Amphibians, Reptiles and Turtles of the Cimarron National Grassland, Kansas

摘要

Since the appearance of of Reptiles and amphibians of the Cimarron National Grassland, Mortoll County, Kansas (Collins and Collins, 1991), new information has accumulated on the diversity, distribution and biology of amphibians, reptiles, and turtles native to our state, including those known to inhabit the Cimarron National Grassland. Through the efforts of various field-oriented individuals and a search o( major DTNorth American herpetological collections, we now have a more precise knowledge of the distribution of these animas in the south western part of the Slate. More articles have been published since 1991 that refer to the herpetofauna in the Cimarron River Valley, and the data contained in them has permitted us to refine and clarify the information contained herein for most of the accounts of Grassland species. Articles with direct reference to amphibians, reptiles, and turtles in the Grassland or in Morton County', Kansas, are listed in the bibliography) at the end of this book.
