Morphological variation of Ridged Frogs of the Taita Hills, Kenya
(Firenze University Press, 2011-12)
Comparing of morphological character variation within taxa continues to
play an important role in improving species inventories. Using morphometrical and
non-meristic morphological adult characters, the diversity of the ...
