說明
The São Tomé and Príncipe 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 233 records (233 specimens), representing 28 taxa (7 amphibians and 21 reptiles). These were collected between 1954 and 1984, either by targeted surveys promoted by the IICT or by fortuitous collections and donations by private individuals and researchers.

取樣方法
The majority of the records of this dataset result from the Missões Científica de São Tomé carried out by the former Junta de Investigação do Ultramar, coordinated by Fernando Frade during 1954. Some other material from Príncipe Island, collected during the years of 1955 and 1956, correspond to offers by Décio Passos (a former official of the Príncipe Airport Services). Other records result from intermittent donations of specimens to the Junta de Investigação Científica do Ultramar from 1955 to 1971. Some of these specimens were previously studied and cited in Manaças (1958, 1973), and more recently used on species descriptions (Ceríaco 2015; Ceríaco et al. 2016, 2018; Soares et al. 2018).
| 研究範圍 | The study covers both São Tomé and Príncipe Islands, but also the small islet of Tinhosa Grande, situated at approximately 20 km southwest of Príncipe Island. The temporal distribution is mainly concentrated in the decade of 1950's (especially in years 1954, 1955 and 1956). |

| 品質控管 | Information from each specimen was catalogued in an Excel spreadsheet, involving two steps: i) digitization of specimens 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. Island). |
方法步驟描述:
- The herpetological collections were catalogued using the software Microsoft Excel. We conducted extensive shelf surveys to locate all the remaining São Tomé and Príncipe 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.
