Introduction

In order to accommodate literature citations, previous editions of the atlas will remain available on-line here. The recommended citation is formatted to contain the accessed date, which is the date you actually downloaded that particular document. If you wish to cite an earlier version than that listed here, please contact Brian Edmond. Note that the previous atlas editions do not change, even if there are errors in them.

Please note that the atlas is normally published after the year for which it contains updates. For example, the atlas for 2005 (atlas05.pdf) was published in February 2006 but contains records through the 2005 collecting season. Also, versions of the atlas produced before the 2005 version did not have the year in the title but still followed the tradition of containing the previous years' updates. The titles for these editions have been unofficially amended to make it clear which time period is covered.

Although they are not individually listed here, the annual county records update and other distribution articles are published in the annual newsletter published by the Missouri Herpetological Association.

The Atlas and related documents are published in the standard portable document format (PDF) created by Adobe. You must download and install the Adobe Reader to view these documents. Since each atlas version is large (10 - 20 Mb or more), it will take some time to download each document, even on broadband. We recommend that you download the atlas to your hard drive (right-click, save file) and open it from there.

Current Atlas Edition

Choose from the following documents based on your printing preferences. The simplex document is designed for printing on one side of each page. The duplex document is designed for printing on both sides of each page. The documents are identical except for two things: a) the duplex document contains an extra blank page after the cover page to facilitate standard page numbering (i.e., keeping odd-numbered pages on the right side of an open-faced document), and b) the page numbers in the footer alternate between the left and right sides. If you are printing single-sided with the intent to photocopy the pages into a double-sided document, be sure to retain the blank page when doing so. This will ensure the page numbers are aligned correctly.
