New Distribution Records for Amphibians and Reptiles in Connecticut, with Notes on the Status of an Introduced Species
Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, 2006Co-Authors: Gregory J. Watkins-colwell, Twan A. A. M. Leenders, Brian T. Roach, Daniel J. Drew, Gregg Dancho, Jeanne YuckienuzAbstract:Abstract Recent field work and a review of catalogued specimens in the Herpetology collections at the Yale Peabody has yielded 170 new town records for amphibians and reptiles in Connecticut. These are reported here, along with observations on the status of the red-ear slider (Trachemys scripta) in Connecticut.

Synthesising Herpetology Herpetology : An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles, George R. Zug, Laurie J. Vitt & Janalee P. Caldwell : book review
African Journal of Herpetology, 2002Co-Authors: Martin J. WhitingAbstract:Extracted from text ... Book review Synthesising Herpetology Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles. George R. Zug, Laurie J. Vitt & Janalee P. Caldwell. 2001. xiv + 630 pp, hardbound, second edition. Academic Press. US$ 70. ISBN: 012782622X. 157 African Journal of Herpetology, 2002 51(2): 157-160. Synthesising an entire field is a challenge in any discipline. Herpetology is no exception, especially considering the burgeoning number of herpetological papers, books, and journals. There is a rich history of Herpetology texts. Grey-haired herpetologists frequently have a copy of Goin & Goin (1962) or Porter (1972), while younger herpetologists tend to have more recent texts ..

‘To Be a Scientist Sometimes You Have to Break Down Stuff about Animals’: Examining the Normative Scientific Practices of a Summer Herpetological Program for Children
International Journal of Science Education Part B, 2015Co-Authors: Catherine Marie ScottAbstract:When studying informal science programs, researchers often overlook the opportunities enabled and constrained in each program and the practices reinforced for participants. In this case study, I examined the normative scientific practices reinforced in one-week-long Herpetology (the study of reptiles and amphibians) program for elementary students. In the program, participants identified four practices that they felt were important to Herpetology and felt that the practices in which they engaged reflected those of herpetologists in the field. The practices identified by participants (e.g. use of tools, use of scientific vocabulary) aligned with those identified by herpetologists working with the participants in the program. The findings illustrate that program structure plays a significant role in establishing normative scientific practices. This study (1) encourages researchers to question the ways in which normative practices are developed for participants and (2) suggests that practitioners must not on...

Understanding Mental Models of Dilution in Thai Students
International Journal of Science Education Part B, 2013Co-Authors: Catherine Marie ScottAbstract:Reform-based science education emphasizes the need for engagement in authentic science, that is, work that resembles real-life scientific practices. However, few studies address the notion of authenticity from the participants' perspectives. As such, this study addresses the following: What events do young participants view as scientific? To what extent do participant perceptions of authentic Herpetology work align with what herpetologists actually do in the field? Eighteen children (aged 7–11) were observed in two informal Herpetology programs, one program focused on field studies and the other on classroom participation and observation. Through photograph elicitation interviews, a method in which participants take photographs and describe them to others, participants were asked to photograph activities that made them feel ‘like scientists’ as they participated in each week-long program. Perceptions of authenticity were directly linked to program structure and did not always reflect the practices of work...

Contextually authentic science for young children: a study of two summer Herpetology programs
2012Co-Authors: Catherine Marie ScottAbstract:The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, skills, and dispositions enabled for elementary school participants in two summer Herpetology programs, one in North Carolina and one in Florida. An additional purpose of this study was to examine the normative scientific practices in which participants engaged and to describe how these experiences differed across each of the Herpetology programs. Finally, the program structures of Herpetology and Reptiles were compared to determine how each Herpetology program's activities and methodologies impacted participants' perceptions of authentic science. A goal of this study was to expand and broaden the understanding of how authentic science program structure impacts what is enabled for participants in terms of knowledge, skills, and dispositions gained. This study built on previous research of contextually authentic science practices (Buxton, 2006). This study was conducted and the data analyzed using an interpretative case study, mixed methods approach. Data collected included: video and audio data from classroom and field sessions, participant focus group interviews, photographs, and photo elicitation interviews. Participants' science journals were collected and analyzed. Pre- and post-assessments and surveys were administered and analyzed for twenty-four participants, twelve participants from the Herpetology program and twelve participants from the Reptiles program.
