This second volume in a multi-volume work deals with the social behaviour of amphibians. Examines topics such as parental care, attracting and competing for mates, and defending territories. Also discusses how these activities are affected by hormones, and how amphibian behaviour evolved. Includes references and an index. The series editor, Heatwole, has published widely in various fields of biology. His other publications include 'Sea Snakes' and 'Reptile Ecology'.
