Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author gives a detailed examination of the systematic relationships and intriguing biology of Hemiphractus, a genus of strange and rare horned frogs known for their bizarre appearance and unusual behaviors. Despite being known for over 150 years, only around 200 preserved specimens are known to exist, most of which have been found within the last eight years due to extensive fieldwork in remote, undisturbed cloud and tropical rainforests. Historically, these frogs have faced constant taxonomic debate since their initial discovery, and their morphological peculiarities have been widely misinterpreted. The author aims to clarify their taxonomic status, define the genus, identify the species that belong to it, and discuss the phylogenetic history of the genus. They also explore potential intergeneric relationships and provide a thorough analysis of the genus's characters, which are vital for understanding its systematic position. This in-depth study provides valuable insights into the intriguing and unique world of Hemiphractus, expanding our knowledge of these enigmatic amphibians. It's a significant contribution to the field of herpetology, shedding light on a group of unusual frogs that have long fascinated scientists and nature enthusiasts alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282056681_0
