The 50th Anoivertary Mefting AssociAtion for tropicAl Biology And - PDF document

introduction w elcome to ATBC • OTS-2013, a meeting to celebrate fjve decades of scientifjc research and education fostered by ATBC and OTS. We are grateful to Costa Rica and its academic institutions for their support fsom the founding of ATBC and OTS through today. Tie idea of a joint 50th anniversary celebration was hatched several years ago by W . John Kress (ATBC Executive Director, 1999-current) and Elizabeth Losos (OTS President and CEO and ATBC Secretary 2002-2009). Tie planning for the event was initiated by Julie Denslow (OTS 50th Anniversary Chair, and also ATBC Executive Director, 1989-1998) in late 2011. We acknowledge their exceptional contributions that have helped both organizations thrive as important players in tropical biology research, education and conservation. More importantly, we acknowledge the many scientists who founded the two organizations, and those who have kept them going. We are pleased that some of these long-timers are present at this meeting to share their perspectives. We have much to learn fsom them as we search for the future direction of tropical biology as a research discipline in the coming 50 years. Tie beauty and complexity of biologically diverse tropical nature continues to motivate many of us to work in the tropics just as it did 50 years ago. Yet nature’s gifus to the tropics, including its biodiversity, extraordinary evolutionary legacy, and unparalleled environmental services, are threatened more than ever by human activities in this globally interconnected world. What can we do better, or difgerently, to conserve what we love as tropical biologists? How should we share our scientifjc understanding to inform the society at large? In what area should we focus more of our efgorts? Perhaps, the general public has fjnally come to appreciate the value of tropical nature more than ever. If so, how can scientists contribute to the formulation of wise policies that balance nature conservation with the demands for food, water and energy fsom the 7.1 billion people that now reside on this planet? We are at a pivotal moment as atmospheric CO2 concentration skyrockets beyond the un- precedented benchmark of 400 ppm, and tropical forests and coral reefs are plunged into rapid climate changes that present so many unknowns. How can advances in basic and applied scientifjc research in the tropics, along with new technological discoveries, help humanity navigate through this uncertain time and leave these evolutionary and ecological treasures for the next generation? How can we bridge natural sciences, social sciences, economic theories and pedagogical innovations to develop efgective intervention strategies for the conservation of biodiversity in the tropics? Tiere is likely not one right answer that can address what the world confsonts today; instead, we should embrace the diversity of views and opinions that are put forth, as much as we cherish the biological diversity around us. We welcome all tropical biologists and conservation scientists that have gathered at this special meeting to share their scientifjc fjndings, communicate with each other, and contribute to the synthesis of perspectives. We hope that you will all enjoy every minute of this meeting that is packed with scientifjc sessions and special events and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has worked with us to make this meeting possible, especially those who have served in the scientifjc and organization committees.

introduction ASSOCIATION FOR TROPICAL BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION (ATBC) ATBC was founded as the Association for Tropical Biology (ATB) on July 6, 1962 to promote research and to foster the exchange of ideas among biologists working in tropical environments. Afuer offjcial incorporation as a non-profjt organization in 1963, ATB started regular publications and academic symposia to build global networks of tropical biologists and conservationists. Since 1969, ATB has published BIOTROPICA, a high-impact journal of global readership which features peer-reviewed articles and reviews on ecology and evolution of biological and functional diversity in tropical environments, as well as issues critical for conservation of tropical biodiversity. Tiis refmects the work of our membership: a network of scientists with a strong desire to balance conservation of biological diversity with human welfare in the tropics. From the Executive Director, W . John Krets and the Pretident, Lúcia G. Lohmann Fifuy years ago a group of several dozen dedicated tropical researchers came together to form the fjrst professional society dedicated to understanding tropical biodiversity and ecosystems. Today this small number has grown to thousands. As a participant in this fjfuy-year anniversary meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, you are contributing to one of the most important and largest international gatherings of professional researchers dedicated to furthering our appreciation and knowledge about the tropics. We welcome you to Costa Rica, where many of us received our earliest experiences and training in the fjeld in tropical biology. Tiis meeting promises to be a milestone for both ATBC and OTS in our work to promote research, education, and communication in tropical biology and conservation. We hope that you will take this opportunity to help us further these goals. dr. W. John Kress dr. lúcia g. lohmann 7 ATBC•OTS 2013

introduction ORGANIZATION FOR TROPICAL STUDIES (OTS) OTS was built by a strong foundation of people – researchers, students, conservationists and natural history enthusiasts sharing an intense desire to understand, study, and protect the natural world in the tropics. Over the past 50 years, OTS has trained generations of students through its fjeld courses, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. It also has helped natural resource managers become better park managers, public policy-makers understand the conservation issues in the tropics, and community leaders address local environmental problems. Today, OTS continues to develop its legacy not only in Costa Rica, but also in other tropical regions as far-reaching as Kruger National Park, South Afsica. From the Pretident and CEO, Dr. Elizabeth Losos and OTS 50th Anniversary Chair, Julie Denslow On behalf of the Organization for Tropical Studies and our 50+ member institutions, we are delighted to welcome you to a very special joint meeting with the ATBC celebrating our 50th birthday. OTS has grown out of the shared belief between US and Costa Rican universities, research institutes, and museums in the critical importance of understanding how tropical ecosystems work, how tropical organisms have evolved, and how they interact with one another. Our founders recognized that central to developing this understanding is the encouragement, education, and support of graduate and undergraduate students. Our courses have not only trained thousands of students, they have become models for fjeld-based learning around the world. Our three fjeld stations in Costa Rica foster ground breaking, high-tech research as well as natural history questions fsom faculty and students alike. Tiey also have contributed to the growth of Costa Rica’s leadership in conservation, ecotourism, and research. When OTS was founded in 1963, a paucity of understanding of tropical environments and the species found there dominated scientifjc discourse. Today the tropics are central to our understanding of global change, evolution, and the spread of infectious diseases. Tiis week you will hear the latest breaking results of tropical research fsom around the world. We are delighted that you are bringing your own ideas to this dialog and happy to welcome you to an exciting week. We hope you take advantage of the opportunities scheduled ahead to refmect on where we have been and to talk with some of the folks who have brought us this far. dr. elizabeth losos dr.

S. fsom the University of Florida, and received a Ph.D. in virology fsom the University of Illinois in 1967, afuer which he continued his active academic career at UCR. In 1985, he was named presidential adviser for natural resources and biodiversity. Tiis has led to the founding of the National Biodiversity Institute (INBio, http://www.inbio.ac.cr), a private non-profjt association, where Dr. DR. RoDRiGo GÁMEZ Gámez has served in the capacity of Director General and President for over 20 years. Tie tire- less efgorts of Dr. Gámez in the protection of biodiversity and natural resource conservation in Costa Rica, as well as his academic achievements in the fjeld of plant virology, have led to numerous international awards in recognition of his achievements, including the Dr. Bernard Houssay Inter-American Science Prize (1983), Banesto Recognition of Honor (1992), Green Globe Award (1997), Award for International Cooperation fsom the US Forest Service (2011), Magón National Culture Award (2012), Pax Natura Award (2012), and Midori Award (2012). He is a Professor Emeritus at UCR since 2010. For the opening plenary lecture, Dr. Gámez will share his views on the future of biodiversity of Costa Rica based on the experience he has gained since his early years at the UCR (70-80´s) during which he was associated with OTS, and later with the National Parks Foundation and the Ministry of the Environment (1980-90´s), and INBio (1990´s-present). a3 AtBc conservAtion coMMittee open foruM Sun.

She was the co-Director of the OTS La Selva Biological Station fsom 1980 to 1994, during which La Selva went through a series of major renovations and supported new cutting edge research project, also catering to an increasing number and variety of OTS courses. Dr. Clark’s own research addresses population ecology, life history diversity and ecophysiology of tropical rain forest canopy trees, as well as carbon and nutrient cycling. She continues to actively publish the results of her long-term DR. DEBoRAH CLARK research fsom Costa Rica in the global context. Dr. Clark was the ATBC President in 1997. She is currently a research associate professor at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. PARADiGMS LoST, V. 2.0: TRoPiCAL FoREST ECoLoGY 16 YEARS LATER Our understanding of ecological processes in the tropics is still nascent and evolving. In 1997, during the fjrst joint ATBC/OTS meeting in San José, my banquet talk focused on how new fjeld data had overturned concepts that had been accepted wisdom for tropical researchers only a de- cade earlier. I refmected then on how these conceptual fsame shifus were making my own area of research, tropical forest ecology, progressively more interesting. Now, with 16 more years of fjndings fsom fjeld research, I explore the new shifus that have occurred in our understanding of how tropical forests work. Lack of replication remains a fundamental constraint. With such data limitations, one pathbreaking study can show X, the next Y . Such lessons underline the need for caution when generalizing across the biome. We now know much more about geographic variation in biodiversity, but new species continue to turn up in even the best-studied fjeld sites, and many sites remain unexplored. Tie internet is now bringing the “world brain” to bear on this fundamental challenge for understanding tropical biodiversity. A pervasive assumption in earlier tropical fjeld studies was that all years are the same in this “equable-climate” biome; this notion has been turned on its head. We can now see that interannual climatic variation, extreme events, and directional climatic change afgect both current-time and future ecosystem processes for all tropical forests. Tie “my forest is more virgin than yours” competition of the early years of tropical forest ecology has gone away; we now know it is fundamental to ask how past and current disturbances may be impacting forest processes at all study sites. Tie tacit assumption “seen one part of the forest, seen it all” has given way to a growing understanding of how the within-landscape mosaicism of tropical forests shapes forest ecology. Tiat tropical forests are “only skin deep” is another long-held misconcep- tion; those few researchers who have studied tropical soils to depth have shown us that a large part of the action in tropical-forest carbon may be going on in the deep soil layers. Finally, an early tacit assumption that old-growth tropical forests are in carbon equilibrium has been confsonted by a series of new hypotheses, but the ideas have outstripped the data in this key area of tropical-forest ecology. Tie continuing evolution of all these areas is exciting and will no doubt be promoted by fjndings presented at this meeting. 31 ATBC•OTS 2013

SPecial eVentS and meetingS DR. DANIEL H. JANZEN received his PhD fsom the University of California, Berkeley in 1965. As a co-instructor of the 1965 Fundamentals of Ecology course, Dr. Janzen developped the inquiry- based teaching method that has been been adopted by subsequent OTS fjeld courses ever since. Dr. Janzen’s research addresses the ecology and biodiversity of ecosystems in the tropics, in particular, evolutionary and ecological interactions between herbivorous insects and plants. Dr. Janzen’s research continues to redefjne the fsontier of tropical biology. Dr. Janzen also actively contributes DR. DANiEL H. JANZEN to biodiversity conservation through protection and land acquisition programs that he developed in the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in Costa Rica. He is currently the Tiomas G. and Louise E. DeMaura Term Chair and Professor of Biology in the Department of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is rarely seen because “My research is done where the organisms are, i.e., Costa Rica.” TRoPiCAL BioDiVERSiTY CoNSERVATioN THRoUGH BioDiVERSiTY DEVELoPMENT: CoSTA RiCA’S ACG, A REAL WoRLD ExAMPLE (5 minutes max reminiscing) Tie only signifjcant arrays of wild tropical terrestrial biodiversity that will survive this century are those that are geographically big and diverse, endowed, and integrated with their neighboring, national and international societies. Tie Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) in northwestern Costa Rica began as the 22,000 ha Parque Nacional Santa Rosa in 1971 (terrestrial and marine). Today it is 168,000 ha of continuous wildland restoration and conservation fsom 6 km out in the Pacifjc, through coastal dry forest, up over 1400-2000 m cloud forest, and down to 100 m Atlantic rain forest, the only such transect conserved in the New World. ACG contains 2.6% of the world’s biodiversity (60% of Costa Rica’s, which in turn is 4% of the world, about equal to that of the continental US and Canada together). It is managed as a semi-decentralized national park, intended to be highly fsiendly to non-damaging users – as part of its biodiversity development – and is a synergism between the Costa Rican government (http:// www.acguanacaste.ac.cr) and an NGO (Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund, http://www. gdfcf.org). Tiis has cost about $87 million, and the intellectual and physical labor of more than 500 employees and volunteers in the last 42 years. Almost all of them are Costa Rican and of minimal formal education, but have great ability to learn on the job, and some highly perceptive senior Costa Rican decision-makers. ACG is specialized national real estate development. Tiis opens the door to many topics. Owing to our inclinations and backgrounds, I will drill into “know thy park”. Tiis is the one piece of a national park structure that is generally missing in conservation administration, and done largely, if at all, by the academic community, mostly as tourist biologists. Its development by the park itself is crucial to permanent conservation through biodiversity development. My particular scientifjc insanity is that I want to inventory all the caterpillars in ACG before I die. Inventory means know who they are (by morphology and DNA barcodes), where they are, what they eat, who parasitizes them, and get that all onto the web/public domain. Tiis inventory is conducted by 39 full-time career Costa Rican parataxonomists and biodiversity curators (http://janzen.bio.upenn.edu). Winnie and I, and the taxasphere, are coaches, cheerleaders and clearing house. Tie global taxasphere and the public are our collaborators. At present, the inventory database has information on about 6,500 species of caterpillars and 9,500 species of Lepidoptera out of an estimated 15,000, plus at least 2,500 species of parasitoids out of a huge number.

ELIZABETH LOSOS / oTS PRESiDENT / Moderator While increasing globalization has resulted in economic growth and development across the globe, it has also strained the earth’s resources. Widespread global trade has resulted in reduced genetic diversity in agriculture (loss of crop varieties and livestock breeds), spread of exotic species, pollution of air, water and soil, and accelerated climatic change. Tie market cannot be relied on to control the environmental costs of globalization. Tiis panel will address what role institutions of higher learning have to play in devising strategies to address such issues. Specifjcally they will discuss how universities can collaborate across borders to efgect change, providing examples of academic leadership and international collaboration that can serve as models. PANELiSTS PETER LANGE / ProVoSt / duke uniVerSity As a professor, Dr. Lange focuses on the topics of comparative politics and political econ- omy. His early work focused on Italian politics and the Italian Communist Party. He subsequently studied European trade union movements. In more recent years his research focus has turned to the economic performance of the advanced industrial democ- racies and the efgects of globalization on these relationships. More recently he has turned his attention to the dynamics of higher education in the United States and globally. 33 ATBC•OTS 2013

SPecial eVentS and meetingS a5 HistoricAl reflections And pAtH forWArd in tropicAl Biology And conservAtion: A roundtABle discussion Tiu. June 27 1:50-3:50pm C-La Paz Main JULIE DENSLOW / TULANE UNiVERSiTY / Moderator A half century ago, the biology of tropical species was a largely unexplored scientifjc fsontier. Tie extraordinary diversity of tropical ecosystems and the daunting logistical challenges infmuenced where research was undertaken, what questions were asked, and how the fjeld developed. During this special roundtable discussion, six pioneers in the fjelds of diversity and behavior will share their insights (and perhaps a few anecdotes) on the challenges and infmuences of that time, how the fjeld has evolved, and how their past experiences shed light on current challenges for tropical biology and conservation. Gordon Orians, Peter Raven, José Sarukhán, Jay Savage, John Terborgh and Mary JaneWest-Ebrhard will participate in a fsee-fmowing roundtable discussion. Also featured will be a video message fsom E. O. Wilson. GORDON ORIANS received his Ph.D. in 1954 fsom the University of California Berkeley, and is currently Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Washington, where he served as the Director of the UW’s Institute for Environmental Studies fsom 1976 to 1986. His research has focused on behavioral ecology of birds relevant for habitat selection, mate selection and mating systems. Dr. Orians is a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he is actively engaged in the science-policy interface, serving on a variety of advisory boards for the U. S. Environ- DR. GoRDoN oRiANS mental Protection Agency, the National Research Council, the World Wildlife Fund-US and Tie Nature Conservancy. PETER H. RAVEN headed the Missouri Botanical Garden for four decades, an institution he nurtured into a world-class center for botanical research and education, and horti- cultural display until his retirement as president in 2010 and as president emeritus and consultant through 2014. As one of the world’s leading botanists and advocate of nature conservation, Dr. Raven authored many books and received numerous prizes and awards, including the prestigious International Prize for Biology fsom the government of Japan DR. PETER H. RAVEN and the U.S. National Medal of Science, the country’s highest award for scientifjc accom- plishment.
