EDITORIAL El Boletín Científico del Museo de Historia Natural (Centro de Museos), fue propuesto por Ricardo Walker, en 1995 y formalizado como órgano difusor en 1996. Tiene como propósito, divulgar las investigaciones de historia natural, centradas en tres frentes primordiales: botánica, zoología y conservación; no obstante, para aumentar el espectro de artículos afines a publicar, hemos modificado este último apartado ampliándolo, a biodiversidad y conservación en agroecosistemas, debido a que incluso estos, sorprendentemente, tienen una buena riqueza en Biota, a pesar de la intervención humana, que tanto afecta los paisajes y bosques naturales, lo cual es necesario divulgar. La revista desde 1996 ha sufrido cambios sustanciales de formato, identificándose, con las tendencias más aceptadas en materia de publicación, de la actualidad. En efecto, dicha transformación, comenzó en el volumen 6 de 2002, con el cambio de fuente para los textos, afinándose hacia una mejor presentación y a partir del volumen 10 de 2006, con una diagramación e iconografía, que la han hecho singular entre las revistas colombianas. Lo anterior se refleja en la impecable presentación de las carátulas, con fotografías nítidas y llamativas, además de los separadores de páginas, adornados con antiguas ilustraciones, provenientes del libro América pintoresca, publicado en 1884, lo que viene siendo, como una marca registrada dentro de la revista. Uno de los aciertos más importantes, es el haber clasificado al boletín, en el Sistema Nacional de Indexación y Homologación de Revistas Especializadas en Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (Publindex) liderado por COLCIENCIAS y cuya gestión, se comenzó en el año 2005. Esta labor dio pronto sus frutos puesto que la publicación quedo clasificada sucesivamente en las categorías C, B y A2, éxito logrado de acuerdo a criterios de calidad científica y editorial, obtenidos a través de los años. Por ello, el boletín, fue la primera publicación de la Universidad de Caldas, en haber logrado la categoría A2 de Publindex, dentro de las 17 que tiene nuestra alma mater. Un cierto grado de incertidumbre, nos queda ahora, frente a los índices de impacto internacional, los cuales constituyen otro desafío, debido a que el boletín, se “ha hecho a brazo partido” y no goza de un gran tiraje como para asegurar su amplia difusión en este sentido. Sin embargo una de las ventajas de la revista, es que ofrece una versión digital, que es posible consultar en: www.ucaldas.edu.co (sección de Revistas Científicas), con casi todos los PDFs gratuitos de los trabajos publicados, ofreciendo el conocimiento científico libre, sin restricciones, caso contrario, como sucede en otras revistas extranjeras que limitan su consulta, con engorrosas suscripciones. Los resultados no se han hecho esperar, debido a que el nombre del Boletín Científico de Historia Natural del Centro de Museos, ha sido citado por algunos de sus artículos y autores en las siguientes revistas nacionales e internacionales de prestigio que a continuación mencionamos en orden alfabético: Acta Agronómica; Acta Amazónica; Acta Biológica Colombiana; Actualidades Biológicas; Acta Zoológica Akadémia Scientiarum Hungaricae; Anales de la Sociedad Entomológica de Francia; Annals of Entomological Society of America; Biota Colombiana; Biodiversity Journal; Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica de Francia; Bulletin of Allyn Museum; Caldasia; Caribbean Journal of Science, ; CheckList Journal; Entomotrópica; Entomological Journal Society of Washington; Fragmenta Entomológica; Folia Entomologica Hungarica; Genus Journal; Insect Systematic and Evolution; Journal of Natural History; Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera; Lambillionea; Quadrifina; Neotropical Primates; Revista Francesa de Entomología; Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales; Revista Novedades Colombianas; Revista Colombiana de Entomología; Revista Brasileña de Entomología; Salamandra; Shilap revista de Lepidopterología; Species Phylogeny & Evolution; Tropical Lepidoptera Research y Zootaxa. Esperamos, con esto, que el boletín con este valioso reconocimiento, siga sirviendo de recurso para la publicación de diversas investigaciones, en flora y fauna, llamando la atención sobre la urgente necesidad de seguir preservando nuestro entorno natural.

Mass-length relationships diffe red significantly between the sexes (females being heavier) and among the species (T. marginata being least heavy). Mass-length relationships foreach species and sex were used to calculate the condition index (Cl) log (MIM'), where Mis observed mass and M' is mass predicted from length, which is equal to residuals fromthe regression of log Mon log length. It was possible to use the empirical mass-length relationships fromone population of T. hermanni to calculate Cl in other populations of substantially different adult size. The seasonal pattern of the Cl varied with latitude, with a sharper and later peak furthernorth, and habitat, declining more in summer at a xeric coastal site. The seasonal patterns of Cl in T. graeca and T. marginala were similar, with sharper and later peaks compared to T. hermanni. These seasonal patterns of Cl were related to differences in activity and food availability among species and sites. The variability of the Cl was similar in all three species, with most values between -0. 1 and +0. 1; seasonal variation was of relatively low amplitude, with a range of about 0.05 between the highest and lowest monthly means.

  • Current Trends in the Husbandry and Veterinary Care of Tortoises Siuna A
    Current trends in the husbandry and veterinary care of tortoises Siuna A. Reid BVMS CertAVP(ZooMed) MRCVS Presented to the BCG symposium at the Open University, Milton Keynes on 25th March 2017 Introduction Tortoises have been kept as pets for centuries but have recently gained even more popularity now that there has been an increase in the number of domestically bred tortoises. During the 1970s there was the beginning of a movement to change the law and also the birth of the British Chelonia Group. A small group of forward thinking reptile keepers and vets began to realise that more had to be done to care for and treat this group of pets. They also recognized the drawbacks of the legislation in place under the Department of the Environment, restricting the numbers of tortoises being imported to 100,000 per annum and a minimum shell length of 4 inches (10.2cm). Almost all tortoises were wild caught and husbandry and hibernation meant surviving through the summer in preparation for five to six months of hibernation. With the gradual decline in wild caught tortoises, this article compares the husbandry and veterinary practice then with today’s very different husbandry methods and the problems that these entail. Importation Tortoises have been imported for hundreds of years. The archives of the BCG have been used to loosely sum up the history of tortoise keeping in the UK. R A tortoise was bought for 2s/6d from a sailor in 1740 (Chatfield 1986) R Records show as early as the 1890s tortoises were regularly being brought to the UK R In 1951 250 surplus tortoises were found dumped in a street in London –an application for a ban was refused R In 1952 200,000 tortoises were imported R In 1978 the RSPCA prosecuted a Japanese restaurant for cooking a tortoise – boiled alive (Vodden 1983) R In 1984 a ban on importation of Mediterranean tortoises was finally approved 58 © British Chelonia Group + Siuna A.

  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

Zoological Studies 51(4): 526-535. The distributional history of the South American endemic genus Cyriocosmus (Araneae, Theraphosidae) was reconstructed, and a spatial analysis of vicariance was conducted. Results obtained with the software RASP (Reconstruct Ancestral State in Phylogenies), suggest that Cyriocosmus originated within an area currently represented by the biogeographical subregions of the Amazonian and Paramo Punan. We found 3 vicariant nodes: the 1st into the Amazonian-Caribbean, the 2nd into the Caribbean, and the 3rd into the Amazonian-Parana, Amazonian-Chacoan, and Amazonian-Parana and Chacoan. Using the Vicariance Inference Program we found that 1 vicariant node different from that obtained with RASP, and the hypothetical barriers for the clade were represented by the Voronoi lines in South America. In order to interpret biogeographical events that affected the genus Cyriocosmus, these results are contrasted with major geological events that occurred in South America, and also with previous biogeographical hypotheses.

  • A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance
    Chapter 21 A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance Juan C. Santos , Rebecca D. Tarvin , and Lauren A. O’Connell 21.1 Introduction Chemical defense has evolved multiple times in nearly every major group of life, from snakes and insects to bacteria and plants (Mebs 2002 ). However, among land vertebrates, chemical defenses are restricted to a few monophyletic groups (i.e., clades). Most of these are amphibians and snakes, but a few rare origins (e.g., Pitohui birds) have stimulated research on acquired chemical defenses (Dumbacher et al. 1992 ). Selective pressures that lead to defense are usually associated with an organ- ism’s limited ability to escape predation or conspicuous behaviors and phenotypes that increase detectability by predators (e.g., diurnality or mating calls) (Speed and Ruxton 2005 ). Defended organisms frequently evolve warning signals to advertise their defense, a phenomenon known as aposematism (Mappes et al. 2005 ). Warning signals such as conspicuous coloration unambiguously inform predators that there will be a substantial cost if they proceed with attack or consumption of the defended prey (Mappes et al. 2005 ). However, aposematism is likely more complex than the simple pairing of signal and defense, encompassing a series of traits (i.e., the apose- matic syndrome) that alter morphology, physiology, and behavior (Mappes and J.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.
