About the author
Robert G. Webb was an American herpetologist and professor emeritus at the University of Texas at El Paso. He earned his Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Kansas in 1960 and built a long academic career focused on the systematics and biogeography of reptiles and amphibians.
His research centered on the southwestern United States and, in particular, Mexico. Across more than 100 publications, he became especially known for work on Mexican herpetology and on turtles, helping document species diversity with the kind of detailed scholarship other researchers relied on for years.
Born in 1927 and remembered by colleagues after his death in 2018, he left a lasting mark through both his writing and his work with collections at UTEP. No suitable verified portrait image was found from his Wikipedia page, so a profile image is not included here.
