I wish to thank the Graduate Coordinator Peg Erdman and the Department Administrator Maggie Brandenburg of the Department of Anthropology at UW-Madison for their tireless and efficient support throughout my graduate career. In Madison it has always been reassuring to be able to count on Melania Alvarez and Alejandro Adem. I thank them. I wish to thank my dissertation committee members: Paul Nadasday, Frank Salomon, Steve Stern, Neil Whitehead, and Karl Zimmerer. Each member provided thoughtful and extremely constructive commentary on my dissertation. I am especially indebted to Neil Whitehead for a series of very productive exchanges, both in Santa Fe and in Madison, that have helped me to clarify my argument substantially. Few students have the good fortune to have an advisor like Frank Salomon. Writing this dissertation with the knowledge that Frank would creatively and critically engage with it has been both liberating and motivating. I cannot think of a better interlocutor. His intellectual breadth, depth, and continual sense of wonder about the world will always serve as inspiration. I would also like to thank Chris Garces for commenting on a draft of the first chapter. In Quito I wish to thank the members of the Comisión Fulbright, especially the former Executive Director Gonzalo Cartagenova and Helena Saona, as well as the current Executive Director Susana Cabeza de Vaca. I also would like to thank David Neill, Curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden and a long time affiliate of the Herbario Nacional del Ecuador for his careful revision of my botanical collections. I am also indebted to Efraín Freire for working with my collections. For their botanical determinations I wish to thank: M. Asanza (QCNE), S. Báez (QCA), J. Clark (US), C. Dodson (MO), E. Freire (QCNE), J. P. Hedin (MO), W. Nee (NY), D. Neill (MO), W. Palacios (QCNE), and T. D. Pennington (K). I also am very grateful to Luis Coloma and Giovanni Onore and their students at the Museo de Zoología, Universidad Católica, for their help and enthusiasm regarding my project. Tropical biology is a vibrant and exciting field in Ecuador, and this is due in large part to the dedication of the faculty and students at the Universidad Católica. I wish to thank G. Onore as well as M. Ayala, E. Baus, C. Carpio, all from iv
QCAZ, and D. Roubick (STRI) for determining my invertebrate collections. I wish to thank L. Coloma as well as J. Guayasamín and S. Ron, from QCAZ, for determining my herpetofauna collections. I wish to thank P. Jarrín (QCAZ) for determining my mammal collections. I wish to thank Ramiro Barriga of the Escuela Polítecnica Nacional for determining my fish collections. I am also grateful to the late Fernando Ortiz Crespo for many discussions about my project, especially in its ornithological aspects. I would like to thank the anthropologists Diego Quiroga of Universidad San Francisco, Quito and Ernesto Salazar, of Universidad Católica, for their friendship and interest in my research. In Loreto I would like to thank Father Mario Perín of the Misión Josefina for his warm hospitality and for providing lodging and meals at the mission on my way in and out of Ávila. I also would like to thank the Verdezoto family, especially don Adán and doña Clelia for their friendship and help on several occasions. My greatest debt of gratitude is to the people of Ávila. I wish to thank each of them for their generosity and patience. The periods I spent in Ávila have been some of the happiest, most stimulating, and also most tranquil ones of my life and this, in no small measure, is due to them. Ashca pagarachu. Mana “lambasa” quilcarcanichu. Finally, I would like to thank my parents Anna Rosa and Joe and my sisters Emma and Alicia for their love and support. My relatives in Quito also deserve special thanks. I always found inspiration at Vera Kohn’s house. My uncle Alejandro Di Capua and his family where always there for me. Finally, I will always be indebted to my late grandfather Alberto Di Capua and my grandmother Costanza Di Capua, not only for providing me with my home in Quito but also for getting me started on this path in the first place. v
