9 Symposia

Saturday, 17 July 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. American Elasmobranch Society Integrative Elasmobranch Biology The goal of this symposium is to create a prospective, rather than retrospective, framework for the research that will be highlighted. Cutting-edge, interdisciplinary science will be featured with a primary focus on elasmobranchs in keeping with the mission of AES. Research by young scientists will be emphasized, primarily at the Assistant Professor or earli- er rank, in order to give these researchers the opportunity to showcase their work and to help to propel them forward as they work towards tenured positions in academia. Chairs: Dr. Lara Ferry & Dr. Erin (Misty) Paig-Tran

8:30 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. Herpetologists’ League/America Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Donn Rosen and the Assumptions that Inhibit Scientific Progress in Comparative Biology In the spirit of the Joint Meetings of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, this symposium of ichthyologists and herpetologists will address an eclectic thought provoking set of topics.

In 1985, the late eminent evolutionary biologist, biogeographer, systematist, and ichthyologist Donn Rosen was the Distinguished Visiting Professor of Biology at the University of Miami (FL). While at Miami, he gave a mini course on a wide range of topics in evolutionary biology and at the end of the course he gave the students a list of what he thought were assumptions that inhibit scientific progress in comparative biology. 2015 will mark the 30-year anniversary of Rosen’s ideas, which seems like an appropriate time to revisit Rosen’s list. A perusal of the assumptions reveals a list with continued relevance. It is interesting to wonder whether anything has changed in comparative biology in the past 30 years, and examination of these assumptions will surely address that. The parameters that circumscribe this symposium are not so simple as typical symposia. It will not be data driven. The goal of the symposium is to present novel thoughts and insights on Rosen’s ideas. In essence, the assumptions are Rosen’s contribution to skepticism in comparative biology and thus transcend organismal group boundaries. The contents of the symposium should be relevant to any comparative biologists and the contents should be provocative to any biologist.

The assumptions that inhibit scientific progress in comparative biology as listed by Rosen ranged from the general (“Scientists are more objective than other people.” “Ultimate causes are knowable.”) to much more specific, addressing topics in Evolutionary Theory (“Competition Theory is important and well formulated.” and “Adaptation scenarios have important general explanatory powers.”), Taxonomy (“Deliberately formulated paraphyletic groups are analytically useful.” “Convergence really occurs.”), and Biogeography (“Geographic hybridization and biotic mixing make vicariance analysis impossible.” “Some organisms are better indicators of biotic history than others depending on their ecology and means of dispersal.”). Many of these topics are still on the minds of biologists today. Chair: Brian Crother Co-Chair: Lynne R. Parenti

8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Herpetologists’ League/America Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Donn Rosen and the Assumptions that Inhibit Scientific Progress in Comparative Biology Continued from Saturday. Chair: Larry Page Co-Chairs: Jonathan Armbruster & Richard Mayden

10 Symposia

Sunday, 19 July 8:00 a.m.- 3:45 p.m. American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists A Symposium on the All Cypriniformes Species Inventory, an International Project The NSF-funded All Cypriniformes Species Inventory was initiated in 2010 and will be completed in 2015. It has accelerated the rate of discovery and description of cypriniform fishes, expanded our knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships of cypriniforms, increased the capacity for systematic research in other countries through student training and establishing long- term collaborations, including conferences in Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, Burundi, and China, led to the formation of the Asian Society of Ichthyologists, and made available large numbers of specimens and tissues of freshwater fishes, including many species never before collected, in permanent collections in US and foreign institutions. This symposium will report on the varied and important products resulting from global inventories and phylogenetic studies of diverse clades of organisms. Chair: Larry Page Co-Chairs: Jonathan Armbruster & Richard Mayden

8:00 a.m.– 2:30 p.m. Southwest Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation SWPARC: Conservation programs for reptiles and amphibians in the Southwest Southwest Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (SWPARC) is a regional working group of Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC). PARC is an inclusive partnership dedicated to the conservation of herpetofauna–reptiles and amphibians–and their habitats. The Southwest United States is home to the world’s largest rattlesnake diversity and contains some of North America’s most threatened and rare frog species. The Southwest faces a number of conservation challenges, including ongoing drought and water resource consumption, habitat destruction, as well as the introduction of crayfish, bullfrogs, and non-native fish into amphibian and reptile habitat. These symposia will focus on collaborative initiatives for reptile and amphibian conservation efforts specifically for species native to the Southwest region. The ultimate goal of these presentations is to inform colleagues of regional herpetological conservation efforts and to inspire others “to conserve amphibians, reptiles and their habitats as integral parts of our ecosystem and culture through proactive and coordinated public/private partnerships”. Chair: Kim Lovich Co-Chair: Michell Christman

1:45-4:15 p.m. American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Transforming chemical ecology: from molecules to communities A central goal of chemical ecology is to understand how interactions among organisms are mediated by natural products, and this goal has provided a framework for some of the most exciting advances in ecology and evolutionary biology, such as understanding diffuse coevolution between plants and animals. While the field has had profound influences on various disciplines, from ecology and biochemistry to physiology and pharmacology, it has effectively stagnated in the past few decades, as most chemical ecologists work in isolation on a few well characterized molecules. This symposium will bring together a diverse set of researchers in herpetology, ichthyology, chemistry, and genomics, to reinvigorate, resynthesize, and advance chemical ecology by integrating the technical and conceptual advances in their respective fields. The three major themes of the symposium will be: 1) using metabolomic approaches to understand chemical diversity and synthesis in natural systems; 2) using genomic approaches to understand functional and population genetics of chemically mediated systems; and 3) developing new approaches to understand the interaction ecology of chemically mediated systems. Chair: Chris R. Feldman Co-Chair: Alan H. Savitzky

11 Workshops

Saturday, 18 July 12:00-1:30 p.m. AES Graduate Student Workshop Integrative Biology: What it is and how it can benefit your research Room: Carson 2 The 2015 AES student workshop will focus on integrative biology, complementing this year’s symposium on the same topic. The importance of integrative biology in the current research climate is underscored by a movement of some graduate programs shifting their degrees from biology to integrative biology, and by the funding priorities of the NSF (i.e. Integrative Organismal Systems). The student workshop will provide the opportunity for students to interact with a panel of experts to learn about integrative biology, the various applications of integrative biology research, and how students can incorporate these applications into their own projects. Topics for discussion may include introducing integrative biology, the importance of integrative biology and how it can be used to advance the study of elasmobranchs, and the potential benefits to students who take an integra- tive approach to their research. Further discussion might focus on how students can incorporate both integrative and interdisciplinary approaches in their research, the benefits of collaborations, and the potential benefits for strengthening their careers and developing their future research programs. Panelists: Dr. Nick Wegner, Dr. Andy Nosal, Dr. Yannis Papastamatiou

12:00-1:30 p.m. HL Graduate Student Workshop Research Resources: Field Stations, Museums, and Managed Lands Room: Shasta 2 Meet with fellow herpetologists who have experience working in field stations, museums, and managed lands. As graduate students, these resources can be invaluable, but often can be mystifying. How does one find out about possible resources? What are the best ways to utilize these resources? How can financially restricted students get the most out of using these resources? Panelists will include curators, recently graduated students, and field station managers. Questions will be collected prior to the panel on Facebook and Twitter, but participants should be prepared to come with more questions! Lunch will be provided. Panelists: Rob Lovich, Mo Donnelly, Dawn Wilson, Mike Westphal, Rob Denton

12 Workshops

Sunday, 19 July

12:00-1:30 p.m. ASIH Graduate Student Workshop Ambassadors for Science: Responsibly bridging the gap between the lab and the public Room: McKinley Room The goal of this workshop is to get students to consider how to act as effective ambassadors for their field, their work, and their study organism(s). Panelists will discuss their thoughts on how to broadly communicate science beyond the lab, museum, university, or field station. Ideally, graduate students will come away from this workshop with a fresh perspective on topics such as outreach/ education, how to professionally approach hot-button issues (such as handling dangerous animals, threats to conservation, evolution, etc.), and the importance of maintaining a positive public image. Panelists: Dr. Mo Donnelly, Chris Beachy, David Shiffman

Monday, 20 July 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. SWPARC Workshop #1 Student Workshop: Getting Started With Your Field Work Room: Crystal 1 This workshop combines lecture, discussion, and demonstrations that introduce participants to the process of starting a field research project. Topics will include: permit applications, IACUC / Animal Handling/Care protocols, species selection and potential conservation implications, biosecurity protocol (including tools/equipment), and best practices for recording field notes and data.

12:00-1:30 p.m. SWPARC Workshop #2 Venomous Reptiles Workshop: Safety Practices and Myth Busting Room: Crystal 1 Description: This workshop combines lecture, discussion, and demonstrations that introduce participants to safe handling techniques for venomous reptiles. Topics will include: safety equipment, handling techniques, species identification, and first aid

The Song Meter SM3 is a ffullyully ruggedized, long-de-long-de- ployment bioacoustics rrecorder.ecorder. It’s tthehe ononlyly recorder of its kind that can simultaneouslsimultaneouslyy record any combination of herpetological,petological, avian, terres-terres- trial and/or marine life. FromFrom innova tive recordingrecording features, to massive dataa storage capacity, to a significant improvementnt in deplodeploymentyment time, the new SM3 makes acousticic data capture easier and more cost effective thann ever bbefore.efore. Choose a schedule or create your own.n. The SM3 comes with out-of-the box recording programs;programs; includinincludingg daytime, night time, and continuous recordingng schedules with automatic configuration. To begin making recordingscordings justjust pick a desired schedule and press the Start button. Or,Or, createcreate customized, sophisticated schedules and settingsttings to suit your exact needs. Record for months autonomously. The SM3’s new power circuitry increases deployment time by 20% over our SM2+ recorder. To be specific, the SM3 can record up to 260 hours of acoustic data with superbb detail with 4 Alkaline batteries. That means lon-on- ger deployments and fewer trips into the field.ld. Capture more than a terabyte of vocalizationlization data and analyze it quickly. The SM3 is compatible with SDHC and SDXCC carcards.ds. ComCombinedbined withwith thethe SM3’s adaptive triggering and compression, storage capacity exceeds a terabyte. That means more vocalization data with vast amounts of detail.

When you need to analyze your data quickly and efficiently, our Song Scope software will let you visualize sounds on large temporal scales, so you can measure sound energy in months and wildlifeacoustics.com/jmih years instead of seconds.
