Lim B.K. Lim , Department of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen’s Park, Toronto, ON M5S 2C6, Canada. Draft Corresponding author: Burton K. Lim ( [email protected] ). 1 https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/genome-pubs Genome Page 2 of 56 Abstract: DNA barcoding is helping in discovering high levels of cryptic species and an underestimation of biodiversity in many groups of organisms. Although mammals are arguably the most studied and one of the least speciose taxonomic classes, the rate of species discovery is increasing and biased for small mammals on islands. An earlier study found bats in the Caribbean as a taxonomic and geographic deficiency in the International Barcode of Life initiative to establish a genetic reference database to enable specimen identification to species. Recent surveys in Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Martinique have documented and barcoded half of the 58 bat species known from the Caribbean. I analyze all available barcode data of Caribbean bats to investigate biogeography and cryptic species in the Neotropical region. Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 results in a phylogenetic tree with all but one speciesDraft as well-supported and reciprocally monophyletic.

    ______________________________________________________________________________ Distr. Limited LC/CAR/L.88 31 October 2006 Original: English GUYANA THE IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS CAUSED BY THE DECEMBER 2005 – FEBRUARY 2006 FLOODING In collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation and Agriculture (IICA) ___________________ This document has been reproduced without formal editing i PREFACE This report was prepared at the request of the Government of Guyana following the rainfall from December 2005 until February 2006 and the subsequent flooding that affected, in particular, Regions 2 and 5. The implications of the flooding posed the need, beyond the immediate humanitarian response, for a rapid assessment of the damages (impacts of assets) and losses (effects on economic and social flows) to determine at the more general level the implications on macroeconomic and fiscal performance and the social and environmental consequences.1 More specifically, the document examines the effects of the impact for the sustainable livelihood of the affected households and provides possible strategic interventions serving as inputs for the development of programmes and projects to mitigate the impact of flooding on the affected population. The assessment was carried out following the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) disaster assessment methodology as elaborated in the Handbook for Estimating the Socio-economic and Environmental Effects of Disasters (ECLAC, 2004, www.eclac.cl/mexico). The results of the assessment were also interpreted within the context of a sustainable livelihood analysis (SLA) framework. The SLA framework combines the concept of sustainability understood as comprising of four elements (environmental, economic, social and institutional) with that of livelihoods which in turn refer to the capabilities, assets and activities required for a means of living.
