Santos IBS Mission Statement Biogeography, the study of the geography of life, has a long and distinguished history, and one interwoven with that of ecology and evolutionary biology. Traditionally viewed as the study of geographic distributions, modern biogeography now explores a great diversity of patterns in the geographic variation of nature — from physiological, morphological and genetic variation among individuals and populations to differences in the diversity and composition of biotas along geographic gradients. Given its interdisciplinary and integrative nature, biogeography is now broadly recognized as a unifying field that provides a holistic understanding of the relation- ships between the earth and its biota. Our abilities to develop more general theories of the di- versity of life, and to conserve biological diversity may well rest on insights from the field of bio- geography. Therefore, the International Biogeography Society (IBS) was founded in 2001, and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2002, with the following mission: Foster communication and collaboration between biogeographers in disparate academic fields - scientists who would otherwise have little opportunity for substantive interaction and collaboration. Increase both the awareness and interests of the scientific community and the lay public in the contributions of biogeographers. Promote the training

MAZER, RUTH G. SHAW, AND ARTHUR E. WEIS In rare circumstances, scientists have been able to revive dormant propagules from ancestral populations and rear them with their descendants to make inferences about evolutionary responses to environmental change. Although this is a powerful approach to directly assess microevolution, it has previously depended entirely upon fortuitous conditions to preserve ancestral material.

Pseudoscorpions are among the most diverse of the smaller arachnid orders, but there is relatively little information about the distribution of these tiny animals, especially in Neotropical caves. Here, we map the distribution of the pseudoscorpions in Brazilian caves and record 12 families and 22 genera based on collections analyzed over several years, totaling 239 caves from 13 states in Brazil. Among them, two families (Atemnidae and Geogarypidae) with three genera (Brazilatemnus Muchmore, 1975, Paratemnoides Harvey, 1991 and Geogarypus Chamberlin, 1930) are recorded for the first time in cave habitats as, well as seven other genera previously unknown for Brazilian caves (Olpiolum Beier, 1931, Pachyolpium Beier 1931, Tyrannochthonius Chamberlin, 1929, Lagynochthonius Beier, 1951, Neocheiridium Beier 1932, Ideoblothrus Balzan, 1892 and Heterolophus To¨mo¨sva´ry, 1884). These genera are from families already recorded in this habitat, which have their distributional ranges expanded for all other previously recorded genera. Additionally, we summarize records of Pseudoscorpiones based on previously published literature and our data for 314 caves.

  • Australian Society of Herpetologists
    1 THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY OF HERPETOLOGISTS INCORPORATED NEWSLETTER 48 Published 29 October 2014 2 Letter from the editor This letter finds itself far removed from last year’s ASH conference, held in Point Wolstoncroft, New South Wales. Run by Frank Lemckert and Michael Mahony and their team of froglab strong, the conference featured some new additions including the hospitality suite (as inspired by the Turtle Survival Alliance conference in Tuscon, Arizona though sadly lacking of the naked basketball), egg and goon race and bouncing castle (Simon’s was a deprived childhood), as well as the more traditional elements of ASH such as the cricket match and Glenn Shea’s trivia quiz. May I just add that Glenn Shea wowed everyone with his delightful skin tight, anatomically correct, and multi-coloured, leggings! To the joy of everybody in the world, the conference was opened by our very own Hal Cogger (I love you Hal). Plenary speeches were given by Dale Roberts, Lin Schwarzkopf and Gordon Grigg and concurrent sessions were run about all that is cutting edge in science and herpetology. Of note, award winning speeches were given by Kate Hodges (Ph.D) and Grant Webster (Honours) and the poster prize was awarded to Claire Treilibs. Thank you to everyone who contributed towards an update and Jacquie Herbert for all the fantastic photos. By now I trust you are all preparing for the fast approaching ASH 2014, the 50 year reunion and set to have many treats in store. I am sad to not be able to join you all in celebrating what is sure to be, an informative and fun spectacle.

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).
