INTRODUCTION The following alphabetical listing of these three Florida publications by author (s) covers all the papers dealing with amphibians and reptiles that have appeared in these publications. The Florida Academy of Sciences was originally published as Proceedingss through volume 7. Volumes 1-5 appeared as one number a year with 6-7 becomming guarterly. Volume 6 numbers 1-2 were not numbered consecutively but number three picked up page numbering as if numbers 1-2 were. Volumes 8-35 had the name changed to the Quarterly Journal of the Florida Academy of Sciences. Volume 36 to the present became Florida Scientist. All titles from the three different names are listed together as for all practical purposes they are the same. Supplements were issued for some volumes which consists of the program and abstracts for the yearly meetings. Articles from the supplements are identified by an :Abs. after the title. Titles by name only are not listed. The Florida Field Naturalist had volumes 1-8 published twice yearly and 9-20 quarterly. The Florida Naturalist is the organ of the Florida Audubon Society and consisted of six numbers a year beginning in October, 1927 until volume 53 when it became a quarterly. All junior authors are listed and cross referenced to the senior author. All articles with original names are preceded by an * (asterisk) All scientific names of amphibians and reptiles are listed alphabetically and referenced to the numbered article(s) they appear in numerical order. The Florida Academy of Sciences are just numbered from 1-198. The Florida Field Naturalist has the prefix F followed by numbers from 199-225. The Florida Naturalist has the prefix N fillowed by numbers 226-326. No names in bibliographies are listed. All original spellings are maintained. Those ending i or ii, if both are used, is given with ii. All original names are given in bold. The author wishes to thank C. Cans for suggesting this project and for suggesting the addition of the scientific name index G. R. Zug and W. R. Heyer. D. L. Auth checked and furnished photocopies of several missing numbers that were not available to me. FLORIDA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 1. Allen, E. Ross. 1938.

  • (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.

  • 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.

A possible adaptive hypothesis for melanism in animals, including snakes, whether it functions in snakes is protection against sun damage (Lorioux et al., camouflage, warning, mimicry, or thermoregulation 2008; Jablonski and Kautman, 2017).

  • 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.
