As of 30 June 1999, he authored or co-authored 1367 publications covering a range of scholarly and popular papers dealing with such diverse subjects as taxonomy, life history, geographical distribution, checklists, nomenclatural problems, bibliographies, herpetological coins, anatomy, comparative anatomy textbooks, pet books, book reviews, abstracts, encyclopedia entries, prefaces and forwords as well as updating volumes being repnnted. The checklists of the herpetofauna of Mexico authored with Dr. Edward H. Taylor are legendary as is the Synopsis of the Herpetofalhva of Mexico coauthored with his late wife, Rozella B. -
Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

I0024 NUMBER 2450 FEBRUARY II, I971 Karyotypes of the Five Monotypic Species Groups of Lizards in the Genus Sceloporus BY CHARLES J. COLE INTRODUCTION Smith (1939) recognized 15 species groups in the large iguanid genus Sceloporus, which includes approximately 60 species. From one to 11 species are assigned to each group on the basis of relationships inferred from traits of external morphology. Five species of Sceloporus (some of them polytypic) are each sufficiently distinctive in external morphology to warrant assignment to monotypic species groups, implying that these five species appear to have no particularly close relatives extant. The present cytological investigation was undertaken to determine whether the karyo- types of these monotypic species groups are consistent with the data on external morphology, and whether the karyotypes suggest evolutionary relationships of these groups. The five species of Sceloporus that each comprise a monotypic group are: Sceloporus chrysostictus Cope, S. graciosus Baird and Girard, S. maculosus Smith, S. merriami Stejneger, and S. utiformis Cope. Each group is named for the species comprising it. My analysis of karyotypes from individuals of both sexes of each of these species forms the basis of the present report.

Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation. -
Microdesmidae)
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 70(1): 33–39, 2002 TAXONOMY AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF MICRODESMUS CARRI GILBERT (MICRODESMIDAE) Felipe Amaya, Arturo Acero P. and María M. Criales ABSTRACT This contribution describes juvenile specimens of the cienaga wormfish Microdesmus carri (Microdesmidae) collected at the entrance of the estuarine lagoon Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta on the Colombian Caribbean. This is the first report of M. carri for South American waters and the third of the species since it was originally described from the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and later reported for Belize and the Gulf of Mexico. Meristic and morphometric data of the Colombian material are similar to those described for Costa Rica but differences from the Belize and Gulf of Mexico material were found in the fin counts. The species is considered here a southern Caribbean endemic, whose distribution may be explained by geological and oceanographic factors. The gobioid fish family Microdesmidae is widespread in marine tropical waters and includes two subfamilies: Microdesminae (wormfishes) and Ptereleotrinae (dartfishes or firefishes) (Nelson, 1994). However, Thacker (2000) excluded the dartfishes from the Microdesmidae. Wormfishes burrow in soft muddy and sandy bottoms in shelf ecosys- tems from coral reefs to estuaries and from tidepools to about 40 m depth (Robins et al., 1986; Nelson, 1994). Seven species of wormfishes have been described for the western Atlantic, two in the genus Cerdale (C. fasciata and C. floridana) (Dawson, 1974) and five in the genus Microdesmus (M. bahianus, M. lanceolatus, M. longipinnis, M. lucus and M. carri) (Gilbert, 1966; Dawson, 1977). The only wormfish previously recorded from the Colombian Caribbean is C. -

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch. -

Competition and distribution model predictions vary based on dominance hierarchies, but most assume differences in dominance are constant across habitats. More recent evidence suggests dominance and competitive advantages may vary based on habitat. We quantified dominance interactions between two species of sharks Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos and Carcharhinus melanopterus, across two different habitats, fore reef and back reef, at a remote Pacific atoll. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to observe dominance behaviors and quantified the number of aggressive interactions or bites to the BRUVs from either species, both separately and in the presence of one another. Blacktip reef sharks were the most abundant species in either habitat, and there was significant negative correlation between their relative abundance, bites on BRUVs, and the number of grey reef sharks. Although this trend was found in both habitats, the decline in blacktip abundance with grey reef shark presence was far more pronounced in fore reef habitats. We show that the presence of one shark species may limit the feeding opportunities of another, but the extent of this relationship is habitat specific. Future competition models should consider habitat-specific dominance or competitive interactions. -

Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft. -
