INFORMATION ABOUT SYSTEMATICS, TAXONOMY, NATURAL HISTORY, AND CONSERVATION

AmphibiaWeb
http://amphibiaweb.org/index.html
Herpetology, Fourth Edition follows the taxonomic arrangement in AmphibiaWeb in most cases. The site is updated frequently and provides links to important events in the study and conservation of amphibians.

Amphibian Species of the World
http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/
The taxonomy presented in this site differs in some respects from Herpetology, Fourth Edition. Species accounts include synonyms (older names by which a species was known), as well as earlier combinations (such as a species that had previously been placed in a different genus). The search function allows you to enter any name, including the names of species, genera, and families, and determine the taxon to which they now belong. This is a convenient way to determine the current name for a species identified by an older synonym in a publication. You can also search the database by country (or state within the U.S.) to retrieve a list of all species currently recognized from that region.

The Reptile Database

Herpetology, Fourth Edition follows the taxonomic arrangement in The Reptile Database in most cases. The site is updated frequently and provides links to important events in reptilian systematics.

This  22-volume series edited by Carl Gans and published between 1969 and 2010, played a fundamental role in the development of modern herpetology by assembling and synthesizing information about morphology, physiology, neurobiology, behavior and ecology of reptiles. The full text of all 22 volumes is available online through the Gans Collection and Charitable Fund.
