Joe Collins
Kansas-based herpetologist Joe Collins died of a heart attack over the weekend while on a field herping trip; he was 72. Collins was the author of a number of books on North American reptiles and amphibians; he was also the director of the Center for North American Herpetology, whose frequent changes to snake taxonomy, it must be said, have been a source of irritation.
