New access to Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles (CAAR)
The Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles (CAAR) consists of accounts of taxa prepared by specialists, including synonymy, description, diagnosis, phylogenetic relationships, published descriptions, illustrations, distribution map, and comprehensive list of literature for each taxon. Over 900 accounts have been published since the initiation of the series in 1963. The series covers amphibians and reptiles of the entire Western Hemisphere. Previously, accounts were published as loose-leaf separates; beginning in 2013 accounts are published as on-line PDFs. All accounts are open access and now are available for free download at the University of Texas Library Repository.
Call for SSAR Symposium Proposals @ JMIH
Symposia are important components of the Annual Meeting. They allow researchers in a given subfield to come together and present the latest research in that area; benefit society members through interactions with symposium participants; and can result in proceedings, books, or special topic section in the Journal of Herpetology. We invite the submission of symposium proposals for SSAR at the 2018 Annual Joint Meetings of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. The deadline for electronic submission has been extended to March 17, 2017. See the SSAR website (https://ssarherps.org/meetings/symposium-proposals/) for submission guidelines.
Journal of Herpetology seeking volunteers for help with second language abstracts
Journal of Herpetology publishes second language abstracts in all languages. We seek students (or interested professionals) who are fluent in languages other than English and Spanish to assist the editors in verifying the second language abstracts. We would like to build a list of herpetologists who would be willing to perform this service for every language. This would only require a few minutes of your time and would be a great help to the editors. If you are willing to volunteer, please email Co-Editor Tiffany Doan stating your contact information and the languages in which you have fluency.
Journal of Herpetology now featuring continuous publication
We are excited to announce that Journal of Herpetology has begun continuous publication, where articles are published officially online shortly after they are accepted.
