About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization. -

Both series were found- ed by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and in- dividuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum tech- niques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occa- sional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Assessing the threat of two deadly fungal pathogens (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans) to amphibian biodiversity and the impacts of human- mediated movement of an invasive carrier species and climate change A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Environmental Science and Engineering by Tiffany Ann Yap 2016 © Copyright by Tiffany Ann Yap 2016 Abstract of the Dissertation Assessing the threat of two deadly fungal pathogens (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans) to amphibian biodiversity and the impacts of human- mediated movement of an invasive carrier species and climate change by Tiffany Ann Yap Doctor of Environmental Science and Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Richard F. Ambrose, Co-Chair Professor Vance T. Vredenburg, Co-Chair Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a fungal pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians, has infected >500 species and caused declines and extinctions in >200 species. Recently, a second deadly fungal pathogen that also causes chytridiomycosis, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was discovered. The presence of these lethal pathogens in international trade threatens amphibian diversity. In this dissertation, I use a novel modeling approach to predict disease risk from Bd and/or Bsal to amphibian populations in North America and Asia by incorporating pathogen habitat suitability, host availability, the potential presence of an invasive carrier species, and pathogen invasion history. First I identify Bsal threat to North American salamanders to be greatest in the Southeast US, the West Coast, and highlands of Mexico. I then ii investigate the compounded risk of Bd and Bsal in North America and find highest relative risk in those same areas and in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the northern Rocky Mountains. -

An analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Revised 18 May 2012 from 105 frogs revealed remarkably low levels of genetic diversity in individuals inhabiting the central Accepted 21 May 2012 United States and northern Mexico. We found that this widespread matrilineal lineage is divergent (ca. Available online 1 June 2012 2% in mtDNA) from haplotypes that originate from the western United States and western coast of Mex- ico. Using a dataset that included all five species of Gastrophryne and both species of the closely related Keywords: genus Hypopachus, we investigated the phylogenetic placement of G. olivacea. This analysis recovered Amphibian strong support that G. olivacea, the tropically distributed G. elegans, and the temperately distributed G. mtDNA 16S carolinensis constitute a monophyletic assemblage. However, the placement of G. pictiventris and G. usta Rhodopsin render Gastrophryne paraphyletic with respect to Hypopachus.
