CARBoN oFFSETS
Since 2007, ATBC annual meetings aim to ofgset the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are associat- ed with various aspects of these meetings, particularly international travels of delegates. Your contribution will support a regional carbon-ofgset project where the annual meeting takes place each year. Please make sugges- tions to the Conservation Committee about potential projects that aim to not only ofgset carbon, but also help biodiversity conservation, sustainable natural resource use, and the well-being of local people. Tie Conservation Committee will also appreciate comments for improving our efgorts toward a “carbon-neutral meeting”. If you have not contributed to carbon ofgsets during your online registration, you can still make a cash contribution at the ATBC booth.
DECLARATioNS
Since 2007, the ATBC Conservation Committee has worked with local scientists to release a declaration at each annual meeting highlighting key conservation issues that are most relevant to the country and region where the meeting is taking place. Please join the open discussion on June 23 afuer the opening plenary to provide your input to the ATBC Conservation Committee and help promote awareness and support for local scientists.

ATBC•OTS 2013
elcome to ATBC•OTS-2013, a meeting to celebrate fjve decades of scientifjc research and educa- tion 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 anni- versary 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
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
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 activ- ities 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
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 evolu- tionary 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
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.

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
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 im- portant 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 commu- nication in tropical biology and conservation. We hope that you will take this opportunity to help us further these goals.

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 under- graduate 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 prob-
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 trop- ical 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 be- come 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
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.

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 re- search, 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 tropi- cal forests work. Lack of replication remains a fundamental constraint. With such data limitations,
. Such lessons underline the need for caution when generalizing across the biome. We now know much more about geographic variation in biodiver- sity, but new species continue to turn up in even the best-studied fjeld sites, and many sites remain
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
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
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
fjndings presented at this meeting.

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
semi-decentralized national park, intended to be highly fsiendly to non-damaging users – as part
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/pub- lic 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.

Globalization, the Environment, and the Role of Institutions of Higher Learning Please join the round-table discussion among administrative leaders fsom several key OTS member
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 genet- ic 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
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-
He subsequently studied European trade union movements. In more recent years his re- search 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.

HistoricAl reflections And pAtH forWArd in tropicAl Biology And conservAtion: A roundtABle discussion
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
the science-policy interface, serving on a variety of advisory boards for the U. S. Environ- 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 and the U.S. National Medal of Science, the country’s highest award for scientifjc accom-
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
JOSé SARUKHáN received a Ph.D. in Ecology fsom University of Wales, and serves as
the National Coordinator for Mexico’s National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO). Dr. Sarukhán has published more than 110 research papers in tropical ecology, plant population ecology, systems ecology of both temperate and trop- ical ecosystems, and authored several books. As a long-time faculty member of the Uni- versidad National Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Dr. Sarukhan served as the director
2006, he continues to be active as Professor Emeritus. Dr. Sarukhán has served as presi- dent of the Botanical Society of Mexico, the Mexican Academy of Sciences, and president
Science, the Royal Society, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.

Earth Sciences in Duke University and the Director of the Duke University Center for Tropical Conservation. His specialty is tropical ecology with an emphasis on plant-an- imal interactions and trophic cascades. He has conducted research in Latin America, the Caribbean, Afsica, Madagascar and New Guinea, but his main focus has been the Peruvian Amazon. From 1973 to 2011 he operated a research station in the Manu National Park, Perú. In 1999 he founded ParksWatch, an organization dedicated to monitoring and publicizing the status of parks in developing countries. Dr. Terborgh has published more than 200 research papers, 8 books and numerous popular articles. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of both the Ameri- can Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.

Dr. West-Eberhard is a member of both the United States National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sci- ences, and also a foreign member of the Italian Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. She has been a past president of the Society for the Study of Evolution and has received numerous awards, including R.R. Hawkins Award for the Outstanding Professional and the Sewall Wright Award. She has been selected as one of the 21 “Leaders in Animal Behavior.”
EDWARD O. WILSON is University Research Professor Emeritus and Honorary Curator
in Entomology at Harvard University. Tie main research interests of Dr. Wilson are biogeography and ecology of organisms, especially ants. In collaboration with the late Dr. Robert H. MacArthur, Dr. Wilson pioneered the theory of island biogeography which continues to provide the foundation to many studies in consevation biology. As author of numerous scholarly publication and popular books, Dr. Wilson has promoted the impor- tance of conserving biodiversity, a term that he coined with his 1988 book “BioDiversity”, which has entered the popular lexicon. Dr. Wilson is a Fellow of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, and a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and is the recipient of numer-
