Live and act

Buller was best known through his collaboration with Joel Asaph Allen (1838-1921), who as a zoologist described many new species and wrote a number of articles together with Buller, among others. In Mexico in particular , they both collected species that were still unknown to zoological science at the time.

Buller caught the type specimens of the lizard Sceloporus bulleri, later named after him by Allen, as well as the Buller chipmunk ( Tamias bulleri ) and the Jalisco pocket rat ( Pappogeomys bulleri ) in Mexico. For a collecting trip for the American Museum of Natural History Buller traveled a total of 1610 kilometers through the Sierra de Nayarit and the mountain ranges of the Sierra Madre Occidental to Zacatecas .

In addition to the species mentioned, the subspecies Heteromys irroratus bulleri of the Mexican barbed pocket mouse , which was described as a separate species by Oldfield Thomas in 1893 , is named after Buller.
