In this study we report 16 new localities of Alsodes, corresponding to first order Peter Bartsch streams, located in the Andes of Chile between 35°58’ and 36°32’S (1800–2470 m). In some of these sites, adults and juveniles morphologically similar to A. pehuenche and Key Words A. hugoi were observed, as well as specimens of Alsodes that could not be identified by their external morphology. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis with mitochondrial sequenc- Alsodes pehuenche es (cytochrome b) was performed to identify the new populations to species level. All Alsodes hugoi populations around 36°S belong to A. pehuenche, while most of those located south of that Chilean Andes area would be A. hugoi. The exception is Cajón de Plaza (36°23’S), where specimens with distribution extensions sequences of A. hugoi or A. pehuenche coexist, whose taxonomic status could not be deter- first order streams mined. These findings imply not only a westward range extension ofA. pehuenche in Chile conservation of about 14.5 km and of A. hugoi about 100 km southward, but also that practically all Critically Endangered the first order streams of the Andes of central Chile would be inhabited by populations of Vulnerable Alsodes. Both results demonstrate the scarce biogeographic knowledge of the genus in the Andes, which has important implications for its conservation at local and species levels.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.

Corresponding author: Gonzalo A. Collado, [email protected] Abstract The New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1843) has been considered as one of the most invasive mollusks worldwide and recently was listed among the 50 most damaging species in Europe. In the present paper, we report for the first time the presence ofP. antipodarum in the Maule river basin, Chile. The identity of the species was based on anatomical microdissections, scanning electron microscopy comparisons, and DNA barcode analysis. This finding constitutes the southernmost record of the species until now in this country and SouthAmerica.

These Amphibia choices can strongly affect the resulting topologies. Here, we explore two controversial approaches (binning Anura genes into “supergenes” and inclusion of only rapidly evolving sites), using new data from hyloid frogs. Hyloid Biogeography frogs encompass ∼53% of frog species, including true toads (Bufonidae), glassfrogs (Centrolenidae), poison Naive binning frogs (Dendrobatidae), and treefrogs (Hylidae). Many hyloid families are well-established, but relationships Phylogenomics among these families have remained difficult to resolve. We generated a dataset of ultraconserved elements Statistical binning (UCEs) for 50 ingroup species, including 18 of 19 hyloid families and up to 2214 loci spanning > 800,000 aligned base pairs.
