Periodical Index - Megophryid Frogs/Toads

A guide to bufonid (toad) 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.

This index covers toads and frogs of the Megophryidae or so-called Asian Toads, some of which (notably Megophrys) have become reasonably popular in the terarium hobby.
