Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Richard Kemp, after whom the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is named? Is Wake’s Gecko named after Berkeley’s Marvalee Wake? Or perhaps her husband, David? Why do so many snakes and lizards have Werner in their name? This reference book answers these and thousands of other questions about the origins of the vernacular and scientific names of reptiles across the globe. From Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti, the Florida cottonmouth subspecies named for Roger Conant, to Xantusia, the night lizard genera namesake of John Xantus, this dictionary covers everyone after whom an extant or recently extinct reptile has been named. The entries include a brief bio-sketch, a list of the reptiles that bear the individual’s name, the names of reptiles erroneously thought to be associated with the person, and a summary of major—and sometimes obscure or even incidental—contributions made by the person to herpetology and zoology. An introductory chapter explains how to use the book and describes the process of naming taxa. Easy to use and filled with addictive—and highly useful—information about the people whose names will be carried into the future on the backs of the world’s reptiles, The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles is a handy and fun book for professional and amateur herpetologists alike.

This book was released on 2005-01-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dictionary is a compilation of clear, concise and informative definitions of the characteristic vocabulary commonly encountered and used by herpetologists when discussing, reading, or writing about reptiles and amphibians. It is intended for all those who have an interest in these animals, from the amateur hobbyist who may find himself faced with what can be a rather intimidating scientific term or technical expression, to the trained zoologist who may sometimes have doubts over the exact meaning of a particular term. It will, it is hoped, not only be a useful source of reference to all who are either actively or passively involved in some aspects of herpetology whether they be keepers, curators, breeders, researchers, teachers or students, but an interesting read as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present title Biology of Reptiles has been designed to approach the morphology, anatomy, physiology and development of Reptiles in a coherent way since it is most natural for a student in studying the architectural elements of an animal body in the quest to know how they function. This text intends, therefore, to enable the student, through his own natural appetency, the student, through his own natural appetency, to correlate form and function so that he possesses for subsequent work in either anatomy or physiology a firm foundation for a real edifice of knowledge. The present work features a text reference and a laboratory guide. It deals with the structures and physiological phenomena of each system. Snakes, Living reptiles, Dinosaurs and other general topics are also dealt in details. It is hoped that this book will not only meet the requirement of students but will also be useful as a guideline to the teachers in their teaching. Contents: Survey of Reptiles, Appearance of Reptiles, Appearance of Dinosaurs, Living Reptiles, Aquatic Reptiles, Volant Reptiles, Viviparous Reptiles, Parental Care, Rulling Reptiles, Conservation of Reptiles, All About Snakes.
