Description

Midwife Toads The Genus Alytes: History, Ecology, Systematics, Captive Breeding, Edition Chimaira

by Christopher J Michaels, Jaime Bosch, Phillip A Jervis, Rafael Márquez, Gonçalo M Rosa

This beautifully illustrated volume explores the biology, behavior, and cultural significance of midwife toads—a unique group of anurans primarily found on the Iberian Peninsula. Known for their soft, bell-like calls and extraordinary paternal care, male Alytes carry eggs wrapped around their hind legs, tending them until they are ready to hatch—a rare phenomenon among European amphibians.

With their elusive nature and ventriloquial calls echoing through summer evenings, midwife toads capture the curiosity of both scientists and nature lovers. This book combines detailed natural history with stunning visuals to reveal their ecological roles, evolutionary traits, and conservation needs.

Features:

256 pages of expert insight

238 vivid color photographs

Color and b/w illustrations

Color distribution maps and 8 data tables

Covers behavior, reproduction, habitat, and cultural context

Ideal for herpetologists, naturalists, conservationists, and readers interested in amphibian life histories and unique reproductive strategies.
