New discoveries of amphibians and reptiles from Vietnam
TL;DR: This work provides a list of 21 new amphibian and reptilian species and subspecies discoveries from Vietnam, including one new snake genus, published after the comprehensive overview by Nguyen et al. (2009).
A new species of reed snake, Calamaria Boie, 1827 (Squamata: Colubridae), from central Vietnam
Nguyen Quang Truong,André Koch,Thomas Ziegler,Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum,Alexander Koenig,Cologne Zoo +5 more
TL;DR: A new species of Calamaria Boie, 1827 is described, based on a single specimen collected in mixed secondary deciduous and bamboo forest at 1,200 m altitude from Kon Tum Province in Central Vietnam, and the sixth species recorded from this country in the past 15 years.
Is there a chance for conservation breeding? Ex situ management, reproduction, and early life stages of the Harlequin toad Atelopus flavescens Duméril & Bibron, 1841 (Amphibia: Anura: Bufonidae)
Anna Gawor,Anna Rauhaus,Detlef Karbe,Karin van der Straeten,Stefan Lötters,Thomas Ziegler,Cologne Zoo +6 more
TL;DR: An overview of the larval development from oviposition to metamorphosis, including diagnostic morphological char- acters according to Gosner is provided, as well as a slight sexual dimorphism in adults.
Husbandry, captive breeding, larval development and stages of the Malayan horned frog Megophrys nasuta (Schlegel, 1858) (Amphibia: Anura: Megophryidae)
Marlen J. Wildenhues,Anna Rauhaus,Rike Bach,Detlef Karbe,Stefan T. Hertwig,Thomas Ziegler,Cologne Zoo +6 more
TL;DR: Long-term experience with the successful keeping and breeding of Megoph- rys nasuta at the Cologne Zoo's Amphibian Breeding Unit is reported and data with other breeding reports is compared.
In vitro culture of skin cells from biopsies from the Critically Endangered Chinese giant salamander, Andrias davidianus (Blanchard, 1871) (Amphibia, Caudata, Cryptobranchidae)
Thomas Ziegler,Christina Allmeling,Kerstin Reimers,Natalie Frank-Klein,Robert Seuntjens,Peter M. Vogt,Cologne Zoo,Cologne Biocenter +7 more
TL;DR: Primary skin cell cultures of Andrias davidianus can be used in future studies to evaluate effects of disease, pollution, regeneration, wound healing, and could provide cells for use in reproduction technologies such as cryopreservation to preserve gene lines in this and other Critically Endangered species with minimal harm to the animals.
