Selected readings

There are many published research articles on the amphibians of Borneo and potentially useful literature with broader scope. In this section we recommend some. This is a very subjective list and you may want to expand that list by your own literature reseach. This section is not meant to give a complete compilation of contemporary literature on the frogs of Borneo.
