Herp Highlights from Recent Madrean Discovery Expeditions

Wednesday Nov. 16 @ 7:15 PM

Speaker: Thomas R. Van Devender

As Senior Research Scientist at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, for 25 years Tom conducted research in natural history and has over 100 publications. These include topics such as: natural history, paleoecology, desert grasslands, desert tortoise ecology, local floras, ethnobotany, herpetofauna, and the Madrean Archipelago. He works in Sonora, especially the Madrean Sky Island mountain ranges, la Frontera zone, within 100 km of the Arizona border, the Yecora area in the Sierra Madre Occidental, and in the Alamos area. Having organized biodiversity inventories for Sky Island Alliance and now as Director of Biodiversity Programs at GreaterGood.org he has developed the MABA (Madrean.org) and the new MDE (Madreandiscovery.org) databases that are the best sources of biological records in the Madrean Archipelago.

At the Zonas Aridas symposium at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo on October 13th, Tom was given special recognition for his botanical efforts in Sonora — the Planta Clos award.

Tom will show us some of the many reptiles and amphibians he has seen on his many expeditions.
