Periodical Index - Other Invertebrates

A guide to non-arachnid, non-insect invertebrate articles appearing in herpetogical periodicals over the past few years


The following is a guide to invertebrate-related articles dealing with species other than arachnids or insects that have appeared within herpetological magazines within the last few years. It includes centipedes, millipedes, crustaceans and molluscs. This is an ongoing project, ie I am effectively cataloguing these entries myself from the actual magazines, some of which are harder to get hold of than others (especially when they are no longer being published!). I hope however that some people will find it useful, especially if researching a single species or looking for some care guidance.

Key

D=Draco Quarterly herpetological magazine from the German Natur und Tier Verlag that usually focuses on a theme, eg agamid lizards or desert herpetofauna
