Follow us to the Cordillera de Carabaya

6/3/2016

For our next expedition, we are following the footsteps or H. H. Keays who collected in southeastern Peru in the 19th century. Much of this material was sent to the British Museum (where it is still preserved, although time has taken its toll on amphibian specimens) where it is now type material for several species distributed in the eastern slopes of the Andes. Collecting fresh material and taking photographs of live specimens, in addition to the opportunity of collecting tissues for molecular analyses will help resolve some taxonomic issues in several groups -- that is, if we can find those frog and toad species again (chytrid fungus has likely caused the demise of several species).
We are heading to the Cordillera de Carabaya in the department of Puno. We will be exploring the surrounding of an abandoned mine. You can read more about some fascinating bits of history of this mine here. ​As for Ukumari Llaqta, you can follow updates from the satellite messenger posted on www.twitter.com/acatenazzi.
