I remember well collecting Gastrotheca riobam bae in the city of Quito, carefully pulling Gastrotheca ochoai from spiny bromeliads on hot and dry mountainside in southern Peru, and following the eyeshine of an Amphignathodon guentheri high in a tree across a seemingly impassable stream in Ecuador. Marsupial frogs (Hemiphractidae, six genera, 104 species) are a fascinating clade in which females brood developing embryos on the dorsum in modes ranging from simple adherence to the dorsum, to a closed dorsal pouch, to pouches within the body cavity behind the peritoneal layer. Amazingly, in some species Duellman used specimens and data from 78 females give birth to feeding tadpoles and in institutions; this depth of coverage is increasingly others to froglets. Species range from Panama to rare, as most taxonomic treatments tend to focus Bolivia and southeast Brazil, inhabiting a variety only on a few collections. Despite being a of habitats and elevations including rainforest, monograph, the introductory chapters are easy reading, concisely informative, and will be forest, páramo, and puna, from sea level to 4360 interesting to a diverse audience. m (see Chapter 8).

A Phylogenetic and Spatial Approach
UNDERSTANDING AMPHIBIAN VULNERABILITY TO EXTINCTION: A PHYLOGENETIC AND SPATIAL APPROACH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah J. Corey, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Approved by: Dissertation Committee: Dr. Amanda Rodewald, Advisor _______________________________ Dr. Kendra McSweeney Advisor Evolution, Ecology, & Organismal Dr. Andrea Wolfe Biology Dr. Darla Munroe ABSTRACT In the global extinction crisis currently underway, threats to biodiversity are not simply limited to species with particular risks in particular cases. Biodiversity will be increasingly affected by the wholesale decline of entire clades. In the face of this crisis, with amphibians ranking at the top of all vertebrates in the rate of extinctions, there is a great need for macroecological studies addressing three key areas of species declines. The processes that put species at great risk for extinction may be associated with 1) environmental factors, 2) spatially structured, or geographic effects, and 3) evolutionary predispositions to those processes (phylogenetic structure in vulnerability). I present a collection of work to address primarily the phylogenetic and geographic components of species vulnerability. First, I construct a theoretical foundation for using phylogenetic comparative methods for conservation assessments, emphasizing the importance of evolutionarily specific parameters and trees. I prescribe a greater conservation focus on understanding the severity of clade-level threats and potential data deficient species vulnerability, and identify evolutionary scenarios with the greatest return on resource investments. Second, I identify autocorrelated threats in the amphibian tree of life representing potential evolutionary predispositions to enigmatic rapid declines and Redlist threatened status in the superfamily Hyloidea. -

AMPHIBIANS OF THE NEOTROPICAL REALM Cochranella vozmedianoi (Data Deficient) is Federico Bolanos, Fernando Castro, Claudia Cortez, Ignacio De la Riva, Taran a poorly known species endemic to Cerro El Grant, Blair Hedges, Ronald Heyer, Roberto Ibaiiez, Enrique La Marca, Esteban Humo, in the Peninsula de Paria, in northern Lavilla, Debora Leite Silvano, Stefan Loiters, Gabriela Parra Olea, Steffen Venezuela. It is a glass frog from the Family Reichle, Robert Reynolds, Lily Rodriguez, Georgina Santos Barrera, Norman Centrolenidae that inhabits tropical humid Scott, Carmen Ubeda, Alberto Veloso, Mark Wilkinson, and Bruce Young forests, along streams. It lays its eggs on the upper side of leaves overhanging streams. The larvae fall into the stream below after hatch- THE GEOGRAPHIC AND HUMAN CONTEXT ing. © Juan Manuel Guayasamin The Neotropical Realm includes all of mainland South America, much of Mesoamerica (except parts of northern Mexico), all of the Caribbean islands, and extreme southern Texas and Florida in the United States. South America has a long history of geographic isolation that began when this continent separated from other Southern Hemisphere land masses 40-30 Ma. The Andes, one of the largest mountain ranges on earth and reaching 6,962m at Acongagua in Argentina, began to uplift 80-65Ma as South America drifted west from Africa. The other prominent mountainous areas on the continent are the Tepuis of the Guianan Shield, and the highlands of south- eastern Brazil. The complex patterns of wet and dry habitats on the continent are the result of an array of factors, including the climatic effects of cold ocean currents interacting with these mountain ranges, orographic barriers to winds carrying humidity within the continent, and the constant shifting of the intertropical convergence zone, among others. -

INTRODUCTION N the past 30 years the rapid development and steady improvement of molecular methods I have had and still are having a paramount impact on almost all fields of biology. Population genetics, evolutionary biology, and phylogenetic systematics are disciplines that particularly have benefited from the rise of molecular biology and have faced a tremendous evolution by themselves. Perceptions of fundamental questions in biology concerned with processes and causes of evolution and diversification of life are tightly connected with advances in molecular biology.
