Abstract:

The herpetology collection of the Ewha Womans University Natural History Museum (EWNHM) represents one of the oldest and largest institutional collections in the Republic of Korea. The specimens deposited in the EWNHM represent a major historical collection of the native herpetofauna, both in species diversity and time span. However, the full inventory of the herpetology collection has never been conducted and thus the collection has received little attention from researchers. Here, the first full account of the herpetology specimens held at the EWNHM is provided, with voucher information for

Dugès proposed 41 taxonomic names in herpetology. One of these names was considered a nomen nudum by Smith and Smith (1969), 10 were erected for new genera, two for new subgenera, 24 for new species, and four for new subspecies. Five names — t

Abstract:

Arend Friedrich August Wiegmann (1802–1841), who was based at Zoologisches Museum in Berlin, is most closely associated with Mexican herpetology through his publication of Herpetologia Mexicana (1834). However, he also made substantial contributions to the study of reptiles and amphibians of other regions, particularly South America and Asia. These were based on collections made by Franz Julius Ferdinand Meyen (1804–1840) on a journey around the world during 1830–1832 and were published as the “Amphibien” section of Meyen's Reise um die Erde.

The Venezuelan forest pitviper (Bothrops medusa) is an endangered viperid endemic to the central range of the Cordillera de la Costa in Venezuela. Little is known regarding its natural history. We examined the stomach contents of museum specimens housed in the University of Illinois Museum of Natural History Herpetology Collection and report the first prey items for the species. The arboreal habits of both prey items support the notion that B. medusa may be semi-arboreal. This exposes the need for further studies on this rare viperid and showcases the value of natural history collections for s

Northwestern South America harbors one of the richest herpetofauna in the world.

Motivated by this, the Herpetological Museum at the Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia) has been increasing the collection in the last 16 years to better understand the h

Abstract Knowledge concerning the taxonomy and biology of species of Acanthocephala, helminth parasites of the helminth species of the phylum Acanthocephala, parasites of lizards in Brazilian Amazonia, is still insufficient, but reports of Acanthocephala in reptiles are becoming increasingly common in the literature. Cystacanth-stage Acanthocephalan larvae have been found in the visceral peritoneum during necropsy of Ameiva ameiva ameivalizards from the “Osvaldo Rodrigues da Cunha” Herpetology Collection of the Emílio Goeldi Museum, Belém, Pará, Brazil.

As part of an investigation into the status of the near threatened Gotland grass snake, Natrix natrix gotlandica Nilson & Andrén, 1981, endemic to the island of Gotland, we discovered that Linnaeus’ type series of the common grass snake, Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758), is comprised of specimens from three different currently recognized species. To stabilize the usage of the name Coluber natrix, we investigate Linnaeus’ type series, and a specimen which Linnaeus in 1741 examined west of the Swedish city of Nyköping is designated lectotype.

The rainfrogs of the genus Pristimantis are one of the most diverse groups of vertebrates, with outstanding reproductive modes and strategies driving their success in colonizing new habitats. The rate of Pristimantis species discovered annually has increased continuously during the last 50 years, establishing the remarkable diversity found in this genus. In this paper the specifics of publications describing new species in the group are examined, including authorship, author gender, year, language, journal, scientific collections, and other details.

The natural history collection of the Bolognese polymath, encyclopedist, and natural philosopher Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) is regarded as the first museum in the modern sense of the term. It was intended as a resource for scholarship and a microcosm of the natural world, not simply a cabinet of curiosities. In addition to physical specimens, Aldrovandi’s zoological material included a large series of paintings of animals (Tavole di Animali) that were integral to the collection. Following Aldrovandi’s death, his collection was maintained by the terms of his will, but by the 19th century rel

The genus comprises six nominal species and three subspecies; however, the phylogenetic hypothesis of this group and the taxonomical status of several taxa remain unresolved. Among these species, <i>Ichnotropis microlepidota</i> stands out, as it is only known from the type series since its discovery in the 1950s in the crop of a Chanting Goshawk in Mount Moco, in the central highlands of Angola.

Abstract Natural history specimens are a widely used and valuable resource for conservation, ecology, and evolutionary biology. One might assume that these collections are representative of natural populations, but recent work has suggested that many collections have disproportionately more male than female specimens. Here, we investigate sex ratios in &gt; 5 000 000 amphibian and reptile specimen records from global natural history collections. We found a slight bias towards males in amphibians (39% females) and reptiles (47% females), but this varied among orders and families. Body size,
