Elle est basée sur des travaux d’inventaire de reptiles et d’amphibiens dans quelques massifs forestiers de la région septentrionale de l’île, essentiellement dans la région de Daraina (octobre 2002-mars 2003 ; octobre 2003-mars 2004). Ces inventaires ont été complétés par ceux entrepris dans la région d’Analamerana (janvier 2004), d’Andavakoera (février 2004), d’Ankarana (avril 2002) et de Marojejy (octobre 2001). Les travaux de terrains, et les travaux muséologiques qui s’en suivaient, ont été combinés à des études bibliographiques qui couvraient les caractéristiques géologiques, géographiques et biotiques des régions concernées. À son issu, ce travail a, en premier lieu, mis en évidence l’importance des massifs forestiers en mosaïques de Daraina et de l’ensemble de la région septentrionale de Madagascar dans le maintien de ses diversités en vertébrés terrestres malgré leurs superficies relativement modestes à l’échelle de ce pays. Par la suite, il a permis d’évaluer les effets de quelques facteurs majeurs sur

  • Quantifying the Conservation Value of Plantation Forests for a Madagascan Herpetofauna
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 14(1):269–287. Submitted: 6 March 2018; Accepted: 28 March 2019; Published: 30 April 2019. QUANTIFYING THE CONSERVATION VALUE OF PLANTATION FORESTS FOR A MADAGASCAN HERPETOFAUNA BETH EVANS Madagascar Research and Conservation Institute, Nosy Komba, Madagascar current address: 121 Heathway, Erith, Kent DA8 3LZ, UK, email: [email protected] Abstract.—Plantations are becoming a dominant component of the forest landscape of Madagascar, yet there is very little information available regarding the implications of different forms of plantation agriculture for Madagascan reptiles and amphibians. I determined the conservation value of bamboo, secondary, open-canopy plantation, and closed-canopy plantation forests for reptiles and amphibians on the island of Nosy Komba, in the Sambirano region of north-west Madagascar. Assistants and I conducted 220 Visual Encounter Surveys between 29 January 2016 and 5 July 2017 and recorded 3,113 reptiles (32 species) and 751 amphibians (nine species). Closed-canopy plantation supported levels of alpha diversity and community compositions reflective of natural forest, including several threatened and forest-specialist species. Open-canopy plantation exhibited diminished herpetofaunal diversity and a distinct community composition dominated by disturbance-resistant generalist species. Woody tree density and bamboo density were positively correlated with herpetofaunal species richness, and plantation species richness, plantation species density, sapling density, and the proportion of wood ground cover were negatively associated with herpetofaunal diversity. I recommend the integration of closed-canopy plantations on Nosy Komba, and across wider Madagascar, to help mitigate the negative effects of secondary forest conversion for agriculture on Madagascan herpetofauna; however, it will be necessary to retain areas of natural forest to act as sources of biodiversity for agroforestry plantations.

  • Ancestral Reconstruction of Diet and Fang Condition in the Lamprophiidae: Implications for the Evolution of Venom Systems in Snakes
    Journal of Herpetology, Vol. 55, No. 1, 1–10, 2021 Copyright 2021 Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles Ancestral Reconstruction of Diet and Fang Condition in the Lamprophiidae: Implications for the Evolution of Venom Systems in Snakes 1,2 1 1 HIRAL NAIK, MIMMIE M. KGADITSE, AND GRAHAM J. ALEXANDER 1School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. PO Wits, 2050, Gauteng, South Africa ABSTRACT.—The Colubroidea includes all venomous and some nonvenomous snakes, many of which have extraordinary dental morphology and functional capabilities. It has been proposed that the ancestral condition of the Colubroidea is venomous with tubular fangs. The venom system includes the production of venomous secretions by labial glands in the mouth and usually includes fangs for effective delivery of venom. Despite significant research on the evolution of the venom system in snakes, limited research exists on the driving forces for different fang and dental morphology at a broader phylogenetic scale. We assessed the patterns of fang and dental condition in the Lamprophiidae, a speciose family of advanced snakes within the Colubroidea, and we related fang and dental condition to diet. The Lamprophiidae is the only snake family that includes front-fanged, rear-fanged, and fangless species. We produced an ancestral reconstruction for the family and investigated the pattern of diet and fangs within the clade. We concluded that the ancestral lamprophiid was most likely rear-fanged and that the shift in dental morphology was associated with changes in diet. This pattern indicates that fang loss, and probably venom loss, has occurred multiple times within the Lamprophiidae.

ABSTRACT In 2013, Kaiser et. al. published in Herpetological Review a lengthy blog calling for other herpetologists not to use names formally proposed by myself (Raymond Hoser) and other herpetologists from the period 2000 onwards. This document (Kaiser et al. 2013), was a rehash of another, sent to herpetologists worldwide a year earlier (Kaiser 2012a and 2012b), which in 2012 Kaiser stated had been written by Wüster et al. (Kaiser 2012a). Both blogs were discredited in succession by Hoser (2012) and Hoser (2013). Kaiser et al. sought (and still seek) to step outside of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (“The Code”, “Zoological Rules” or “Zoological Code”) (Ride et al. 1999) and breach the three most important rules being: 1/ Homonymy (Principal 5, Article 52 and elsewhere), 2/ Priority (Principal 3, Article 23 and elsewhere), 3/ Stability (Principal 4, Articles 23, 65 and elsewhere), as well as the ethics of the Code (Appendix A) and numerous other sections of the document. Notwithstanding this, Kaiser (2014a) repeated many of his false claims and for the purposes of rebuttal, one need look no further than Hoser (2013). More recently Kaiser (2014b) proposed in an 11 page blog published in Herpetological Review that the ICZN should use their plenary powers to rule all Hoser names ever published (dating from 1998) as unavailable under the Zoological Code but in the absence of any proper formal submission.
