👉 Herpetologists are specialists in the study of reptiles and amphibians. They conduct research to understand their behavior, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and conservation status. Herpetologists typically use a combination of fieldwork, laboratory studies, and genetic analysis to determine factors that influence the survival and distribution of these animals. In addition to studying herptile species, herpetologists also work on conservation issues related to reptiles and amphibians, including habitat protection, disease control, and population monitoring.
