Anatomical terms of location

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

See Urotheca myersi and Anatomical terms of location

Colubridae

Colubridae (commonly known as colubrids, from coluber, 'snake') is a family of snakes.

See Urotheca myersi and Colubridae

Costa Rica

Costa Rica (literally "Rich Coast"), officially the Republic of Costa Rica, is a country in the Central American region of North America.

See Urotheca myersi and Costa Rica

Dipsadinae

Dipsadinae is a large subfamily of colubroid snakes, sometimes referred to as a family (Dipsadidae).

See Urotheca myersi and Dipsadinae

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 Urotheca myersi and Endemism

Family (biology)

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

See Urotheca myersi and Family (biology)

Forest

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

See Urotheca myersi and Forest

Frog

A frog is any member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura (coming from the Ancient Greek ἀνούρα, literally 'without tail').

See Urotheca myersi and Frog

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 Urotheca myersi and Habitat

Jay M. Savage

Jay Mathers Savage (born August 1928 in Santa Monica, California) is an American herpetologist known for his research on reptiles and amphibians of Central America.

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 Urotheca myersi and Oviparity

Predation

Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey.

See Urotheca myersi and Predation

Salamander

Salamanders are a group of amphibians typically characterized by their lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults.

See Urotheca myersi and Salamander

Snake

Snakes are elongated, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes.

See Urotheca myersi and Snake

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 Urotheca myersi 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).

See Urotheca myersi and Specific name (zoology)

Subfamily

In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus.

See Urotheca myersi and Subfamily

Terrestrial locomotion

Terrestrial locomotion has evolved as animals adapted from aquatic to terrestrial environments.

See Urotheca myersi and Terrestrial locomotion
