No full textHyperolius flavoviridis Peters, 1854 Peters, 1854. Ber. Bekanntmach. Geeignet. Verhandl. Königl. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1854: 628. Current name: Hyperolius argus Peters, 1854 Syntypes: possibly RMNH 1780, 1 spec. Loc.: Tete, Mozambique. Leg.: W.C.H. Peters. Possibly RMNH 1785, 1 spec. Loc.: Tete, Mozambique. Leg.: W.C.H. Peters. Remarks. Bauer et al. (1995: 44) indicated RMNH 1780 as a possible syntype. Syntypes are also in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (ZMB 6631-6632).Published as part of Miracle, Eulàlia Gassó, Van, Lars W., Ostende, Den Hoek & Arntzen, Jan Willem, 2007, Type specimens of amphibians in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, pp. 25-68 in Zootaxa 1482 on pages 46-47, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689
Pyxicephalus edulis Peters 1854
No full textPyxicephalus edulis Peters, 1854 Peters, 1854. Ber. Bekanntmach. Geeignet. Verhandl. Königl. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1854: 626. Syntype: RMNH 2274, 1 spec. Loc.: Mozambique. Leg.: W.H.C. Peters. Remarks. Other syntypes are in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (ZMB 3349, 3350, 10056 - 58, 50260, 50290, and 50301 -02). According to Boulenger (1882: 34), a syntype may be a specimen in the Natural History Museum in London, from “Mossambique”, received from W. Peters. The type locality (“Mossambique, Boror, Tette”) was restricted to “Tete” by Loveridge (1953: 375).Published as part of Miracle, Eulàlia Gassó, Van, Lars W., Ostende, Den Hoek & Arntzen, Jan Willem, 2007, Type specimens of amphibians in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, pp. 25-68 in Zootaxa 1482 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689

Chiroleptes inermis Peters 1867
No full textChiroleptes inermis Peters, 1867 Peters, 1867. Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin: 30. Current name: Litoria inermis (Peters, 1867) Syntype: possibly RMNH 1888, 1 spec. Loc.: Rockhampton, Australia. Ex: Museum Godeffroy, Hamburg. Remarks. Other types are in the American Museum of Natural History in New York (AMNH 23582) and the Naturhistorische Museum Wien in Vienna (NHMW 18384, 2 spec.). Cogger et al. (1983: 44) regarded ZMB 5589 (3 specimens, in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) as the holotype of the species and considered the status of other syntypes as “apparently in error”. However, Peters (1867: 30) did mention several specimens from the Godeffroy Museum for his description: “Andere Exemplare ebendaher in der Godeffroyschen Sammlung.” If Peters indeed included those in his decriptions, RMNH 1888 could be a syntype.Published as part of Miracle, Eulàlia Gassó, Van, Lars W., Ostende, Den Hoek & Arntzen, Jan Willem, 2007, Type specimens of amphibians in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, pp. 25-68 in Zootaxa 1482 on page 36, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689
Phractops alutaceus Peters 1867
No full textPhractops alutaceus Peters, 1867 Peters, 1867. Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin: 31. Current name: Litoria novaehollandiae (Steindachner, 1867) Paratype: possibly RMNH 3867, 1 spec. Loc.: “Rockhampton, O. Australien ” [Queensland, Australia]. Ex: Museum Godeffroy. Received: 1877. Remarks. The holotype is probably in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (ZMB 5653), and possible paratypes are in the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden (RMNH 3867) and in the American Museum of Natural History in New York (AMNH 23581). Bauer et al. (1995: 43) suggested that the RMNH specimen was likely not part of the type series. However, in accordance with the Leiden museum records (“Rockhampton, O. Australië, Goddeff.”, received in 1877) RMNH 3867 could have been one of the specimens described by Peters, provided that this specimen was part of the first shipment to the Museum Godeffroy from their collector in Rockhampton, in 1867.Published as part of Miracle, Eulàlia Gassó, Van, Lars W., Ostende, Den Hoek & Arntzen, Jan Willem, 2007, Type specimens of amphibians in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, pp. 25-68 in Zootaxa 1482 on page 51, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689

Current name: Litoria arfakiana (Peters & Doria, 1878) Paralectotypes: RMNH 4241, 4 spec. Loc.: “Hatam” [Arfak Mountains, Irian Jaya, Indonesia]. Leg.: O. Beccari. Received: 1875. Remarks. The lectotype (MSNG 29723 A) was selected by Capocaccia (1957: 213) and is in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Giacomo Doria in Genova. The paralectotypes are in the Natural History Museum in London (BM 82.10.3.3- 5), the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (ZMB 9756, 3 spec.), the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Giacomo Doria in Genova (MSNG 29723, 9 spec.) and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels (ex RMNH).Published as part of Miracle, Eulàlia Gassó, Van, Lars W., Ostende, Den Hoek & Arntzen, Jan Willem, 2007, Type specimens of amphibians in the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, The Netherlands, pp. 25-68 in Zootaxa 1482 on page 41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17689
Threatening communication: a critical re-analysis and a revised meta-analytic test of fear appeal theory
No full textDespite decades of research, consensus regarding the dynamics of fear appeals remains elusive. A meta-analysis was conducted that was designed to resolve this controversy. Publications that were included in previous meta-analyses were re-analysed, and a number of additional publications were located. The inclusion criteria were full factorial orthogonal manipulations of threat and efficacy, and measurement of behaviour as an outcome. Fixed and random effects models were used to compute mean effect size estimates. Meta-analysis of the six studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria clearly showed a significant interaction between threat and efficacy, such that threat only had an effect under high efficacy (d = 0.31), and efficacy only had an effect under high threat (d = 0.71). Inconsistency in results regarding the effectiveness of threatening communication can likely be attributed to flawed methodology. Proper tests of fear appeal theory yielded the theoretically hypothesised interaction effect. Threatening communication should exclusively be used when pilot studies indicate that an intervention successfully enhances efficacy
R.S. Peters' Comprehensive Theory of Moral Education
No full textThis article presents R.S. Peters’ theory of moral education embedded in his broad conception of morality. The author examines Peters’ views against the background of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development; hence, the positions of both thinkers are interwoven throughout the discussion. It addresses some central issues relevant to moral education such as, for example: cognitive and affective aspects of morality, and the acquisition of virtues. In the article the author argues that Peters’ account of moral development and moral education provides supplementation for the somewhat narrow theory developed by Kohlberg, thus establishing a broader framework relevant to moral education.status: Publishe
