Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Professor Tim Halliday is an evolutionary biologist, primarily interested in amphibians. His initial focus was on the sexual behaviour of amphibians, but has become increasingly interested in their life histories and ecology. For the last twelve years he has led an international initiative to investigate why amphibians are in severe decline throughout the world. Tim has published numerous research publications, and has contributed materials to a number of previous Open University course texts.
