Abstract: A list of 470 theses relating to herpetology in the broad
sense, produced by students at Australian universities, is presented.
By far the majority of theses have been produced since 1970, and almost
half by just three institutions, the Universities of Sydney, Western
Australia and Melbourne.
Introduction:
A vast amount of data has been generated by research students in
the form of theses. In many cases, the research in such theses has
remained unpublished in the mainstream literature as their authors
progress to different areas of research, or even away from research
altogether. In such cases, the few copies of the theses held in University
libraries (and often only in Departmental or School libraries, not
the central libraries) remain as the exclusive repository for the
data produced. While there is some access to titles of higher degree
theses (e.g., M.Sc., Ph.D.) through the Union List of Higher Degree
Theses in Australian University Libraries (University of Tasmania
Library, Hobart) and its supplements (1966-1989), Honours theses often
remain unknown to all but the student and supervisor. Even the higher
degree theses in herpetology are not readily accessed by any simple
combination of keywords, because of the diverse nature of herpetology.
For example, in searching for titles relating to reptiles and amphibians
in the Union List, I found relevant titles under the subject headings
agriculture, anatomy, biochemistry, biology, ecology, environmental
studies, genetics, palaeontology, physiology, veterinary science and
zoology.
In an attempt to gather together this diverse and unfortunately rarely
accessed literature, this list of theses was compiled. I have endeavoured
to include all theses up to the end of 1992, together with those few
1993 theses of which I am aware to date, although I have been unable
to locate the dates and titles of a few theses that I know were produced.
The list was initially generated from titles extracted from the Union
List of Higher Degree Theses and its supplements, and from lists of
herpetological theses published in the Newsletter of the Australian
Society of Herpetologists. To these were added titles gleaned from
lists of references in many research papers, lists of theses kindly
provided by zoology, biological science and physiology departments
and by student supervisors, and from numerous dusty cupboards of theses
held at various universities. In total, 470 theses (4 D.Sc., 3 M.D.,
141 Ph.D., 49 M.Sc., 8 M.Sc.(prelim.), 1 M.Appl.Sci., 1 M.Agr.Sci.,
1 M.Nat.Res., 1 M.Litt., 250 B.Sc. or B.A.(Hons.), 1 Zoology IV thesis,
1 Zoology III special project, 1 Cert.Equiv.Hons.(Zool.), 2 B.Sc.(Med.),
1 B.Sc.(Vet.), 2 B.Nat.Res., 2 Dip.Nat.Res., 1 Dip.Mus.Stud.) are
cited in the following list. For their assistance in supplying institutional
lists of theses, and for tracking down the elusive details of obscure
theses, I thank S. Blomberg, M. Bull, M. Davies, J. de Bavay, D. Booth,
K. Christian, G. Courtice, B. Firth, A. Georges, A. Greer, P. Harlow,
J. Joss, N. Kos, T. McConnell, D. Metcalfe, M. Peterson, R. Shine,
R. Swain, G. Torr, G. Watson and P. Woolley.
The list includes all theses that are based on, or from the title
appear to be based on, any aspect of amphibians or reptiles. Consequently
it includes, in addition to basic ecological and systematic studies
of reptiles and amphibians, any titles that cover organisms known
to parasitise such hosts, anatomical, biochemical and physiological
studies, whether exclusively on amphibians and reptiles or in the
form of comparative studies of vertebrates, and studies using reptile
and amphibian products, such as snake venoms. I have not personally
been able to examine all theses listed to verify the accuracy of the
citation. In some cases, different dates were provided by alternative
sources. Presumably these mostly reflect differences between the year
as provided on the thesis itself (date of completion/submission) and
the year of award of the degree. In such cases, I have given the earlier
date. For higher degree theses, copies of which are generally held
in the central library system of the University, I have only listed
the University involved. For Bachelor (Honours) and Diploma theses,
which are generally only held in a Departmental or School collection,
I have attempted to list the Department or School in which the work
was done. Inclusion of a thesis title does not guarantee that access
to that thesis is available.
The earliest thesis I have been able to trace is from 1912, a D.Sc.
thesis by S.J. Johnston at the University of Sydney, on the trematodes
of frogs. Herpetological research at the Honours level began in 1944,
with a Sydney University thesis by P.G. Larcombe on the physiology
of metamorphosis in Limnodynastes peronii. The earliest
herpetological M.Sc. was a 1949 study of the cardiovascular system
of Varanus varius by S.J. Copland at the University
of Sydney, followed in 1955 by the earliest Ph.D., A.R. Main's research
on speciation in Crinia at the University of Western Australia. However,
only 21 theses (2 D.Sc., 2 Ph.D., 1 M.D., 3 M.Sc., 12 B.Sc.(Hons.),
1 B.A.(Hons.)) had appeared prior to 1960, and an additional 54 theses
(10 Ph.D., 1 M.D., 10 M.Sc., 1 B.Sc.(Med.), 31 B.Sc.(Hons.), 1 Zoology
III special project) between 1960 and 1969. The number of theses doubled
during the 1970s, with 48 Ph.D., 1 M.D., 1 M.Agr.Sci., 9 M.Sc., 4
M.Sc.(prelim.), 68 B.Sc.(Hons.) and 1 Certificate of Equivalent Honours
theses, a total of 132 titles, and has continued to rise sharply,
with 2 D.Sc., 68 Ph.D., 22 M.Sc., 3 M.Sc.(prelim.), 1 M.Appl.Sci.,
1 M.Nat.Res., 98 B.Sc.(Hons.), 1 B.A.(Hons.), 1 B.Sc.(Med.), 2 B.Nat.Res.,
2 Dip.Nat.Res. and 1 Dip.Mus.Stud. awarded during the 1980s, a total
of 202 titles.
Prior to 1960, only three institutions (University of Sydney, University
of Tasmania, University of Western Australia) had produced herpetological
theses. By 1969, these had been joined by the University of New South
Wales (1961, B.Sc.(Hons.)), University of New England (1962, B.Sc.(Hons.)),
University of Melbourne (1964, B.Sc.(Hons.)), Australian National
University (1966, Ph.D., M.Sc.), University of Queensland (1967, Ph.D.,
M.Sc.) and Monash University (1968, M.Sc.). Overall, the greatest
numbers of herpetological theses have been produced by the University
of Sydney (88), University of Melbourne (69) and University of Western
Australia (58), almost a half (46%) of the total number of theses
located.
