Description

The collection of Amphibians at the MZS comprises some 2100 specimens: 48 are osteological samples, about 2045 are specimens in alcohol and 8 are mounted animals. They have worldwide origins and cover almost all extant families. 386 are salamanders covering 8 of the 9 families of Caudata, 1696 are frogs (38 families) and 9 are caecilians (5 families).The collection periods are in their vast majority the 19th and 20th centuries. Several Natural History agencies significantly contributed to the 19th century entries, among which Hermann Rolle in Berlin, J.F.G. Umlauff in Hamburg and Gustav Schneider in Basel. A number of naturalists significantly contributed to the collection, such as the explorer Hans Frühstorfer (1866-1922) who sent 100 frogs from South-East Asia or the Speyer family who collected 100 specimens in Alsace and in Germany. 41 specimens were collected by Ludwig Döderlein during his journey in Japan 1880-1881.Ce travail a bénéficié du soutien financier du Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche.
