Albert Schwartz (September 13, 1923 – October 18, 1992) was an American zoologist who worked extensively with the herpetofauna of Florida and the West Indies, and later with butterflies.[1][2] One magazine article once dubbed him as one of the "Kings of West Indian Anole Taxonomy".[3]

Career

Schwartz obtained his PhD from the University of Michigan in mammalogy in 1952. Already at that time, he had a keen interest in amphibians and reptiles, as well as in warmer climates.[1] Schwartz spent most of his professional working life at Miami-Dade Community College;[1][2] he was also supported by a family trust, which he used to fund his own activities as well as field expeditions by others. He was a Research Associate of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History,[4] and also an associate of the Florida Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution), and the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.[5] Starting in 1954, he worked extensively in Cuba, and described numerous frogs[1] as well as three anole species from there.[3] After the revolution in Cuba, he shifted his attention to Hispaniola,[1] where he again described numerous frog species[1] and five anoles.[3] In the late 1970s, when Schwartz saw the number of new amphibians and reptiles he could describe from the West Indies diminishing, he shifted his attention to butterflies.[1]

Legacy

Шаблон:See also Schwartz published 230 papers on West Indian biology. 80 of the amphibian and reptile species he had described were recognized as valid in 1993;[1] he is credited to have described 14% of the entire West Indian herpetofauna.[3] Schwartz is one of the top-10 most productive alpha-taxonomists in herpetology, having described 299 reptiles (species and subspecies) that were still valid in 2018.[6] A number of taxa are named in his honor, including the following:[2][5]
