Smithsonian Herpetological Information Servi Ce No « .^•* ISUiWD/LISTS CZ? OF WEST INDIAN AKiPHIBIANS AND REPTILES D WILLIAM ?. MACLEAN, RICHARD KELLNER S HOWARD DENNIS COLLEGE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS 00801 i SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVI CE NO. 40 1977 Division of Reptiles i Amphibians National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2056O INTRODUCTION The West Indian reptiles and amphibians are popular subjects of various kinds of biological research. These investigations will benefit greatly from Schwartz and Thomas' (1975) recent checklist, the first taxonomic summary in several decades. The present lists, which started as an ecology class project at the College of the Virgin Islands, are largely a compilation of Schwartz and Thomas' locality records. Our lists are useful in themselves, serve as a geographical index to Schwartz and Thomas, and should encourage more complete documentation of distributions. 627 islands are listed, some without records of reptiles or amphibians. Areas and maximum elevations are given vrtierever available. We have included everything that has a name, could support terrestrial vertebrates, and was not obviously a rock periodically awash. Even so, the list is far from complete. We have included the islands off the South and Central American coasts, many of which have more or less West Indian faunae and which are frequented by students of Antillean biota. Records from these islands are mostly from sources other than Schwartz and Thomas, as are a few in the Antilles proper. All such records are footnoted. We have not identified introduced species. Any student of these animals will immediately recognize the obvious introductions and will have personal opinions concerning the many nebulous cases. We did not wish to express our opinions without discussion. The neophyte is referred to Schwartz and Thomas (1975) for their opinions. It is likely that considerable locality data exist which are not included in these lists. We invite anyone having additions or corrections to send them to us. If there is sufficient response, a second edition will be published. New records could be incorporated in subsequent editions, avoiding the diffuse, one county at a time pattern typical of North American herpetology. We will be glad to list collaborators as co-authors of the edition to which they contribute.

  • (2007) a Photographic Field Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians Of
    A Photographic Field Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of Dominica, West Indies Kristen Alexander Texas A&M University Dominica Study Abroad 2007 Dr. James Woolley Dr. Robert Wharton Abstract: A photographic reference is provided to the 21 reptiles and 4 amphibians reported from the island of Dominica. Descriptions and distribution data are provided for each species observed during this study. For those species that were not captured, a brief description compiled from various sources is included. Introduction: The island of Dominica is located in the Lesser Antilles and is one of the largest Eastern Caribbean islands at 45 km long and 16 km at its widest point (Malhotra and Thorpe, 1999). It is very mountainous which results in extremely varied distribution of habitats on the island ranging from elfin forest in the highest elevations, to rainforest in the mountains, to dry forest near the coast. The greatest density of reptiles is known to occur in these dry coastal areas (Evans and James, 1997). Dominica is home to 4 amphibian species and 21 (previously 20) reptile species. Five of these are endemic to the Lesser Antilles and 4 are endemic to the island of Dominica itself (Evans and James, 1997). The addition of Anolis cristatellus to species lists of Dominica has made many guides and species lists outdated. Evans and James (1997) provides a brief description of many of the species and their habitats, but this booklet is inadequate for easy, accurate identification. Previous student projects have documented the reptiles and amphibians of Dominica (Quick, 2001), but there is no good source for students to refer to for identification of these species.

  • Testing Sustainable Forestry Methods in Puerto Rico
    Herpetology Notes, volume 8: 141-148 (2015) (published online on 10 April 2015) Testing sustainable forestry methods in Puerto Rico: Does the presence of the introduced timber tree Blue Mahoe, Talipariti elatum, affect the abundance of Anolis gundlachi? Norman Greenhawk Abstract. The island of Puerto Rico has one of the highest rates of regrowth of secondary forests largely due to abandonment of previously agricultural land. The study was aimed at determining the impact of the presence of Talipariti elatum, a timber species planted for forest enrichment, on the abundance of anoles at Las Casas de la Selva, a sustainable forestry project located in Patillas, Puerto Rico. The trees planted around 25 years ago are fast-growing and now dominate canopies where they were planted. Two areas, a control area of second-growth forest without T. elatum and an area within the T. elatum plantation, were surveyed over an 18 month period. The null hypothesis that anole abundance within the study areas is independent of the presence of T. elatum could not be rejected. The findings of this study may have implications when designing forest management practices where maintaining biodiversity is a goal. Keywords. Anolis gundlachi, Anolis stratulus, Puerto Rican herpetofauna, introduced species, forestry Introduction The secondary growth forest represents a significant resource base for the people of Puerto Rico, and, if At the time of Spanish colonization in 1508, nearly managed properly, an increase in suitable habitat one hundred percent of Puerto Rico was covered in for forest-dwelling herpetofauna. Depending on the forest (Wadsworth, 1950). As a result of forest clearing management methods used, human-altered agro- for agricultural and pastureland, ship building, and fuel forestry plantations have potential conservation wood, approximately one percent of the land surface value (Wunderle, 1999).
