Reptiles of Ecuador: a resource-rich online portal, with dynamic checklists and photographic guides 1Omar Torres-Carvajal, 2Gustavo Pazmiño-Otamendi, and 3David Salazar-Valenzuela 1,2Museo de Zoología, Escuela de Ciencias Biológicas, Pontifcia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Avenida 12 de Octubre y Roca, Apartado 17- 01-2184, Quito, ECUADOR 3Centro de Investigación de la Biodiversidad y Cambio Climático (BioCamb) e Ingeniería en Biodiversidad y Recursos Genéticos, Facultad de Ciencias de Medio Ambiente, Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica, Machala y Sabanilla EC170301, Quito, ECUADOR Abstract.—With 477 species of non-avian reptiles within an area of 283,561 km2, Ecuador has the highest density of reptile species richness among megadiverse countries in the world. This richness is represented by 35 species of turtles, fve crocodilians, and 437 squamates including three amphisbaenians, 197 lizards, and 237 snakes. Of these, 45 species are endemic to the Galápagos Islands and 111 are mainland endemics. The high rate of species descriptions during recent decades, along with frequent taxonomic changes, has prevented printed checklists and books from maintaining a reasonably updated record of the species of reptiles from Ecuador. Here we present Reptiles del Ecuador (http://bioweb.bio/faunaweb/reptiliaweb), a free, resource-rich online portal with updated information on Ecuadorian reptiles. This interactive portal includes encyclopedic information on all species, multimedia presentations, distribution maps, habitat suitability models, and dynamic PDF guides. We also include an updated checklist with information on distribution, endemism, and conservation status, as well as a photographic guide to the reptiles from Ecuador.

Guideline for authors 63 BIOGEOGRAFÍA 6 t has become fashionable among certain research circles in biogeography EDITORIAL to openly declare opposing research programs persona non grata for the I entire discipline. There is nothing new in such, but what has changed in recent years is the view that suppression is a legitimate and respectable scientific activity to be made in the public, rather than private, domain. Given the diversity of biogeographic endeavors as noted in the literature by various commentators, efforts to limit the discourse of biogeography are troubling as they presuppose a single methodological and conceptual Truth above all others – a perspective that is contrary to the very nature of science as an open ended process of discovery.

  • Status of Forest Remnants in the Cordillera De La Costa and Adjacent
    Rapid Assessment Program RAP Working Papers 2 Status of Forest Remnants in the Cordillera de la Costa and Adjacent Areas of Southwestern Ecuador CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL OCTOBER 1992 Conservation Priorities: The Role of RAP Our planet faces many serious environmental problems, among them global climate change, pollution, soil erosion, and toxic waste disposal. At Conservation International (CI), we believe that there is one problem that surpasses all others in terms of importance because of its irreversibility, the extinction of biological diversity. Conservation efforts still receive only a tiny fraction of the resources, both human and financial, needed to get the job done. As a result of this, we must use available resources efficiently, applying them to those places with the highest concentrations of diversity which are at most immediate risk of disappearing. CI uses a strategic, hierarchical approach for setting conservation investment priorities. At a global level, we have targeted the “hotspots,” 15 tropical areas that hold a third or more of all terrestrial diversity and are at great risk. Our global priorities also focus on major tropical wilderness areas and the “megadiversity” country concept, which highlights the importance of the national entities that harbor high biodiversity. We are now undertaking a series of priority-setting exercises for other major categories of ecosystems, among them marine systems, deserts, and dry forests. The next level of priority setting is the bio-regional workshop, a process where experts assemble their combined knowledge of an area to map regional conservation priorities using CI’s geographic information system (CISIG). We have also taken a taxon-based approach, working with the Species Survival Commission of IUCN to produce action plans for key groups of organisms.

    A Check List of the /V^phibiaijs and Reptiles of Ecuador WITH A Bibliography of EcuadoriaisI Herpetology KENNETH MIYATA Museum of Comparative Zoology Harvard University (present address) lational Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution smithsonian herpetological information SERVICE NO. 54 ^^6RaRIES 1982 . ECUADOR CHECKLIST INTRODUCTION There has been a renewed interest in the herpetology of Ecuador over the past twenty years, initiated largely through the efforts of the late Dr. James A. Peters. During this period large collections of Ecuadorian material have been made by a number of workers and this material is now deposited in North American collections, notably the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, the United States National Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Comparative Zoo- logy. These collections have shown that the Ecuadorian herpetofauna is exceptionally rich, and until now a complete checklist has not been aval lable As is the case with any checklist, this is very much a work-in- progress. Of the 682 taxa recorded herein from Ecuador, 136 have been described since 1970, and I am aware of many more species awaiting description. There is no shortage of basic exploratory work yet to be done. Although most of the major habitats and regions have been sam- pled, there still remain large blank areas on collecting maps that will no doubt turn up many surprises. I have made efforts to check out suspicious literature records, but in some cases species may be included on this list due to either misidenti f icat ions or incorrect locality data. I chose not to include information on distribution in this list for two reasons.

    Lista actualizada de las lagartijas de Ecuador con comentarios acerca de su diversidad 119 Lista actualizada de las lagartijas de Ecuador con comentarios acerca de su diversidad Omar Torres-Carvajal1 1Escuela de Biología, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Avenida 12 de Octubre y Roca, Apartado 17-01-2184, Quito, Ecuador [email protected] Recibido: 20, 05, 2011; aprobado: 29, 07, 2011 RESUMEN.- Se presenta una lista actualizada de las especies de lagartijas de Ecua- dor que incluye 25 adiciones y una omisión a la última lista publicada en papel. Un breve análisis de diversidad y endemismo indica que, a excepción de Galápagos, la costa y estribaciones occidentales de los Andes albergan la mayor diversidad y endemismo de lagartijas en Ecuador. Una lista de especies permanentemente actua- lizada, junto con información biológica, fotos y mapas de distribución estará dispo- nible en línea a través del portal FaunaWebEcuador. Según las tendencias descritas en este trabajo, se estima que la presente lista continuará creciendo y modificándose a una tasa acelerada durante los próximos años. PALABRAS CLAVE: Diversidad, Ecuador, FaunaWebEcuador, Lagartijas, Squamata. ABSTRACT.- An updated checklist of lizards from Ecuador including 25 addi- tions and one omission to the last checklist published on paper is presented. A brief analysis indicates that, except for Galápagos, the highest diversity and endemism of lizards in Ecuador occurs in the Pacific coast and western Andean slopes. A permanently updated checklist including biological information, photographs and maps will be available online at FaunaWebEcuador. According to the tendencies described here, the current checklist will continue to expand and change during the coming years.
