Resumen |
The Círculo Herpetológico de
Panamá (CHP), a NGO dedicated to the study and conservation of the
amphibians and reptiles of Panama, has compiled during 25 years of
research and field work a large volume of significant and important
information on the amphibians and reptiles of this country. The
objective of this project is to digitize information and to create a "Thesaurus"
in a database format using the reference collection of the CHP,
which has 4,900 specimens (representing ~80% of the species recorded in
the country), 800 tissue samples for DNA analysis, photographs of
amphibians and reptiles, and tape recordings of a large number of
anurans. Material form this collection has been utilized for publication
of new distribution records of species during the last 20 years, and for
the description new species. An additional objective is to create a web
page containing information, following the standards established by the
Species and Specimens Thematic Network (SSTN), linked to IABIN. This
link will become a valuable source of information for researchers
interested in the conservation of these species. This proposal
constitutes our first approach to the activities being carried out by
IABIN. |
