Amphisbaenia

Amphisbaenia (called amphisbaenians or worm lizards) is a group of typically legless lizards, comprising over 200 extant species.

See Slater's worm lizard and Amphisbaenia

Amphisbaenidae

The Amphisbaenidae (common name: worm lizards) are a family of amphisbaenians, a group of limbless vertebrates.

See Slater's worm lizard and Amphisbaenidae

Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans.

See Slater's worm lizard and Anatomical terms of location

Bolivia

Bolivia, officially the Plurinational State of Bolivia, is a landlocked country located in western-central South America.

See Slater's worm lizard and Bolivia

Carl Gans

Carl Gans (7 September 1923 – 30 November 2009) was a German-born American zoologist and herpetologist.

See Slater's worm lizard and Carl Gans

Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Slater's worm lizard and Endemism

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Slater's worm lizard and Family (biology)

Forest

A forest is an ecosystem characterized by a dense community of trees.

See Slater's worm lizard and Forest

George Albert Boulenger

George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

See Slater's worm lizard and George Albert Boulenger

Habitat

In ecology, habitat refers to the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species.

See Slater's worm lizard and Habitat

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Slater's worm lizard and Holotype

International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

See Slater's worm lizard and International Union for Conservation of Nature

Oviparity

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.

See Slater's worm lizard and Oviparity

Paulo Vanzolini

Paulo Emilio Vanzolini (April 25, 1924 – April 28, 2013) was a Brazilian scientist and music composer.

See Slater's worm lizard and Paulo Vanzolini

Peru

Peru, officially the Republic of Peru, is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the south and west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is a megadiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon River.

See Slater's worm lizard and Peru

South America

South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.

See Slater's worm lizard and South America

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Slater's worm lizard and Species

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).
