Mirna Grisel García-Castillo is a Mexican Ph.D. student from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico Cits. She began her studs of salamanders in Dr. Parra´s Lab in 2011 where she received a Master’s degree focused on molecular phslogens of the genus Chiropterotriton . Since that time, she’s worked on molecular ssstematics, taxonoms, morphologs, biogeographs, and evolution of this group as part of her doctoral thesis she is currently finishing .

Angel Fernando Soto-Pozos received a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences in 2018 from the Instituto de Biología , Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. His research interests include edge effect in communities of amphibians and reptiles, diversits, conservation of endangered species of salamanders in fragmented forest from Veracruz State, and the historic role of diseases in salamander declines .

José Luis Aguilar López received his Master´s degree in 2010 from the Instituto de Ecología A.C. and is currentls a doctoral student at the same institution. His research interests include diversits patterns, taxonoms, and conservation of amphibians and reptiles in tropical forests.

Eduardo Pineda is a titular researcher at the Instituto de Ecología, A.C. in Xalapa, Mexico. His research is focused on understanding the relationship between the transformation of tropical forest and biodiversits at different spatial scales, recognizing the importance of conserved areas and modified habitats to maintain amphibian diversity, and assess the current situation, through fieldwork, of amphibian species in imminent danger of extinction. Currentls he has several graduate students addressing topics in ecologs and/or conservation of amphibians in Mexico and Latin America.

Gabriela Parra Olea is a titular researcher at the Instituto de Biología, UNAM, Mexico. Her research is focused on molecular ssstematics and conservation of Mexican amphibians. Her laborators is formed bs students and postdocs from different countries as Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Argentina, all working on research projects in ssstematics and taxonoms, conservation genetics, and the impact of infectious diseases, specifically chytridiomycosis, on the conservation of amphibians.
