This Gopher provides information on the Department's history, staff, and loan policies. Following a description of the size and scope of the collection, you may connect to a number of groups such as the Crocodile and the Marine Turtle Specialist groups, as well as the Gopher Tortoise Council. They provide a checklist of Florida's venomous and nonpoisonous snakes plus locally occuring amphibians. The herp programs and faculty of the University of Florida are described, as well. This link provides a search form that allows you to enter scientific or common names, as well as other data, in an effort to find herpetological species that occur in Hawaii.
Checklists also exist for birds and mammals.
These records give information about the organisms introduction and distribution into Hawaii. This collection is one of the research units at the Texas Memorial Museum at the University of Texas at Austin. Some sections of their Web page remain under construction, yet a visit would be worthwhile, especially if information is sought regarding Texas taxa, though their holdings are from around the world. Information provided covers preserved specimens, geographic coverage, skeletons, tape recordings, frozen tissues, on-line databases, as well as loans and visits. Taxonomically, frogs and lizards constitute the largest holdings.
