ANNOUNCEMENT The Universtty of Kansas Science Bulletin (continuation of the Kansas Uni­ versity Quarterly) is an outlet for scholarly scientific investigations carried out at the University of Kansas or by University faculty and students. Since its inception, volwnes of the Bulletin have been variously issued as single bound volumes, as two or three multi-paper parts or as series of individual papers. Issuance is at irregular intervals, with each volume prior to volume 50 approxi­ mately 1000 pages in length. The supply of all volumes of the Kansas University Quarterly is now ex­ hausted. However, most volumes of the University of Kansas Science Bulletin are still available and are offered, in exchange for similar publications, to learned societies, colleges and universities and other institutions, or may be purchased at $15.00 per volume. Where some of these volumes were issued in parts, in­ dividual parts are priced at the rate of 1 Yz cents per page. Current policy, ini­ tiated with volume 46, is to issue individual papers as published. Such separata from volumes 46 to 49 may likewise be purchased individually at the rate of I Yz cents per page. Effective with volume 50, page size has been enlarged, reducing the length of each volume to about 750 pages, with separata available at the rate of 2¢ per page. Subscriptions for forthcoming volumes may be entered at the rate of $15.00 per volume. All communications regarding ex­ changes, sales and subscriptions should be addressed to the ExcHANGE LIBRARIAN, UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES, LAWRENCE, KANSAS 66045. Reprints of individual papers for personal use by investigators are available gratis for most recent and many older issues of the Bulletin. Such requests should be directed to the author. The International Standard Serial Nwnber of this publication is US ISSN 0022-8850. Editor Charles R. Wyttenbacb Editorial Board Kenneth B. Armitage Richard F. Johnston Paul A. Kitos Charles D.

We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

Received 13 February 2014; reviews returned 17 April 2014; accepted 13 June 2014 Downloaded from Associate Editor: Adrian Paterson Abstract.—Amphibia comprises over 7000 extant species distributed in almost every ecosystem on every continent except Antarctica. Most species also show high specificity for particular habitats, biomes, or climatic niches, seemingly rendering long-distance dispersal unlikely. Indeed, many lineages still seem to show the signature of their Pangaean origin, approximately 300 Ma later. To date, no study has attempted a large-scale historical-biogeographic analysis of the group to understand the distribution of extant lineages. Here, I use an updated chronogram containing 3309 species (~45% of http://sysbio.oxfordjournals.org/ extant diversity) to reconstruct their movement between 12 global ecoregions. I find that Pangaean origin and subsequent Laurasian and Gondwanan fragmentation explain a large proportion of patterns in the distribution of extant species. However, dispersal during the Cenozoic, likely across land bridges or short distances across oceans, has also exerted a strong influence.

INTRODUCTION Until 1985, when Darrel Frost published the Catalogue of the Amphibians Species of de World, no comprehensive list of amphibians of Peru existed. Now, Rodriguez et al . (1993) have plublished a preliminary list of Amphibians from Peru with species distribution in ecological regions. Herein, I list all the species of amphibians reported from Peru and annotations on some species listed for Rodriguez et al . (op. cit.). The present list contains the following (family/genus/species): in Gymnophiona: 5/6/16, in Caudata: 1/1/3, and in Anura: 9/44/298, the total is 15/51/316.

We have identified and studied the podoplanin coding sequence in 201 species of vertebrates, ranging from cartilaginous fishes to mammals. The N-terminal signal peptide is coded by the first exon; the transmembrane and intracellular domains are coded by the third exon (except for the last amino acid, coded in another exon with a long 3’-UTR). The extracellular domain has undergone variation during evolutionary time, having a single exon in cartilaginous fishes, teleosts, coelacanths and lungfishes. In amphibians, this single exon has been split in two, and in amniotes, another exon has been acquired, although it has been secondarily lost in Squamata.
