In all instances the specialists who undertook the introductory surveys (Dr Niels Jacobsen for mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plants and Dr Warwick Tarboton for birds) were hamstrung firstly by al lack of time and secondly by the fact that the surveys were undertaken in mid- winter. Some species are also still in the process of being identified. A species list was not compiled for fresh water organisms, although reference is made in the text (see Volume 2 and the specialist report in Volume 4) to the species that were encountered and identified. The same applies to marine species, although extensive reference is made to those species that were identified on an incidental basis by the marine specialist (Prof Mike Bruton; refer to Volume 2 and the specialist report in Volume 4).

    British Herpetological Society Bulletin, No. 21, 1987. MORE OF THE HERPETOFAUNA IN THE COMMONWEALTH (ETHIOPIAN ZONE) M. R. K. LAMBERT (Chairman, BHS) This article has been developed from some slides shown at the end of the 39th AGM on March 18th 1986 The African Continent and Indian Ocean Islands include several Commonwealth countries (listed in full in the 118th (1986) Edition of Whitaker's Almanack) and constitute zoogeographically the Ethiopian zone. Darlington (1757) defined the Ethiopian zone as Africa, less its north-western corner, and optionally southern Arabia. However, many Western Palaearctic species penetrate northern Africa so that the Sahara Desert, stradling the boundary of the two zones, in effect forms a barrier to faunal exchange, but with the Nile Valley as an escape valve for some subSaharan, Ethiopian forms to extend northwards. Apart from a private first visit to the Seychelles Islands and neighbouring Africa in 1970, HMG's Overseas Development Administration (ODA) has provided me with the opportunity since 1977 to visit several of the countries of eastern and southern Africa, primarily to investigate the biology contributing to the control of several insect crop pests. As at the 38th AGM of the BHS in 1985 (Lambert, 1985), slides shown hopefully gave an idea of the range of amphibians and reptiles that one might casually observe during cursory inspections of their habitats and, without undue skill or expertise, have the chance to photograph. The herpetology in general of the countries visited is also considered here. INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS Seychelles (October 1970) The Seychelles became an independent mmember of the Commonwealth in 1976.

  • First Reported Case of Thrombocytopenia from a Heterodon Nasicus Envenomation T
    Toxicon 157 (2019) 12–17 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Toxicon journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/toxicon Case report First reported case of thrombocytopenia from a Heterodon nasicus envenomation T ∗ Nicklaus Brandehoffa,c, , Cara F. Smithb, Jennie A. Buchanana, Stephen P. Mackessyb, Caitlin F. Bonneya a Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center – Denver Health and Hospital Authority, Denver, CO, USA b School of Biological Sciences, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO, USA c University of California, San Francisco-Fresno, Fresno, CA, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Context: The vast majority of the 2.5 million annual worldwide venomous snakebites are attributed to Viperidae Envenomation or Elapidae envenomations. Of the nearly 2000 Colubridae species described, only a handful are known to cause Colubridae medically significant envenomations. Considered medically insignificant, Heterodon nasicus (Western Hognose Heterodon nasicus Snake) is a North American rear-fanged colubrid common in the legal pet trading industry. Previously reported cases of envenomations describe local pain, swelling, edema, and blistering. However, there are no reported cases of systemic or hematologic toxicity. Case details: A 20-year-old female sustained a bite while feeding a captive H. nasicus causing local symptoms and thrombocytopenia. On day three after envenomation, the patient was seen in the emergency department for persistent pain, swelling, and blistering. At that time, she was found to have a platelet count of 90 × 109/L. Previous routine platelet counts ranged from 315 to 373 × 109/L during the prior two years. Local symptoms peaked on day seven post envenomation. Her local symptoms and thrombocytopenia improved on evaluation four months after envenomation.

  • The Herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and Lower Cuando River Catchments of South-Eastern Angola
    Official journal website: Amphibian & Reptile Conservation amphibian-reptile-conservation.org 10(2) [Special Section]: 6–36 (e126). The herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and lower Cuando river catchments of south-eastern Angola 1,2,*Werner Conradie, 2Roger Bills, and 1,3William R. Branch 1Port Elizabeth Museum (Bayworld), P.O. Box 13147, Humewood 6013, SOUTH AFRICA 2South African Institute for Aquatic Bio- diversity, P/Bag 1015, Grahamstown 6140, SOUTH AFRICA 3Research Associate, Department of Zoology, P O Box 77000, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth 6031, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract.—Angola’s herpetofauna has been neglected for many years, but recent surveys have revealed unknown diversity and a consequent increase in the number of species recorded for the country. Most historical Angola surveys focused on the north-eastern and south-western parts of the country, with the south-east, now comprising the Kuando-Kubango Province, neglected. To address this gap a series of rapid biodiversity surveys of the upper Cubango-Okavango basin were conducted from 2012‒2015. This report presents the results of these surveys, together with a herpetological checklist of current and historical records for the Angolan drainage of the Cubango, Cuito, and Cuando Rivers. In summary 111 species are known from the region, comprising 38 snakes, 32 lizards, five chelonians, a single crocodile and 34 amphibians. The Cubango is the most western catchment and has the greatest herpetofaunal diversity (54 species). This is a reflection of both its easier access, and thus greatest number of historical records, and also the greater habitat and topographical diversity associated with the rocky headwaters.

    Mapping the Global Emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Deanna H. Olson, David M. Aanensen, Kathryn L. Ronnenberg, Christopher I. Powell, Susan F. Walker, Jon Bielby, Trenton W. J. Garner, George Weaver, the Bd Mapping Group, and Matthew C. Fisher Supplemental Information Taxonomic Notes Genera were assigned to families for summarization (Table 1 in main text) and analysis (Table 2 in main text) based on the most recent available comprehensive taxonomic references (Frost et al. 2006, Frost 2008, Frost 2009, Frost 2011). We chose recent family designations to explore patterns of Bd susceptibility and occurrence because these classifications were based on both genetic and morphological data, and hence may more likely yield meaningful inference. Some North American species were assigned to genus according to Crother (2008), and dendrobatid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Grant et al. (2006). Eleutherodactylid frogs were assigned to family and genus based on Hedges et al. (2008); centrolenid frogs based on Cisneros-Heredia et al. (2007). For the eleutherodactylid frogs of Central and South America and the Caribbean, older sources count them among the Leptodactylidae, whereas Frost et al. (2006) put them in the family Brachycephalidae. More recent work (Heinicke et al. 2007) suggests that most of the genera that were once “Eleutherodactylus” (including those species currently assigned to the genera Eleutherodactylus, Craugastor, Euhyas, Phrynopus, and Pristimantis and assorted others), may belong in a separate, or even several different new families. Subsequent work (Hedges et al. 2008) has divided them among three families, the Craugastoridae, the Eleutherodactylidae, and the Strabomantidae, which were used in our classification.
