Descripción
The Guinea-Bissau herpetological collections of the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (IICT), currently housed in the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (MUHNAC) are part of the scientific collections of the Universidade de Lisboa (UL), Portugal. This set comprises a total of 968 records (968 specimens), representing 48 taxa (11 amphibians and 37 reptiles), representing the richest collection of Guinea-Bissau amphibians and reptiles in the world. These were collected between 1939 and 1991, either by targeted surveys promoted by the IICT or by fortuitous collections and donations by private individuals and researchers.

Métodos de muestreo
The majority of the records of this dataset result from the Missões Científica da Guiné carried out by the former Junta de Investigação do Ultramar, coordinated by Fernando Frade during the period of 1945 and 1946. Some other material correspond to intermittent donations of specimens to the Junta de Investigação Científica do Ultramar from 1939 to 1991. Some of these specimens were previously studied and cited in Manaças (1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1955). The majority of the records refered in those publications were used in the most recent checklist of the amphibians and reptiles from the Bijagós archipelago and mainland Guinea-Bissau (Auliya et al. 2012).
| Área de Estudio | The study covers all 8 regions of Guinea-Bissau (Bafatá, Biombo, Bissau, Bolama, Cacheu, Gabu, Oio, Quinara and Tombali). The temporal distribution is mainly concentrated in the decade of 1940's (especially in years 1945 and 1946). |

| Control de Calidad | Information from each specimen was catalogued in an Excel spreadsheet, involving two steps: i) digitization of specimen records; and ii) taxonomic revision and data checking. Nomemclature was checked through available literature, The Reptile Database [http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/], and the Amphibia Species of the World v.6.0 [http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/]. Georeferencing followed the recommendations by Chapman and Wieczorek (2006), including the determination of uncertainty of coordinates, in particular when insufficient information was available from specimens' records and labels to attribute a specific locality (e.g. Guinea-Bissau). |
Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- The herpetological collections were catalogued using the software Microsoft Excel. We conducted extensive shelf surveys to locate all the remaining Guinea-Bissau specimens of amphibians and reptiles. After locating the specimens, basic curatorial procedures were taken. Each jar was cleaned, and ethanol or formalin was changed to 70% ethanol gradually. In certain cases jars were substituted as they were cracked or were otherwise not reliably sealable. All the information linked to the survinving specimens and/or jars were collected, copied, and linked to the specimen. After completion of curatorial activities, each specimen was identified to the species and/or subspecies level. The identification of the specimens was accomplished by consulting the most updated available literature sources and followed the currently accepted nomenclature. Additionally, the specimens' original information was re-checked at this phase, comparing the label data with surviving original field books and catalgoues, in order to screen for any initial cataloguing errors. The collecting locality for each bibliographic reference was georeferenced following the GPS location available in newer publications, and then also converting to decimal degrees. When no data were available in the recent publications, we used "GEOLocate online application" (http://www.museum.tulane.edu/geolocate/) for georeferencing the locality cited . The uncertainty of georeferenced localities was recorded whenever possible. For some records it was not possible to determine the coordinates due to insufficient location information. All coordinates are given in geographic format, decimal degrees, datum WGS 84.
