Alfred Cleveland Weed (1881–1953) was an assistant curator at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago from 1921 to the 1930s. Although he was mainly associated with ichthyology, he also published in herpetology. He was later on the ichthyology staff at the National Museum of Natural History. The tests using toads were faster than those employing mammals; the toads were easier to raise, and, although the initial 1948 discovery employed Bufo arenarum for the tests, it soon became clear that a variety of anuran species were suitable, including the cane toad. As a result, toads were employed in this task for around 20 years. Forty-four species of herpetiles had been identified from the study area. The collected specimens were preserved and are available in Pakistan Museum of Natural History, Islamabad.

Field studies were scheduled to commence in December 1993. A major component of this project will be the use of GIS and remote sensing to model the dynamics of fragmentation, to assess the efficacy of existingprotected area networks in conserving herpetofauna, and to suggest measures which would enhance the efficacy of these networks.

In the past, malformed frogs were rarely found in Minnesota. Only 0.2 percent of 2,433 frog specimens collected in Minnesota during 1958-63 that are archived at the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota were malformed (Hoppe, 2000). Another 0.5 percent were abnormal due to predator attacks. Frog Frog (frŏg), n. [AS. Froggu, frocga a frog (in sensel); akin to D. Vorsch, OHG. Frosk, G. Frosch, Icel. Froskr, fraukr, Sw. & Dan.

An Warty species of frog tend to be called toads but the distinction between frogs and toads is based on informal naming conventions concentrating on the warts rather than taxonomy or evolutionary history; some toads are more closely related to frogs than to other toads.

For the Neotropical lowlands, where temperatures are similar across landscapes, we hypothesize that water balance may be a critical but understudied factor in determining the distribution of species.

Located on the western edge of the Western Highland Rim, the battlefield is a highly dissected area of ridges and ravines covered mainly oak-hickory forest. The museum has a full-time scientific staff of 225, sponsors over 120 special field expeditions each year, averages about five million visits annually; the one mission statement of the American Museum of Natural History is: "To discover and disseminate—through scientific research and education—knowledge about human cultures, the natural Department of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK (, access February 2013) and from non-open access sources: including records from The Natural History Museum, London (UK), South African National Biodiversity Institute (South Africa), Trento Museum of Natural History (Italy) and the Museum für
