Filling Gaps with Specimens: New Herpetofaunal County Records from Georgia, USA

摘要

New species-distribution records are potentially useful to many areas of scientific research. Precise, vouchered distribution data can aid in the development of rigorous species distribution models (Boitani et al. 2011; Hermoso et al. 2015), improve speciesfocused management plans and reserve design (Rondinini et al. 2006; Guisan et al. 2013), enhance the spatial resolution of withinspecies variation and species delimitation (Folt et al. 2016; Kuchta et al. 2016; Wray et al. 2017), and can supply the raw material for studies on parasite diversity and distribution (Goldberg et al. 1997; Bursey et al. 2012; Carlson et al. 2017), among others.
