Esteban Payán (Colombia), María Martínez-Agüero (Colombia), Carlos Vergara (Colombia),
Maria Fernanda Gómez (Colombia), Nathalí Romero (Colombia), Mariana Escovar (La Paz,
Bolivia), Juanito and Angelito (Iquitos, Perú), and, especially to Isaias and his sons (Requena,
Perú) who participated in the capture of the pink river dolphins herein studied. Also, diverse
Peruvian Indian communities collaborated with our pink river dolphin captures throughout
the Peruvian rivers (Bora, Ocaina, Shipigo-Comibo, Capanahua, Angoteros, Orejón, Cocama,
Kishuarana and Alamas) as well as diverse Bolivian communities helped to capture dolphins
throughout the Mamoré river and other Bolivian Amazon tributaries (Sirionó, Canichana,
Cayubaba and Chacobo). Dr. Fernando Trujillo (Omacha Fundation) gently offered some
samples from the Colombian Orinoco and Amazon. The lab collaboration of María Martínez-
Agüero, Magda Gaviria, Pablo Escobar-Armel and Eulalia Banguera is thanked. Additional
thanks go to Hugo Gálvez (Iquitos, Perú) and Armando Castellanos (Quito, Ecuador) to
collaborate in collection permits in both countries. Similarly, many thanks go to the Bolivian,
Peruvian and Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment, to the Dirección General de Biodiversidad
and CITES from Bolivia, PRODUCE, Dirección Nacional de Extracción and Procesamiento
Pesquero and to the Instituto Nacional de Recursos Naturales (INRENA) from Perú for their
role in facilitating the obtainment of the collection permits. Special thanks goes to the
Colección Boliviana de Fauna (Dr. Julieta Vargas) in La Paz (Bolivia). Thanks also to the
Fundación Sociedad Portuaria de Santa Marta (Colombia) for its logistical support.
