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 includes toads which some authorities now allocate to a separate family, the Megophryidae or Asian Toads. Also some South American species may be referred to as Bufo in some accounts and Chaunus in others. We have listed them usually as described in the article, but the reader should be aware of their synonymity (ie they are usually one and the same thing!).
