dc.description.abstract | We report new distribution records for amphibians and reptiles from 20 localities within the northern Cordillera
Mountain Range of Ilocos Norte Province, Luzon Island, Philippines. Together with opportunistic collections of specimens
from past surveys, our new data result in a total of 58 amphibian and reptile species for Ilocos Norte Province and the
extreme northern Cordilleras—all of which constitute major geographic range extensions. We utilize new data and IUCN
formalized conservation assessment criteria to revise the conservation status of many species. Our results highlight the
degree to which fundamental distribution data are lacking for Luzon amphibians and reptiles and emphasize the manner
in which many current species assessments are based on incomplete data and, as a result, may be sorely misleading. The
complex biogeography of Luzon’s herpetofauna remains poorly understood, providing opportunities for future research
and conservation efforts once distribution patterns and local abundances are properly documented. | |
