Methods We updated distribution maps for 41 taxa, using species distribution A Journal of Conservation Biogeography models and a revised presence-records database. We estimated evolutionary dis- tinctiveness (ED) for each taxon using recent molecular and morphological phylogenies and weighted these values with two measures of extinction risk: percentages of habitat loss and IUCN threat status. We mapped phylogenetic diversity and richness levels and compared phylogenetic distances in pitviper subsets selected via endemism, richness, threat, habitat loss, biome type and the presence in biodiversity hotspots to values obtained in randomized assemblages. Results Evolutionary distinctiveness differed according to the phylogeny used, and conservation assessment ranks varied according to the chosen proxy of extinction risk. Two of the three main areas of high phylogenetic diversity were coincident with areas of high species richness. A third area was identified only by one phylogeny and was not a richness hotspot. Faunal assemblages identified by level of endemism, habitat loss, biome type or the presence in biodiversity hotspots captured phylogenetic diversity levels no better than random assem- blages.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

To unravel the venom composition of this species, the venom proteins were digested by trypsin and subjected to nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for proteomic profiling. Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP) dominated the venom proteome by 48.42% of total venom proteins, with a characteristic distribution of P-III: P-II classes in a ratio of 2:1, while P-I class was undetected.

  • Tiago Rodrigues Simões
    Diapsid Phylogeny and the Origin and Early Evolution of Squamates by Tiago Rodrigues Simões A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Tiago Rodrigues Simões, 2018 ABSTRACT Squamate reptiles comprise over 10,000 living species and hundreds of fossil species of lizards, snakes and amphisbaenians, with their origins dating back at least as far back as the Middle Jurassic. Despite this enormous diversity and a long evolutionary history, numerous fundamental questions remain to be answered regarding the early evolution and origin of this major clade of tetrapods. Such long-standing issues include identifying the oldest fossil squamate, when exactly did squamates originate, and why morphological and molecular analyses of squamate evolution have strong disagreements on fundamental aspects of the squamate tree of life. Additionally, despite much debate, there is no existing consensus over the composition of the Lepidosauromorpha (the clade that includes squamates and their sister taxon, the Rhynchocephalia), making the squamate origin problem part of a broader and more complex reptile phylogeny issue. In this thesis, I provide a series of taxonomic, phylogenetic, biogeographic and morpho-functional contributions to shed light on these problems. I describe a new taxon that overwhelms previous hypothesis of iguanian biogeography and evolution in Gondwana (Gueragama sulamericana). I re-describe and assess the functional morphology of some of the oldest known articulated lizards in the world (Eichstaettisaurus schroederi and Ardeosaurus digitatellus), providing clues to the ancestry of geckoes, and the early evolution of their scansorial behaviour.

CISNEROS-HEREDIA & MARIA OLGA BORJA & DANIEL PROANO & JEAN-MARC TOUZET KURZFASSUNG Spärlich sind die Kenntnisse über Grubenottern der Gattung Bothrocophias. Die vorliegende Arbeit enthält Informationen zu drei Bothrocophias Arten aus Ecuador: Bothrocophias campbelli (FREIRE LASCANO, 1991), B. hyoprora (AMARAL, 1935) und B. microphthalmus (COPE, 1875), einschließlich Angaben zur geographischen und vertikalen Verbreitung, zu Nachweisen in den Provinzen, sympatrischen Grubenotternarten, Aktivitätsmustern, Verhalten, Körpergröße, Fortpflanzungsbiologie, Nahrung und Lebensalter. Bothrocophias campbelli bewohnt die nördlichen, zentralen und südlichen Gebiete der pazifischen Andenabhänge Ecuadors zwischen 800 und 2000 m; Bothrocophias hyoprora kommt im nördlichen und südlichen Amazonastiefland und an den unteren östlichen Hän- gen der Anden Ecuadors zwischen 210 und 1500 m vor, Bothrocophias microphthalmus an deren Südosthängen zwischen 600 und 2350 m. Die Arbeit berichtet über den zweiten Fundortnachweis von B. campbelli in der Provinz Imbabura und den westlichsten Fundort von B. hyoprora im Tal des Nangaritza Flusses. Das ympatrische Vorkom- men von B. hyoprora und B. microphthalmus im Makuma-Gebiet, Provinz Morona-Santiago, wird bestätigt, was die bisher bekannte obere Verbreitungsgrenze von B. microphthalmus auf zumindest 600 m anhebt. Das Weiß- bauch-Mausopossum Marmosops noctivagus wird erstmals als Beutetier von B. microphthalmus beschrieben. Die neuen Daten über die Fortpflanzungsbiologie von Grubenottern der Gattung Bothrocophias umfassen Wurfgröße und Körperlänge Neugeborener bei B.
