FIGURE 7. L.A. Lantz received many specimens from his Russian colleague G.F in Additional data on the herpetological collection of Louis Amédée Lantz (1886 - 1953), with emphasis on specimens in the Natural History Museum, London
FIGURE 7. L.A. Lantz received many specimens from his Russian colleague G.F. Sukhov like this Darevskia caucasica from Georgia that he later deposited in the Natural History Museum collections (BMNH 1966.765).

FIGURE 3. Rascas Islet was visited by L.A. Lantz in April 1931. That islet is located 170 meters from Port-Cros Island in the Hyères Islands Archipelago (also sometimes called the Porquerolles Islands). It is one of the smallest Mediterranean islets (0.45 ha) and is host to two species of lizard; the European Leaf-toed Gecko (Euleptes europaea) and the Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis (Laurenti)). Lantz collected five Wall lizards and one European Leaf-toed Gecko but they were never published (Lantz 1931).

FIGURE 2. Podarcis muralis. This specimen (BMNH 1966.708) was collected by L.A. Lantz (27 April 1933) on Rascas Rock, a very small island north of Port-Cros Island, France.

NMNH Herpetology: NMNH Herpetology (343) in DwC-A
The Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, houses and maintains the largest herpetology collection in the world with over 580,000 specimens. Our collection, comprised primarily of fluid preserved specimens, includes about 63% of the approximately 15,000 known species of the world__s herpetofauna. Our database holds approximately 13,400 type records; over 2,470 of these are primary (name bearing) types. <p></p>https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/herps/

Data from: Using spatial capture–recapture to elucidate population processes and space-use in herpetological studies
The cryptic behavior and ecology of herpetofauna make estimating the impacts of environmental change on demography difficult; yet, the ability to measure demographic relationships is essential for elucidating mechanisms leading to the population declines reported for herpetofauna worldwide. Recently developed spatial capture–recapture (SCR) methods are well suited to standard herpetofauna monitoring approaches. Individually identifying animals and their locations allows accurate estimates of population densities and survival. Spatial capture–recapture methods also allow estimation of parameters describing space-use and movement, which generally are expensive or difficult to obtain using other methods. In this paper, we discuss the basic components of SCR models, the available software for conducting analyses, and the experimental designs based on common herpetological survey methods. We then apply SCR models to Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus), to determine differences in density, survival, dispersal, and space-use between adult male and female salamanders. By highlighting the capabilities of SCR, and its advantages compared to traditional methods, we hope to give herpetologists the resource they need to apply SCR in their own systems.
Figure 7 in Herpetological diversity across intact and modified habitats of Nosy Komba Island, Madagascar
Figure 7. Amphibian abundance during daytime surveys (a: n = 205) and night-time surveys (b: n = 32). Bars show standard error. Abundance was measured in individuals encountered per 20 minute survey conducted within a 20 x 20 m quadrant. Habitat types are as follows: CC = closed canopy forest, DC = disturbed canopy forest, SCP = shade-grown coffee plantation, OP = open plantation. Figures marked with * were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05).

Figure 3 in Herpetological diversity across intact and modified habitats of Nosy Komba Island, Madagascar
Figure 3. Amphibian species richness in different habitats including all species encountered both within timed surveys and opportunistic sightings. Darker bars represent the proportion of species classified as Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Habitat types are as follows: CC = closed canopy forest, DC = disturbed canopy forest, SCP = shade-grown coffee plantation, OP = open plantation.
