Descripción

The Mozambique 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 1121 records (1121 specimens), representing 94 taxa (15 amphibians and 70 reptiles). These were collected between 1948 and 1971, 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 Zoológicas de Moçambique carried out by the former Junta de Investigação do Ultramar, coordinated by Fernando Frade during the late semester of 1948 and during the year of 1955. Some of these specimens were previously studied and cited in Manaças (1950, 1952, 1954, 1959, 1961) and Broadley (1963, 1965). Other records result from intermittent donations of specimens to the Junta de Investigação Científica do Ultramar. The donations from 1956 result from the Missão de Combate às Tripanossomíases, carried out by Dr. Marques da Silva a former researcher at the Posto Zootécnico de Angónia. Some other specimens were donated by Dr. Donald Broadley, formerly at the Umtali Museum, Rhodesia, including part of the type series of Platysaurus maculatus lineicauda, Platysaurus maculatus maculatus, and Afroedura transvaalica loveridgei.

Área de Estudio The study covers 9 out of the 10 provinces of Mozambique (Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Maputo, Nampula, Niassa, Sofala, Tete and Zambézia). The temporal distribution is mainly concentrated in the decade of late 1940’s to mid 1950s (especially in years 1948 and 1955).
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. Nomenclature 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. Mozambique, Centro Social, etc.).

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:

  1. 1. The herpetological collections were catalogued using the software Microsoft Excel. We conducted extensive shelf surveys to locate all the remaining Mozambican 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% etanol 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 Cabral & Mesquitela (1989) or 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.
