Abstract

ABSTRACT Donald G. Broadley was one of Africa’s most prolific recent authors. He produced over 410 articles, including numerous comprehensive and detailed taxonomic reviews of lizard and snake genera. A review of his scientific publications spanning over 50 years of herpetological research reveals three phases. The first (1958–1981) saw Don describe his first new reptile and the completion of numerous important generic revisions. The second phase (1982–1991) was a period of relative taxonomic quiescence, but saw the compilation of major faunal overviews, including two books, the monographic Amphibia Zambesiaca (with J.C. Poynton, 1985–1991), and a checklist of the reptiles of Tanzania (with Kim Howell, 1991). The third and final phase of Don’s career (1992–2015) saw him at the peak of both his collaborative and authoritative stage. His outlook embraced sub-Saharan Africa, although always with a bias towards eastern and southern Africa. Appendices include: a detailed bibliography of his herpetological publications; a chronological list of all the scientific taxa he described; and details of the numerous current patronyms named in his honour. He described 123 taxa, including 115 species/subspecies and 8 genera/subgenera. As of 2016 there are 16 patronyms (five amphibians, nine reptiles and two invertebrates) named in his honour.

唐纳德·乔治·布罗德利：书目、分类学发现和父名

唐纳德·g·布罗德利是非洲近年来最多产的作家之一。他发表了410多篇文章，其中包括许多全面而详细的蜥蜴和蛇属分类评论。回顾他50多年来的爬行动物研究的科学出版物，可以发现三个阶段。第一次(1958-1981)，唐描述了他的第一个新的爬行动物，并完成了许多重要的通用修订。第二阶段(1982-1991年)是分类学相对平静的时期，但完成了主要动物群概述的汇编，包括两本书:专著《赞比亚两栖》(与J.C. Poynton合著，1985-1991年)和坦桑尼亚爬行动物清单(与Kim Howell合著，1991年)。唐职业生涯的第三个也是最后一个阶段(1992-2015)见证了他在合作和权威阶段的巅峰。他的观点包括撒哈拉以南非洲，尽管总是对东部和南部非洲有偏见。附录包括:他的爬虫类出版物的详细参考书目;他所描述的所有科学分类群的时间顺序表;以及众多以他命名的父姓的细节。描述了123个分类群，包括115个种/亚种和8个属/亚属。截至2016年，有16个父名(5个两栖动物，9个爬行动物和2个无脊椎动物)以他的名字命名。
