Frogs with extra limbs or digits, missing limbs or digits, or misaligned appendages raise an alarming question: "Are deformed humans next?" Taking a fresh look at this disturbing environmental problem, this reference provides a balanced overview of the science behind the malformed frog phenomenon. Bringing together data from ecology, parasitology, and other disciplines, Michael Lannoo considers the possible causes of these deformities, tells which frogs have been affected, and addresses questions about what these malformations might mean to human populations. Featuring high-quality radiographic images, Malformed Frogs suggests that our focus should be on finding practical solutions, a key component of which will be controlling chemical, nutrient, and pesticide runoff into wetlands. 606 $aFrogs$xResearch 606 $aFrogs$xAbnormalities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrogs$xResearch. 615 0$aFrogs$xAbnormalities. 676 $a571.9/51789 700 $aLannoo$b Michael, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01043515 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454205003321 996 $aMalformed Frogs$92468538 997 $aUNINA
