Reflections On Recycling, Pollution And History Or, How To Beat The High Cost Of Living, Richard B. Philp
Reflections On Recycling, Pollution And History Or, How To Beat The High Cost Of Living, Richard B. Philp
Richard B. Philp
Lessons learned during the Great Depression and World War II may have to be relearned. The three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) were essential then to individual and national survival. A fourth R, repair, was practised as well. These lessons, if relearned, will stand us in good stead when dealing with the current economic climate as well as with problems of pollution and global warming.

The writers describe a program to communicate undergraduate research results to local K–12 students in California. They describe the development of a curriculum and an outreach effort to convey findings of ecological field work undertaken by Pepperdine University students. They then describe program implementation and program benefits.
A New Species Of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) From Peru, With Comments On The Osteology, Edgar Lehr, Linda Trueb
A New Species Of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) From Peru, With Comments On The Osteology, Edgar Lehr, Linda Trueb
Edgar Lehr
A new species of Phrynopus (Anura, Strabomantidae) from Peru, with comments on the osteology of the genus. A new, small species of Phrynopus is described from the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental just north of the Rio Huallaga in central Peru. The species resembles P. montium but is distinguished from it and other congeners by its spatulate snout. The anterior end of the maxillary arcade is broadly rounded in dorsal view, and composed of wide premaxillae that bear extraordinarily large alary processes that are deflected posteriorly at an acute angle. The configuration of the premaxillae accounts for the wide, …
Notes On Variation In Anolis Boettgeri Boulenger 1911, Assessment Of The Status Of Anolis Albimaculatus Henle And Ehrl 1991, And Description Of A New Species Of Anolis (Squamata: Iguania) Similar To Anolis Boettgeri, Edgar Lehr, Steven Poe, Christian Yanez-Miranda
Notes On Variation In Anolis Boettgeri Boulenger 1911, Assessment Of The Status Of Anolis Albimaculatus Henle And Ehrl 1991, And Description Of A New Species Of Anolis (Squamata: Iguania) Similar To Anolis Boettgeri, Edgar Lehr, Steven Poe, Christian Yanez-Miranda
Edgar Lehr
We describe a new species of Anolis from a high-elevation locality in the Department of Cusco, Peru. This species is similar to Anolis boettgeri but differs in characters of scalation and coloration. We reanalyze Anolis albimaculatus and find this species to be a synonym of A. boettgeri. We describe variation in A. boettgeri based on topotypical material, including the first described males of the species. Phylogenetic analysis of the new form places it within the Dactyloallatifrons clade of South American “Alpha" Anolis.

A Minute New Ecuadorian Andean Frog (Anura: Strabomantidae, Pristilnantis), Edgar Lehr, Luis Coloma

We describe a new species of Pristimantis from a cloud forest at 2450–2800 m in the Cordillera Oriental in southern Ecuador (Zamora Chinchipe). The new species has a maximum snout–vent length of 17.9 mm (average SVL of 21 males 5 12.3 mm 6 1.2, and of 19 females 5 15.9 mm 6 1.3). This new species is the second smallest frog from Ecuador and smallest Pristimantis. Morphologically and phylogenetically, the new species is similar to P. caeruleonotus and P. colodactylus. It is distinguished from them and its congeners by its size, tuberculation, a distinct color pattern consisting of tan blotches …

A New Species Of Bryophryne (Anura: Strabomantidae) From Southern Peru, Edgar Lehr, Alessandro Catenazzi
Edgar Lehr
A new species of Bryophryne from southern Peru (Cusco Region) is described. Specimens were found in the leaf litter of cloud forest at elevations of 2350-3215 m. The new species has a maximum snout-vent length of 21.9 mm in adult females, 18.9 mm in adult males and is the smallest species of the genus. It lacks a tympanum and dentigerous processes of vomers, has dorsolateral folds, and males without vocal slits and without nuptial pads. The new species is most similar to B. bustamantei but differs in being smaller, having discontinuous dorsolateral folds, the males lacking vocal slits, and an …
A New Species Of Atelopus (Anura: Bufonidae) From The Cordillera Oriental Of Central Peru, Edgar Lehr, Stefan Lotters, Mikael Lundberg
A New Species Of Atelopus (Anura: Bufonidae) From The Cordillera Oriental Of Central Peru, Edgar Lehr, Stefan Lotters, Mikael Lundberg
Edgar Lehr
A new species of Atelopus is described from three localities near Oxapampa between 1700 and 2200 m elevation in central Peru, representing the first record for the genus in the Department of Pasco. The new species is readily distinguished from all congeners by its small size (maximum SVL 22.1 mm in males), numerous gray coni on dorsal and lateral body surfaces, and a coloration pattern consisting of a cream dorsolateral stripe, narrow dark brown middorsal stripe, arms and legs dorsally dark brown with grayish brown reticulation, and ventral surfaces of hands and feet reddish orange. Females are unknown.
