|name=Albert Schwartz |birth_date=1923 |death_date=1992 |occupation=zoologist}}Albert Schwartz (1923–1992) was a zoologist from the United States. He worked extensively with the herpetofauna of Florida and the West Indies, and later, with butterflies.[1][2] He is dubbed as one of the "Kings of West Indian Anole Taxonomy".[3] CareerSchwartz obtained his PhD from the University of Michigan in mammalogy in 1952. Already at that time, he had a keen interest in amphibians and reptiles, as well as in warmer climates.[1] Schwartz spent most of his professional working life at Miami-Dade Community College;[1][2] he was also supported by a family trust, which he used to fund his own activities as well as field expeditions by others. He was a Research Associate of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History,[4] and also an associate of the Florida Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution), and the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.[8] Starting in 1954, he worked extensively in Cuba, and described numerous frogs[1] as well as three anole species from there.[3] After the revolution in Cuba, he shifted his attention to Hispaniola,[1] where he again described numerous frog species[1] and five anoles.[3] In the late 1970s, when Schwartz saw the number of new amphibians and reptiles he could describe from the West Indies diminishing, he shifted his attention to butterflies.[1] Legacy{{see also|:Category:Taxa named by Albert Schwartz (zoologist)}}Schwartz published 230 papers on West Indian biology. 80 of the amphibian and reptile species he had described were recognized as valid in 1993;[1] he is credited to have described 14% of the entire West Indian herpetofauna.[3] A number of taxa are named in his honor, including the following:[2][5][6]
