Aspidoscelis Guttata
''Aspidoscelis'' is a genus of whiptail lizards in the family Teiidae. Taxonomy The nomenclature for the genus ''Aspidoscelis'' was published by T.W. Reeder et al. in 2002. Many species that were formerly included in the genus ''Cnemidophorus'' are now considered ''Aspidoscelis'' based upon divergent characters between the two groups. Etymology The name ''Aspidoscelis'' literally means "shield-leg", from the Ancient Greek ' ("shield") and ' ("leg"). Species The following species are recognized as being valid. *'' Aspidoscelis angusticeps'' - Yucatán whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis arizonae'' - Arizona striped whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis burti'' - canyon spotted whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis calidipes'' - Tepalcatepec Valley whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis carmenensis'' - Carmen Island whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis ceralbensis'' - Cerralvo Island whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis communis'' - Colima giant whiptail *'' Aspidoscelis costatus'' - Mexico whiptail lizard *'' Aspidoscelis cozumela'' ...

Western Whiptail
The western whiptail (''Aspidoscelis tigris'') is a species of lizard in the family Teiidae. The species ranges throughout most of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Most of its populations appear stable, and it is not listed as endangered in any of the states comprising its range. It lives in a wide variety of habitats, including deserts and semiarid shrubland, usually in areas with sparse vegetation; it also may be found in woodland, open dry forest, and riparian growth. It lives in burrows. Major differences between this species and the checkered whiptail (''Aspidoscelis tesselatus'') include the lack of enlarged scales anterior to the gular fold and the presence of enlarged postantebrachial scales. It was previously known as ''Cnemidophorus tigris'', until phylogenetic analyses concluded that the genus ''Cnemidophorus'' was polyphyletic. Since it does not migrate, a number of forms have developed in different regions, several of which have been given subspec ...

Charles Earle Burt
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its depre ...

Aspidoscelis Danheimae
''Aspidoscelis danheimae'', also known commonly as the Isla San José whiptail, the San Jose Island blue-throated whiptail, and ''el huico de la Isla San José'' in Spanish, is a species of lizard in the family Teiidae. The species is endemic to Isla San José in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Etymology The specific name, ''danheimae'' (genitive, feminine), is in honor of American herpetologist May Danheim Burt, who was the wife of the describer. Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . (''Aspidoscelis danheimae'', p. 64). Habitat The preferred natural habitats of ''A. danheimae'' are shrubland, rocky areas, and sandy areas, including beach. Reproduction ''A. danheimae'' is oviparous.

Hans Friedrich Gadow
Hans Friedrich Gadow (8 March 1855 – 16 May 1928) was a German-born ornithologist who worked in Britain. His work on the classification of birds based on anatomical and morphological characters was influential and made use of by Alexander Wetmore in his classification of North American birds. Gadow was born in Stary Kraków (Pomerania), the son of an inspector of the Prussian royal forests. He studied at the universities of Berlin, Jena and Heidelberg. At Jena he studied under Ernst Haeckel and at Heidelberg University under the anatomist Karl Gegenbaur. After graduation he travelled to the Natural History Museum in London in 1880 at the request of Albert Günther, to work on the museum's ''Catalogue of Birds''. Gadow also established the first new sequence of bird orders and families that departed from earlier works in being based on phylogenetic principles based on a comparison of anatomical and morphological features and made use of the studies made by Max Fürbringer.

Aspidoscelis Costatus
''Aspidoscelis costatus'', also known as the western Mexico whiptail, is a species of whiptail lizard endemic to Mexico, including Guerrero, Morelos, and Puebla in southern Mexico, as well as other Mexican states. Its range spans both temperate and tropical habitats, and even densely populated urban areas. Its common name, the Western Mexico Whiptail, can easily be confused with the Western Whiptail, which refers to a different lizard, '' Aspidoscelis tigris''. A small lizard, up to only 4 inches SVL (snout to vent length), this striped lizard has a pointed snout, a slender body, a pair of long hind legs, and an extremely long tail. Its whip-like, tapering tail, if not recently shortened from caudal autotomy (self-amputation of the tail), may be more than two times its SVL. Therefore, although this dwarf lizard has a short SVL length, it can reach a total length of close to 1 foot, tail included, giving the false impression that it's a long lizard. When the lizards fight to ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Joseph Richard Slevin
Joseph Richard Slevin (September 13, 1881 – February 17, 1957) was an American herpetologist and the second curator of herpetology at the California Academy of Sciences, with which he was affiliated for over 50 years. He collected reptile and amphibian specimens from around the world, notably in the Galápagos Islands in a 17-month expedition, and was largely responsible for re-growing the Academy's herpetological collection following its destruction in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He wrote or co-wrote nearly 60 scientific papers, and is commemorated in the scientific names of over a dozen species or subspecies of animals and plants. Early life Slevin was born in San Francisco, California, and attended St. Ignatius High School. His father, Thomas E. Slevin, was an amateur ornithologist and member of the California Academy of Sciences. Joseph studied classical languages at Saint Mary's College in Kansas, then enlisted in the United States Navy. By 1904 he had served his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
