Amphibians and Reptiles of Samar Island Natural Park, Samar, Philippines
Listed in GBIF
Samar Island, the third largest in the country and a key element of the Greater Mindanao Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex, still harbors swathes of old-growth forest and limestone karst systems, making it a critical site for understanding biogeographic and evolutionary patterns in the Philippines.
Description
The herpetofaunal diversity of Samar remains poorly documented, with data scattered and woefully outdated. Early collections date back to the mid-19th century, and while recent efforts have incrementally improved species inventories, a comprehensive and updated assessment remains lacking.
Here, we present the results of recent intensive surveys conducted within the Samar Island Natural Park (SINP) and adjacent protected areas.
