Una mirada crítica a la crisis de conservación de anfibios Esteban O. Lavilla UEL – Fundación Miguel Lillo-CONICET. Tucumán, Argentina. [email protected] Pasadas tres décadas desde la identificación de la crisis de conservación de anfibios, las herramientas brindadas por la biología han demostrado ser insuficientes para revertir el problema. Los motivos de este fracaso son complejos, y tienen que ver con numerosos factores que no siempre son tenidos en cuenta por los biólogos. Uno de ellos es que por más dedicados y esforzados que seamos en nuestra tarea conservacionista, y por bien desarrolladas que estén nuestras propuestas, no somos nosotros los tomadores de decisiones. Esto es así porque hoy, más que nunca, la conservación depende de políticas macroeconómicas globales que, con frecuencia, superan a los gobiernos nacionales. Esta presentación será la tercera en una secuencia que comenzó en los congresos de herpetología de Quito (Ecuador) y Concepción (Chile) en 2017, con las que se pretende reflexionar sobre las causas del deterioro, incluyendo la transformación de los recursos naturales en commodities que cotizan en bolsa, el patentamiento de seres vivos, los cambios en los modos de tenencia de la tierra y la ambición neoliberal por el lucro ilimitado. Estas y otras causas afines hacen que cada día se transformen inmensas superficies de alta diversidad en monocultivos transgénicos, se cambie naturaleza por hidrocarburos o por barros ricos en minerales, que a los bosques se los transforme en aserrín y a los cuerpos de agua en las cloacas de ocho mil millones... Este proceso, que comenzó a principios de la década de 1980, se vio acelerado en la segunda década del siglo XXI y el crecimiento exponencial del problema no vislumbra alcanzar una asíntota. Reflexionar sobre esto será el hilo conductor de esta exposición, con la esperanza que, antes que sea demasiado tarde, podamos llegar a quienes rigen nuestros estados nacionales para inducirlos a priorizar a la conservación y el bienestar de muchos sobre la codicia de unos cuantos. 7 I Congreso Boliviano de Herpetología 2018 Conferencias Magistrales Ignacio De la Riva Doctor en Biología por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1993) con una tesis sobre ecología de una comunidad de anfibios de Bolivia, es investigador del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas en el Departamento de Biodiversidad y Biología Evolutiva del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid). Especialista en sistemática y taxonomía de anfibios y reptiles tropicales, ha sido científico visitante en 16 centros de investigación de Europa, América, Asia y Australia, ha dirigido tres tesis doctorales y tres tesis de máster y es autor de 84 artículos de divulgación y 170 publicaciones científicas y técnicas (donde ha descrito cerca de 80 especies de anfibios y reptiles de África y América nuevas para la ciencia). Ha dirigido ocho proyectos de investigación, ha impartido medio centenar de conferencias y ha participado en 36 congresos internacionales, teniendo experiencia de campo en 40 países. En los últimos tiempos ha orientado parte de su investigación hacia dos problemas graves de conservación en el campo de la herpetología: la quitridiomicosis y el calentamiento global. Cuando todo esto y su vida familiar le dejan algo de tiempo, viaja, toca el violín y el saxo tenor, y escribe por placer. 8 I Congreso Boliviano de Herpetología 2018 BATRACOLOGÍA BOLIVIANA: TRES DÉCADAS DE PERSPECTIVA Ignacio De la Riva Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales-CSIC C/ José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, España [email protected] El conocimiento de la diversidad de los anfibios bolivianos ha evolucionado en las tres últimas décadas desde poco más de cien especies a las 272 de la actualidad, gracias al descubrimiento de especies nuevas para la ciencia y a nuevos registros para el país. En este período ha habido un gran desarrollo de estudios en sistemática de anfibios a nivel mundial, reflejado también en Bolivia. Para ello ha sido crucial el papel de la taxonomía integradora, que permite trabajar con bases más sólidas y ofrecer resultados más estables. Han sido muchos los cambios en la nomenclatura y clasificación de los anfibios bolivianos. Grupos de cuya diversidad y distribución antes se ignoraba casi todo, constituyen ahora ricos componentes de la fauna endémica del país. Hay una gran heterogeneidad de situaciones en cuanto a grado de conocimiento, problemas taxonómicos, conservación, etc. Se debe promover el estudio de los anfibios bolivianos y eliminar los distintos

  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

We sampled free-living marbled water frogs Telmatobius marmora- tus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Isla del Sol, Bolivia, for Bd using skin swabs and quantitative polymerase chain reactions. We detected Bd on 44% of T. marmoratus sampled. This is the first record of Bd in amphibians from waters associated with Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. These results fur- ther confirm the presence of Bd in Bolivia and substantiate the potential threat of this pathogen to the Critically Endangered, sympatric Titicaca water frog T. culeus and other Andean amphibians. KEY WORDS: Chytridiomycosis · Telmatobius marmoratus · Telmatobius culeus · Lake Titicaca · Bolivia · Andes Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher INTRODUCTION throughout South America, relatively little work has been published on Bd infections in Bolivia.

We studied the status of toads of the genus Rhinella collected in the southern Cordillera Azul, central Peru. Molecular analysis of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene revealed them to be members of the recently proposed Rhinella festae species group, and sister to R. lilyrodriguezae, a species known from northern areas of the Cordillera Azul. The new specimens are differentiated from R. lilyrodriguezae and other species of Rhinella by substantial genetic divergence in the studied gene fragment (> 5% uncorrected pairwise distance) and several qualitative morphological characters, provid- ing combined evidence for a divergent evolutionary lineage. We consequently describe the specimens from the southern part of the Cordillera Azul in Departamento Huánuco as a new species, Rhinella chullachaki sp.

These frogs are harvested from wild popula- tions. We report high prevalence of infection by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendroba- tidis in live frogs purchased at the main market in Cusco, Peru, from January 2008 to January 2010. We suggest that the transport of native anurans through the live frog trade could facilitate the spread of this fungus among Andean frogs. The tropical Andes are the most important biodiversity hotspot for amphibians. Because many neotropical taxa are known to be susceptible to chytridiomycosis, the presence of a large reservoir of infection in the frog trade poses a significant threat to amphibian conservation.

Corresponding editor: Dr Antonio Solé-Cava Abstract The Andean Altiplano has served as a complex setting throughout its history, driving dynamic processes of diversification in several taxa. We investigated phylogeographic processes in the Telmatobius marmoratus species complex occurring in this region by studying the geographic patterns of genetic variability, genealogies, and historical migration, using the cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene as a marker. DNA sequences from Telmatobius gigas and Telmatobius culeus, Bolivian species with an uncertain taxonomic status, were also included. Additionally, we evaluated the phylogenetic diversity (PD) represented within Chilean protected areas and the complementary contribution from unprotected populations.
