Proper Citation: Amphibian Species of the World (RRID:SCR_008164)

Description: The Amphibian Species of the World database has two searching tools, a BROWSE table and a SEARCH table. It provides needed information for research and conservation needs and to help illuminate where geographical data or taxonomic information are woefully inadequate. In addition, all underlined author names, dates, and publications may be clicked through to see other records citing this author, date, or publication. The basic structure of a taxonomic record is (1) Current scientific name, author and year of publication; (2) original name, authorship, citation, and if relevant, location of primary types and type locality (direct quotation if possible). This is followed by a synonymy composed of all new names, their authorship, literature citation, and (if relevant) location of primary types, and type locality as well as all new combinations and the literature source of the synonymy or combination; (3) published English names; (4) known or inferred distribution of the taxon; (5) comments to controversies or relevant taxonomic literature. A synonymy follows the currently recognized name. The synonymy includes synonyms and relevant combinations (in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999) as well as deposition of types, type localities, and the source of the synonymy. Users who are looking for the synonymy to provide unerringly and precisely the names by which a taxon have been mentioned will be disappointed, and will be misled if they approach synonymies this way.
