpetogical periodicals over the past few years



The following is a guide to anuran-related articles 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.

The Families Hyperoliidae and Hemisotidae are so far covered by this index. Artholeptidae are now placed in their own index.
