History pre-Darwin post-Darwin view talk ... edit Herpetology (from Greek herpeton , "creeping animal" and λόγος, logos , "knowledge") is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians and reptiles . Many biologists use the term " herp " or "herptiles" for all reptiles and amphibians. Herpetology is concerned with poikilothermic, or ectothermic , tetrapods. "Herps" include reptiles and amphibians , but exclude fish. However, it is not uncommon for herpetological and ichthyological scientific societies to "team up", publishing joint journals and holding joint conferences in order to foster the exchange of ideas between the fields. One of the most prestigious organizations, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists , is an example of this. Herpetology offers benefits to humanity in the study of the role of amphibians and reptiles in global ecology , especially because amphibians are often very sensitive to environmental changes, offering a visible warning to humans that significant changes are taking place. Some toxins and venoms produced by reptiles and amphibians are useful in human medicine. Currently, some snake venom has been used to create

Printer friendly version CAREERS IN HERPETOLOGY Herpetology is the study of amphibians and reptiles. There are many exciting and rewarding career choices for people interested in herpetology. All herpetologists are first biologists, with a good knowledge of general biology, who have a specialized knowledge of amphibians and reptiles. Herpetologists include people with advanced academic degrees, non-scientists who work with amphibians and reptiles for a living, and people who pursue herpetology as an avocation. All herpetologist share two traits: (a) a strong interest in one or more kinds of amphibians and reptiles, and (b) the persistence and determination necessary to be successful at doing what they want to do. Unfortunately, there are not many jobs directly related to herpetology, and even a well-trained individual may find it necessary to accept a position removed from his or her prime area of interest. The following sections outline some of the major career directions and the training necessary to pursue them. WHAT DO HERPETOLOGISTS DO?

Acanthal ridges Ridges (with light lines) extending from the eyes to the nostrils in members of the species Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (spring salamanders). Anal plate The scale or scales directly covering the cloaca of a snake. This plate may be single (one scale) or divided along the mid-line into two scales. Bridge The part of the shell between the front and hind legs connecting the upper and lower halves of the shell. Carapace The upper half of a turtle shell. Costal grooves The grooves present along the sides of the bodies of many salamanders. When counting them for identification purposes, include only those between the front legs and the hind legs. Dorsolateral ridge Lines or folds of skin (usually gold colored) along the upper sides of some frogs in the family Ranidae. Intercalary cartilage An extra piece of cartilage in the toes of members of the Hylidae (tree frog) family. It causes the end of the toes to have a "stepped-down" appearance.

BRCC Herpetology Collections Research Activities ... Rattlesnakes! Herpetology The Department of Herpetology focuses on the study of amphibians and reptiles. Resources are available to scientists to help better understand amphibian and reptile biology and conserve species when their existence is threatened. The great diversity of amphibian and reptile species is preserved for scientific research in the form of alcohol-preserved and skeletal specimens. The herpetology collection holds over 70,000 catalogued individuals dating back to the 1890s. Over 57% of the collection comes from California and Baja California, making it one of the largest resources for this area. The collection is well represented with specimens from throughout the southwest United States, northwest Mexico, and islands worldwide. All cataloged specimens are computer databased which allows for any combination of taxonomic and geographic records to be searched. We are supported, in part, by the Laurence M. and Grace G. Klauber Endowment for Herpetology. The Curator is Bradford Hollingsworth, Ph.D. Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers are needed. Get experience with various aspects of herpetological research, collections care, databasing, literature compilation, and natural history. Immediate help is needed to complete the ongoing renovation of the collection. In the process, volunteers gain valuable experience in the identification of amphibian and reptile species, learning geographic distributions, and getting exposure to the science of systematics. Anyone interested in helping in this or any other department should talk to our Director of Volunteers at 619.255.0245.

Herpetology Lab PAGES The Pauley Profile WV Biological Survey Museum ... turtles BACKGROUND Herpetology at Marshall began in the 1930's under the direction of Dr. N. Bayard Green. Since then, herpetology in WV has become widely known and studied due to the rich diversity of amphibians and reptiles in the region. Of the group, salamanders are the most diverse, with 34 species in the area. Dr. Thomas K. Pauley has conducted numerous herpetological studies since the 1960's, focusing on research in WV. This site is designed to provide information about the herpetofauna in WV and the field studies and research of Dr. Pauley and his graduate students.
