Two specimens were collected in “Cerro Provincia”, central Chile, expanding in 136 km (straight line) its latitudinal distribution and in 800 m its altitudinal distribution. This record adds a new species of Liolaemus lizard for the “Región Metropolitana”, Chile. The genus Liolaemus (Wiegmann 1834) comprises band, which is yellowish-brown in L. lemniscatus (Figure a total of 223 species of wide distribution from the high 2). Moreover, L. pseudolemniscatus has a higher number Andes of central Perú to “Tierra del Fuego”, and from sea of chromosomes (2n = 44) than L. lemniscatus (2n = 34) et al. 2010).

Zúñiga Laboratorio de Ecología, Universidad de Los Lagos, Osorno, Chile E-mail: zundusicyon@gmail.com A. H. Zúñiga (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0504-7540) Changes in the Structure of Assemblages of Three Liolaemus lizards (Iguania, Liolaemidae) in a Protected Area of South-Central Chile Affected by a Mixed-Severity Wildfire. Zúñiga, A. H. — The use of space by sympatric lizards was assessed in a protected area in south central Chile that was affected by a wildfire three years prior. I did systematic monitoring in plots with varying degrees of wildfire severity. There I counted the frequency of recordings of each species, and I considered four treatments (low severity, medium severity, high severity and unburned control). Additionally, I subdivided these four into three different microhabitats (ground, trunks and trees). The microhabitats were differentiated by the level of damage caused to vegetation as a consequence of the wildfire. Three species were recorded, slender lizard, Liolaemus tenuis (Duméril & Bibron, 1837), orange-bellied lizard, Liolaemus pictus (Duméril & Bibron, 1837), and elegant tree iguana, Liolaemus lemniscatus (Gravenhorst, 1837). It was revealed that the presence of Liolaemus tenuis was linked to sites with less fire damage; the species disappeared in high severity sites. In contrast, L. pictus displayed a more generalist use of microhabitats, with a similar presence in the different treatments.

Lagartija de Curicó (Liolaemus curicensis), Paso Vergara, Región de O´Higgins, foto Fabrice Schmitt. Página 19 N°15, Diciembre 2012 La Chiricoca Las especies de reptiles chilenos son en su mayoría representadas por una gran variedad de lagartos y lagartijas de ta- maños medianos a pequeños (Donoso-Barros 1966). Estas lagartijas pertenecen al género Liolaemus (Familia Liolae- midae) siendo actualmente 94 especies conocidas para Chile (Vidal & Díaz-Páez 2012). Este género se caracteriza por su amplia distribución y utilización de hábitats variados, en los cuales frecuentemente se pueden encontrar ensambles compuestos por más de una especie (Carothers et al. 1998). En este artículo, se indican características generales y del diseño y coloración que permiten discriminar a cuatro espe- cies de lagartijas de Chile central, cuyos fenotipos (rasgos externos) son muy similares y que pueden ser confundidos para el observador no especialista. Dichas especies son Liolaemus curicensis, L. fuscus y L. lemniscatus del grupo alticolor-bibronii (Quinteros 2012) y L. pseudolemniscatus, especie próxima al grupo nigromaculatus (Lobo 2005). Todas estas especies tienen una apariencia “similar” y en ocasiones pueden habitar en simpatría por tener un rango distribucional sobrelapado (Figura 1).

Goldberg imponente en los últimos 30 años. Numerosos estudios relacionados a las diferentes ramas de la (Comisión Directiva AHA) Biología se han realizado con los géneros y especies que integran Liolaemidae. Sin embargo los avances taxonómicos y filogenéticos son los más evidentes. El géneroLiolaemus , es el segundo género más diverso dentro de Iguania y su número de taxa aumenta considerablemente año tras año. El género Phymaturus presenta una diversidad intermedia dentro de la familia, pero en la última década ha casi triplicado su diversidad específica. Debido a la gran diversidad que presenta la familia, desde sus comienzos los arreglos taxonómicos y propuestas filogenéticas han sido cuantiosas, multiplicándose en los últimos años.

    Phylogeny, time divergence, and historical biogeography of the South American Liolaemus alticolor-bibronii group (Iguania: Liolaemidae) Sabrina N. Portelli* and Andrés S. Quinteros* UNSa-CONICET, Instituto de Bio y Geociencias del NOA, Rosario de Lerma, Salta, Argentina * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT The genus Liolaemus comprises more than 260 species and can be divided in two subgenera: Eulaemus and Liolaemus sensu stricto. In this paper, we present a phylogenetic analysis, divergence times, and ancestral distribution ranges of the Liolaemus alticolor- bibronii group (Liolaemus sensu stricto subgenus). We inferred a total evidence phy- logeny combining molecular (Cytb and 12S genes) and morphological characters using Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference. Divergence times were calculated using Bayesian MCMC with an uncorrelated lognormal distributed relaxed clock, calibrated with a fossil record. Ancestral ranges were estimated using the Dispersal-Extinction- Cladogenesis (DEC-Lagrange). Effects of some a priori parameters of DEC were also tested. Distribution ranged from central Perú to southern Argentina, including areas at sea level up to the high Andes. The L. alticolor-bibronii group was recovered as monophyletic, formed by two clades: L. walkeri and L. gracilis, the latter can be split in two groups. Additionally, many species candidates were recognized. We estimate that the L. alticolor-bibronii group diversified 14.5 Myr ago, during the Middle Miocene. Our results suggest that the ancestor of the Liolaemus alticolor-bibronii group was distributed in a wide area including Patagonia and Puna highlands. The speciation pattern follows the South-North Diversification Hypothesis, following the Andean uplift.
