1. Herpetology - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
   herpetology is concerned with poikilothermic, or coldblooded, tetrapods. Herps include reptiles and amphibians, but exclude fish.  
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpetology
   
   Extractions: 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 reptiles and amphibians . Many biologists use the term " herp " or "herptiles" for all reptiles and amphibians. Herpetology is concerned with poikilothermic, or cold-blooded , 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. The most prestigious herpetology societies is an example of this - the American Society for Ichthyology and Herpetology. 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

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?

The lecture component consists of three areas: (1) Systematics, Biogeography, and Genetics, (2) Population and Community Ecology, and (3) Behavior and Physiology. The lab component covers morphology, diversity, and taxonomy with emphasis on the local fauna. Field trips are included. Philosophy: Read our manifesto about teaching herpetology, posted on the Pianka lab web site. Texts: Conant and Collins' A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America (1992, Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston) is strongly recommended for use in lab and during field trips; this is available in the University Coop and at various bookstores.

The two groups of animals are only distantly related but have traditionally been placed together as a research discipline, particularly in museums. The herpetology collection of the Australian Museum is extensive and broadly based, and includes a number of specimens of historical significance. Research at the Museum in recent years has focused on lizards, the richest and most diverse group of reptiles in Australia. Scientific information and oversight was provided for Herpetology by Ross Sadlier and Allen Greer.

Get into Action Herpetology Northwest really believes in the importance of preserving the habitats of the Northwest reptiles and amphibians. The only way this is possible is through education at all levels. It is our responsibility to observe, study and learn about all species that reside in the northwest! Through our own education and understanding the more we can do to educate others to guarantee a healthy future for all species. If we don't take action now, we are going to pay the ultimate price.
