This website serves two functions:

  1. a place where everyone can contribute to these books by donating their images and vouchering their observations, and
  2. as a support site for the authors and editors.

Contribute Your Images and Vouchers

These volumes will rely on images donated by the herpetological community. Although we are unable to offer monetary compensation for images, we will list photographic credit in the caption. These volumes will include dot distribution maps for each species. Dots imply a voucher (specimen or photograph) in an institutional collection. We provide a link to the submission page for the ASU Biocollections to encourage naturalists to voucher photographs they believe are new records. Vouchered records will be mapped in the books. Click below for further instructions.

Resources for Authors & Editors

  1. At-a-glance ability to track the progress of each species account,
  2. editorial conventions and example accounts,
  3. access to hard to find and acquire literature,
  4. resources for building the distribution maps, and
  5. contributor contact information.
