Herpetologist
Herpetology (from Greek ἑρπετόν ''herpetón'', meaning "reptile" or "creeping animal") is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians (including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians (gymnophiona)) and reptiles (including snakes, lizards, amphisbaenids, turtles, terrapins, tortoises, crocodilians, and the tuataras). Birds, which are cladistically included within Reptilia, are traditionally excluded here; the scientific study of birds is the subject of ornithology. Thus, the definition of herpetology can be more precisely stated as the study of ectothermic (cold-blooded) tetrapods. Under this definition "herps" (or sometimes "herptiles" or "herpetofauna") exclude fish, but it is not uncommon for herpetological and ichthyological scientific societies to collaborate. Examples include publishing joint journals and holding conferences in order to foster the exchange of ideas between the fields, as the American Society of Ichthyologists and He ...

Hyla Ericae
''Boana ericae'' is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and only known from its type locality, Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in the Goiás state. The specific name ''ericae'' honors Erica Maria Pellegrini Caramaschi, a Brazilian ichthyologist (and presumably the spouse of U. Caramaschi). Habitat and conservation ''Boana ericae'' occurs in gallery forests along streams at about above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level taken as a vertical datum. In geodesy, it is formalized as ''orthometric heights''. The comb .... It breeds in the same habitat. It is a common species, but its habitat is threatened by logging, mining, and fires. Nevertheless, the type locality is within a protected area. References Boana Amphibians of Brazil Endemic fauna of Brazil Taxa named by Ulisses Caramaschi Amphibians described in ...

The snout is short; there is a prominent, rounded protuberance above snout. The tympanum is concealed. The fingers and toes have rounded tips but lack discs; the toes are half-webbed whereas the fingers have no webbing. Skin is dorsally and laterally mostly covered by spinulose warts. Ventral skin is spinulose. The dorsum and the flanks have dark brown to black background with a marbled pattern of sinuous yellow. The ventral region has a large orange uniform spot; there are also a few small orange spots in the chest and three yellow or orange spots in the gular surface.

''Melanophryniscus simplex'' is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, intermittent freshwater lakes, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss. References simplex In geometry, a simplex (plural: simplexes or simplices) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions.

Hyla Sibilata
''Aplastodiscus sibilatus'' is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to northeastern Brazil and is known from central-eastern Bahia and Alagoas.
