Special SSAR Audiovisual Shows at JMIH
THE JMIH EVENT IN NEW ORLEANS WILL HIGHLIGHT
completely revised versions of two audiovisual shows that
were first premiered by SSAR in 1979 and quickly became
popular events at the society’s annual meetings. After a hiatus of ten years when they were not shown at all, these
two programs were completely revised using high-definition Blu Ray technology; these debuted at last year’s SSAR
meeting at the University of Kansas. However, because of the new technology, these shows are being continuously revised on an annual basis. Two separate, 25-minute programs will be shown in New Orleans:
t AMPHIBIANS OF THE APPALACHIANS features the salamanders and frogs in their natural habitats in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America. All of the photographs were taken in the field by two noted wildlife photographers, David M. Dennis and J. Eric Juterbock, over a fiveyear period and using modern digital cameras. The photographs are arranged in an annual cycle from
spring emergence to winter hibernation. There are many spectacular images of courtship, predation, locomotion, and other behaviors and well as breathtaking scenic views throughout the various seasons.
t HERPETOLOGISTS PAST AND PRESENT chronicles the history of herpetology on a global basis from ancient times to the present, and features the herpetologists and institutions that have led in this
development. This show was written by Kraig Adler, with photographs by Dennis, Juterbock, and dozens of other persons. There are portraits of leading herpetologists with captions listing their major accomplishments. There are also images of the major institutions where herpetology is researched and
taught. The second half of the show features today’s herpetologists in both formal and informal settings.

Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics Across Taxa: Fishes, Amphibians and Reptiles
Evolution is driven by ecological differences. Just as obviously, ecological processes are influenced by evolution. Not so
obvious is how these interactions play out on the short time scales most relevant to conservation and management. It is
well established that ecological changes will lead to phenotypic changes in natural populations. These phenotypic
changes can be substantial, particularly when humans are involved. What is not known generally is just how much of
this phenotypic change is the result of evolution and how much is the result of phenotypic plasticity. Even less is known
about how these contemporary phenotypic changes then influence ecological variables on similar time frames. Do
ecological changes, such as invasive species or climate change, drive appreciable evolutionary change measureable in
only years or decades? Does such evolution, in turn, influence ecological variables, such as population dynamics,
community composition or ecosystem function, on similar time scales? These potential interactions between ecology
and evolution represent the growing field of eco-evolutionary dynamics. Many of the best examples of eco-evolutionary
dynamics come from studies of fishes, amphibians and reptiles. This symposium will showcase that research.

Herpetologists’ League
Social Behavior in Reptiles: Secretive does not mean Asocial
Although social behavior in vertebrates spans a continuum from solitary to highly social, taxa are often dichotomized as either
‘social’ or ‘non-social’. We argue that this social dichotomy is overly simplistic, neglects the diversity of vertebrate social systems,
impedes our understanding of the evolution of social behavior, and perpetuates the erroneous belief that one group – the reptiles –
is primarily ‘non-social’.
The symposium will unite researchers of social behavior of reptiles from around the world and those working on lizards, snakes,
turtles and crocodiles. It will highlight the diversity and complexity of reptile social systems, and demonstrate how reptiles can
contribute to our understanding of the evolution of vertebrate social behavior.

ASIH at 100: Setting the Stage for the Next Hundred Years
In 2013, the ASIH began a four-year celebration of its centennial, which will conclude in 2016. To augment other aspects
of the Centennial Celebration being planned for the 2016 meetings and beyond (e.g., publications in Copeia
documenting and discussing aspects of the history of ASIH), this special symposium for the Centennial meeting focuses
on the ASIH and its role in the professions of Ichthyology and Herpetology. It is through the thoughts, ideas, and actions
of the members of ASIH that this society has flourished and had such significant impact on the study of fishes,
amphibians, and reptiles. It is therefore fitting that the society reflect on these 100 years through the perspectives of its
membership. The relationship that each of us has to the ASIH is unique, and there is much to be learned from and
discussed regarding the impact that the society has to each member. This is a particularly important discussion to have
during the annual meeting, as about half of the participants are students and are the future of the ASIH. The goal of this
symposium is not to only reflect on the past 100 years, but also to examine and discuss, by example, the role that the
ASIH plays in the development of careers in Ichthyology and Herpetology, and how this can be carried into the future, to
set the stage for the next 100 years of the ASIH.

Lessons From, and Visions For, Long-term Studies of Freshwater Fish Communities
Long-term studies of freshwater fish communities provide valuable data for understanding community dynamics,
responses to disturbance, conservation needs, and projected changes in community ecosystem effects under global
change scenarios. Few systems have been studied in the very long term (over several decades), but the number of
studies at the scale of decades is growing. The goal of this symposium is to encourage the continuation of existing
studies and the initiation of new long-term studies by bringing together researchers with long-term fish community data
and younger researchers and graduate students with interests in community studies.

American Elasmobranch Society
Biology and Ecology of Sawfishes
Given the substantial declines experienced by all five sawfish species and their dramatically reduced ranges, sawfishes
are among the most threatened fishes in the world. Because of their elongated, toothed rostrum, most of these declines
are thought to have resulted primarily from bycatch due to their susceptibility to entanglement in gill nets and other
coastal fisheries gear. Since bycatch is often so poorly documented, the declines may have been worse than once
thought in some regions and the prospects for recovery even more dire. As a result, all sawfish species are currently
listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In addition, the IUCN Shark
Specialist Group recently listed Pristidae as the most threatened elasmobranch family. In response to this situation,
research has expanded tremendously over the last decade and has provided new insights into the taxonomy,
distribution, biology, and ecology of sawfishes worldwide. The success of these research efforts has evolved into the
formation of nine research groups on four continents with ongoing programs targeted at learning more about sawfishes
and promoting their recovery. The goals of this symposium are (1) to bring international researchers and their
collaborators together to communicate their latest results, (2) to have participants share their experiences and expertise
working with fishes that are rare and inherently difficult to study, and (3) to foster the development of future
collaborations. Presentations will feature information on a variety of topics such as telemetry, integrative multisensor
tagging, feeding and trophic dynamics, age and growth, physiology, sensory biology, reproductive biology, population
genetics, conservation, and management. There are over 50 researchers from 12 countries planning to participate in the
full day symposium

Workshops
Wednesday, 6 July
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Room: Balcony N
Introduction to R
This track will introduce participants to the basics of R. Our goal is to familiarize you with R’s capabilities by performing
some basic tasks, including loading, structuring, and visualizing data, as well as employing basic functions and learning
how to get help. Participants will learn to follow instructor code as well as write their own scripts for basic data analysis.
Note: Pre-registration required.
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Room: St. Charles
Using R for Comparative Phylogenetics and Niche Modeling
This track is intended for participants who are already familiar with R basics, and want to apply their skills to more advanced tasks. We will spend half the day covering the scripting of comparative phylogenetic analysis, and half the day
on how to use R for ecological niche modeling. The workshop will help participants create robust, repeatable code for
inclusion in publications to enhance the repeatability of analyses and open-notebook model of research.

ASIH Speed Networking Workshop
Scientific meetings offer great opportunities to (re)-establish professional contacts and to network amongst fellow attendees. But
younger members may find few opportunities to interface with more senior members of a society.
To remedy this, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) is again offering an “ASIH Graduate Student
Speed Networking Workshop” at the upcoming 2016 Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in New Orleans.
The workshop will be conducted as follows: 1 professional (working in state or federal agencies, at museums or universities) will be
seated at a table in the room. Two students will sit with each professional for ~5 minutes of dialogue, then rotate to the next table
when 5 minutes expire. Over the course of an hour, students will visit 12 tables (= 12 professionals), after which all attendees will
gather for a mixer (pizza and drinks provided).
To participate in this networking event, you must be an ASIH student member in good standing (i.e., paid dues for 2016 ASIH
membership) and be registered for the 2016 JMIH meetings.
Please note that this event usually fills quickly, so we recommend you decide soon. You can register on the JMIH meeting registration form. If space is full, you can have your name added to a waiting list. Also, if you are signed-up for the event but later on decide
not to participate, please let us know immediately so another student has the opportunity to attend. Each year about 1/3 of registered students do not show up for the event. This is not only unprofessional but also unfair to fellow graduate students.
By participating in this workshop, you will hopefully acquire numerous professional contacts with whom you (and your colleagues)
can interact during this and future meetings.

2017 Meeting Announcement
Plan now to attend the next
Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists
12-16 July 2017
Renaissance Hotel Austin
Austin, Texas
Meeting information available at:

Tabasco Sauce, Alligators, & E. A. McIlhenny
T
ized that his work was actually a tour de
force of natural history.
ABASCO HOT PEPPER SAUCE
is one of America’s most iconic food products and the bottle’s
distinctive design is immediately
recognizable. The sauce is used
worldwide and has even been a
regular staple on NASA shuttle
flights and at the International
Space Station. Over 700,000 bottles are produced every day at the
company’s facility on Avery Island, Louisiana.
Not so widely known is the fact
that the person most responsible
for developing this product, E. A.
McIlhenny (1872–1949), was an
amateur herpetologist and ornithologist who was also an early
conservationist. He was born and
raised on Avery Island, which is
actually a salt dome located in the
swamplands of South Louisiana.
His family home literally had alligators living in the front yard. As a
result, McIlhenny was able to conduct a lifetime study of this animal
that resulted in his classic book,
The Alligator’s Life History (1935).
Crocodilian behavior was not well
known or understood in those
days and several of McIlhenny’s
observations were dismissed out
of hand by professional herpetologists. As noted by Archie Carr in
his introduction to the 1976 SSAR
reprint of McIlhenny’s book:
I first read McIlhenny’s alligator book long
ago, as a graduate student in zoology. I
remember feeling guilty and embarrassed
because it seemed honest and exciting stuff
to me, but the word was out that because
it had been written by an amateur naturalist it must surely be full of holes. That was
a grievous error. In recent years, growing
numbers of alligator specialists have real-
As Carr noted 40 years after the fact,
McIlhenny was mostly correct. His
landmark book remains the best
study of the American alligator,
covering habitat, dens, hibernation,
food, rate of growth, size, teeth,
voice, enemies, nest and nest building, incubation of eggs, and growth
of juveniles. Carr wrote that his extensive studies on food and feeding are unlikely ever to be repeated
because stomach content data from
wild alligators are now scarce.

Alligator mississipiensis © 2016 David M. Dennis. This poster is sponsored by the McIlhenny Company of Avery Island in South Louisiana, makers of Tabasco brand hot pepper sauce since 1868.
E. A. McIlhenny (1872–1949), an amateur naturalist and conservationist, was president of McIlhenny Company from 1898 to 1949 and author of the classic book, The Alligator’s Life History (1935).
McIlhenny was a longtime member
of ASIH and published an important
study on egg incubation and growth
in the alligator in the July 1934 issue of Copeia. A huge specimen collected by McIlhenny in Vermillion
Bay, South Louisiana, in January
1890 still holds the length record
for this species: 19 feet 2 inches (5.85
meters), for an unskinned, intact
animal. There is a full-length biography of McIlhenny in volume 3 of
Kraig Adler’s series, Contributions
to the History of Herpetology (2012,
pages 250–252), which was distributed by SSAR to all delegates at the
7th World Congress of Herpetology,
held in Vancouver, Canada.
The McIlhenny Company has
donated miniature bottles of Tabasco sauce for this year’s meeting. These will be in the registration packets at the JMIH event in
New Orleans. The meeting poster
this year, depicting an American
alligator photographed by David
M. Dennis, will be available at the
registration desk. This giveaway
poster is being provided by SSAR.
