Media reviews
This book is more than a reference for those working with Xenopus in the laboratory. Anyone seriously interested in amphibian biology will want a copy, and many of the chapters will interest researchers from a wide range of biological disciplines.--The Quarterly Review of Biology
"It is a wonderful monograph on a fascinating group of frogs, where every chapter manages to amaze the reader with a (thus far mostly unknown) remarkable aspect of Xenopus biology; there seems to be no end to the wonders of this animal" --Hydrobiologia
"Excellent reference for researchers working with the African Clawed Frog in the laboratory, as well as for hobbyist frog keepers."--Reptile & Amphibian Magazine
