Ray La Mica Biological Station Daniel Ariano-Sánchez Universidad del Valle de Guatemala LAYOUT AND DESIGN Francine Eden Platt Eden Graphics, Inc. E-mail: fran@edengraphics.net OUR COVER IMAGE Adam G. Clause earned his bachelor’s degree in 2010 at the University of California, Davis. Post-graduation, he worked for several years as a technician in H. Bradley Shaffer’s laboratory at UC Davis (now at UCLA), and now is a Ph.D. student advised by John C. Maerz at the University of Georgia. Adam’s dissertation research centers on the spatial ecology and conservation biology of gerrhonotine anguid lizards, with a particular focus on California’s Elgaria panamintina and the Latin American genus Abronia. He maintains broad interests in Neotropical herpetology, social perceptions of herpetofauna, and natural history. The cover image illustrates an adult Bolitoglossa platydactyla, collected from Las Porfiadas, Municipio de Soledad Atzompa, Veracruz, Mexico, at 1,350 m elevation. As as currently ' © Flora Luo recognized, this taxon is widely distributed across eastern Mexico from southern San Luis Potosi to western Chiapas. The individual shown was captured by a young boy under a stone at the base of a banana plant, among houses in a rural town bordering tropical scrub forest.
