INTRODUZIONE Le prime conoscenze sull'erpetofauna di Verona risalgono ad uno scritto di Pollini relativo al Monte Baldo e ai Lessini (1816), seguito nella seconda metà dell'800 dalle opere di Massalongo (1859), Garbini (1898) e De Betta. Fu proprio quest'ultimo a definire con diversi trattati e la sua collezione erpetologica, le specie presenti e l...

The majority of the displays in The Hunterian Zoology Museum at the University of Glasgow date back to the late 1980s and since then, there have been no changes to the labels. This means that the content is often incorrect from a taxonomical point of view but perhaps more importantly they do not cover concepts such as endangered species. To improve...
