The Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles regularly publishes and updates species accounts in the Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles. These accounts are to be exhaustive searches and references for the particular species in question. The series began in 1963, and now they are all open access and available online for free download at a University of Texas repository. Our account covered all of the literature to date for the River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna).
