Periodical Index - Microhylid Frogs & Toads

A guide to narrow-mouthed frog- and toad articles appearing in herpetogical periodicals over the past few years

The following is a guide to microhylid-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.

Key

AMP Amphibia German publication from the DGHT: focuses on captive husbandry and reproduction of amphibians. May now have been split into two separate magazines.

D Draco Quarterly herpetological magazine from the German Natur und Tier Verlag that usually focuses on a theme, eg agamid lizards or desert herpetofauna

E Elaphe German publication from the DGHT: focuses on captive husbandry and reproduction of reptiles and amphibians.

IR International Reptilian European magazine, published in UK. It may alternatively be known as the Reptilian, but we have kept the IR abbreviation to distinguish it from Reptilia and Reptiles.

PPS:A Practical Pets Series: Amphibians Compilation of amphibian-related articles from Practical Reptile Keeping, published February 2013.

PRK Practical Reptile Keeping UK magazine first appearing in 2009, edited by David Alderton. Like most magazines with "Reptile" in the title, also covers amphibians and invertebrates.

R Reptilia High-quality European magazine, published in Spain but produced in English, German and Spanish. English- and Spanish-language versions suspended indefinitely in October 2012.

R&A Reptile & Amphibian Magazine Now sadly defunct, although back copies may be available at herp exhibitions, etc. For some years this was practically the only herp magazine for most non-scientific folk.

R&AH Reptile & Amphibian Hobbyist Formed out of the merger of Reptile Hobbyist and Reptile & Amphibian Magazine: last issue November 2001

RH Reptile Hobbyist US magazine published by TFH. Merged with R&A to become R&AH (see above).

Rs Reptiles US magazine which bought out Vivarium. Despite the title, covers amphibians and invertebrates too.

S Salamandra German magazine published by the DGHT (German Herptological Association) in English and German. The DGHT also publishes magazines for each of their specialist groups, eg Radiata (tortoises), die Eidechse (lacertid lizards), etc. From 2005 Salamandra was published in both English and German. From 2010 the German edition may no longer be published.
