Yehudah Leopold Werner (born 1931 in Munich) is an Israeli herpetologist and Professor Emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Department of Evolution, Systematics and Ecology). He and his parents were forced to flee from Nazi Germany in 1933, and reached Palestine via France and England in 1935. Georg Haas (1905–1981), an emigrant from Austria who was Professor in Jerusalem,〔Adler, K. (1989): ''Contributions to the History of Herpetology''. - Society for the study of amphibians and reptiles: 202 p. ISBN 0-916984-19-2〕 guided his PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. During his long scientific career, Werner published more than 400 titles. Among other things, the biology of the geckos, including their vocal communication, as well as the zoogeography and conservation of the reptiles and amphibians in the Middle East are his main themes. Werner was a co-founder of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and served as chairperson of the Zoological Society of Israel. Beyond this, Werner described or redescribed (alone or with co-authors) a number of amphibian and reptile taxa: * ''Hyla heinzsteinitzi'' Grach, Plesser & Werner, 2007〔Grach, C., Plesser, Y. & Y. L.
