MPM Herpetology

The Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM) collection contains amphibians and reptiles from around the US, especially the Midwest, and from the West Indies, where retired Curator Robert Henderson still does research.

MPM has collected these animals since the late 1800s to document the tremendous variety of animal life on our planet.

Today, the MPM vertebrate zoologists center their research on the classification, evolution, natural history and ecology of animals with an emphasis on documenting biological diversity.

密尔沃基公立博物馆（MPM）的藏品包括来自美国各地，尤其是中西部，以及加勒比海地区的两栖动物和爬行动物，其中退休馆长罗伯特·亨德森仍在进行相关研究。自19世纪末以来，MPM便开始收集这些动物，以记录我们星球上生物多样性的丰富性。如今，MPM的脊椎动物学家将研究重点置于动物的分类、进化、自然史与生态学，尤其强调对生物多样性的记录。
