The 21st Annual Meeting of the Missouri Herpetological Association was held on 27 - 28 September 2008 at Reis Biological Station near Steelville, Crawford County, Missouri.
A total of 29 "members", representing 11 institutions, attended the meeting. Ten paper sessions were presented during the regular meeting. A short business meeting followed the last regular presentation. Business meeting discussion topics included the date and location of the 2008 fall meeting. After dinner, the keynote presentation, entitled Some things we have learned while chasing lizards in paradise was given by Bob Powell, Professor in the Department of Biology, Avila University. Abstracts from presentations will be included in the 2008 newsletter, which will be published this winter.
Presentation and candid photos as well as a group photo from the meeting are available. Several from the group spent Saturday night at the field station to participate in the Sunday morning field trip effort. The original announcement will remain available on-line for historical purposes.
The MHA would like to extend a special appreciation to Bob Aldridge and Saint Louis University for generously providing the facilities gratis for this meeting, the 14th Association meeting held at Reis.
