Researches

Bond explored the rainforests of South and Central America and discovered some previously unknown animal and plant species.

From 1938 to 1940, Bond was the first to systematically catch freshwater fish in the Maracaibo lowlands in Venezuela . The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology is home to a collection of these fish. Additional copies are in the possession of Stanford University . The species discovered in Venezuela included numerous new species, including the Rivulus bondi named after Bond . Also Corydoras bondi , another catfish species, was later named after him.
