UC Publications in Zoology
University of California Publications in Zoology is a monographic series devoted to zoological studies. Although the series has traditionally emphasized systematics, behavior, and natural history, submissions from other areas such as evolution, population genetics, and functional morphology are encouraged.
Submission Guidelines: All submissions should be directed to the chair of the series editorial board. Note that if a manuscript is approved for publication, the author will need to provide digital files suitable for printing.

There are 6 publications in this collection, published between 2003 and 2014.
Kelt, Douglas A; Lessa, Enrique P.; Salazar-Bravo, Jorge; Patton, James L.: The Quintessential Naturalist: Honoring the Life and Legacy of Oliver P. Pearson, 2014
Abstract: Oliver P. Pearson's studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals,...
Patton, James L.; Huckaby, David G.; Álvarez-Castañeda, Sergio Ticul: The Evolutionary History and a Systematic Revision of Woodrats of the Neotoma lepida Group, 2014
Abstract: We detail the evolutionary history of the desert woodrat complex (lepida group, genus Neotoma) of western North America. Our analyses include standard multivariate morphometrics of museum specimens coupled with mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences...
Tellez, Marisa: Checklist of Host-Parasite Interactions of the Order Crocodylia, 2013
Abstract: Records of parasitism in crocodilians date back to the early 1800s, distributed among various types of published and unpublished materials. Analyzing parasite-host specificity, geographic distribution, and taxonomy can provide otherwise cryptic details about crocodilian ecology...
Lacey, Eileen A.; Myers, Philip: Mammalian Diversification: From Chromosomes to Phylogeography (A Celebration of the Career of James L. Patton), 2005
Abstract: James L. Patton served as Curator of Mammals in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) and as Professor of Integrative Biology (formerly Zoology) at the University of California, Berkeley, from January, 1969 until June, 2001....
Leite, Yuri L. R.: Evolution and Systematics of the Atlantic Tree Rats, Genus Phyllomys (Rodentia, Echimyidae), With Description of Two New Species, 2003
Abstract: The Atlantic tree rats, genus Phyllomys, are arboreal echimyids found in eastern Brazil. Species of Phyllomys are of conservation interest because they are poorly known, have restricted geographic ranges, and are endemic to the Atlantic...
Rodríguez-Robles, Javier A.; Good, David A.; Wake, David B.: Brief History of Herpetology in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, with a List of Type Specimens of Recent Amphibians and Reptiles, 2003
Abstract: An overview of the herpetological program of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ), University of California, Berkeley, is presented. The history of herpetological activities in the MVZ and more generally at Berkeley is summarized. Although...
