South Boulder Road, Suite N, Louisville, Colorado 80027, Telephone: 303-439-8369 Email: [email protected] www.greenplayllc.com Foreword The City of Longmont shares our spaces with a variety of wildlife from the tiniest of insects to the wandering black bear. Wildlife plays an important role in our community, fulfilling many values. A variety of animals provide our residents with recreational opportunities such as fishing and watching wildlife across the City’s network of Open Spaces, Greenways, and Natural Areas. Wildlife provide ecosystem services and sustain our very livelihoods through such actions as pollinating crops. Researchers from the State’s higher education institutes study our wildlife to further our understanding of the natural world. Also of value is the deep appreciation and respect for wildlife’s intrinsic nature to simply exist. Our community’s appreciation of wildlife is reflected in the support of the City’s Open Space Program. A key finding in the 2018 Open Space Master Plan Update was that among the highest priorities of Open Space for residents was to provide habitat for wildlife (City of Longmont, 2018). Goals and policies for the protection of wildlife are also stated in Envision Longmont, the City’s comprehensive plan. There are also wildlife and habitat protection measures in Longmont’s Municipal Code. Despite this support from our community, wildlife faces many threats. In a recent report from the United Nations, more than one million species of animals and plants worldwide face extinction (IPBES, 2019). The primary cause of the decline in wildlife is habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation (National Wildlife Federation, 2019) caused by development, mining, energy extraction, agriculture, recreation, water use, pollution, and climate change (National Wildlife Federation, 2019 and Rondeau et al., 2011). The grasslands, wetlands, and aquatic habitats that make up Longmont’s natural habitat are key to our local wildlife’s continued existence. In fact, two-thirds of the vertebrate animal species considered at risk in Colorado depend on these habitat types (Rondeau et al., 2011). With Colorado’s population surpassing five million people in 2008 and an expectation to double that number by 2050 (Colorado Water Conservation Board, 2019), these threats will increase. This update to the City of Longmont’s Wildlife Management Plan was developed in a response to our resident’s appreciation for the values that wildlife provides as well as to address the threats faced by our local wildlife. This plan is the City’s action to think globally and act locally to help preserve the biodiversity that makes our City a desired place to call home. ~ Written by Jim Krick, Longmont Natural Resources Specialist City of Longmont.

ABSTRACT FLEAS, HOSTS AND HABITAT: WHAT CAN WE PREDICT ABOUT THE SPREAD OF VECTOR-BORNE ZOONOTIC DISEASES? MEGAN M. FRIGGENS Vector-borne diseases of humans and wildlife are experiencing resurgence across the globe. I examine the dynamics of flea borne diseases through a comparative analysis of flea literature and analyses of field data collected from three sites in New Mexico: The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, the Sandia Mountains and the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP). My objectives were to use these analyses to better predict and manage for the spread of diseases such as plague (Yersinia pestis). To assess the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on flea communities, I compiled and analyzed data from 63 published empirical studies. Anthropogenic disturbance is associated with conditions conducive to increased transmission of flea-borne diseases. Most measures of flea infestation increased with increasing disturbance or peaked at intermediate levels of disturbance. Future trends of habitat and climate change will probably favor the spread of flea-borne disease.

  • Genetic Structure and Gene Flow of the Flea Xenopsylla Cheopis in Madagascar and Mayotte Mireille Harimalala1*†, Sandra Telfer2†, Hélène Delatte3, Phillip C
    Harimalala et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:347 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2290-6 RESEARCH Open Access Genetic structure and gene flow of the flea Xenopsylla cheopis in Madagascar and Mayotte Mireille Harimalala1*†, Sandra Telfer2†, Hélène Delatte3, Phillip C. Watts4, Adélaïde Miarinjara1, Tojo Rindra Ramihangihajason1, Soanandrasana Rahelinirina5, Minoarisoa Rajerison5 and Sébastien Boyer1 Abstract Background: The flea Xenopsylla cheopis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) is a vector of plague. Despite this insect’s medical importance, especially in Madagascar where plague is endemic, little is known about the organization of its natural populations. We undertook population genetic analyses (i) to determine the spatial genetic structure of X. cheopis in Madagascar and (ii) to determine the potential risk of plague introduction in the neighboring island of Mayotte. Results: We genotyped 205 fleas from 12 sites using nine microsatellite markers. Madagascan populations of X. cheopis differed, with the mean number of alleles per locus per population ranging from 1.78 to 4.44 and with moderate to high levels of genetic differentiation between populations. Three distinct genetic clusters were identified, with different geographical distributions but with some apparent gene flow between both islands and within Malagasy regions. The approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) used to test the predominant direction of flea dispersal implied a recent population introduction from Mayotte to Madagascar, which was estimated to have occurred between 1993 and 2012. The impact of this flea introduction in terms of plague transmission in Madagascar is unclear, but the low level of flea exchange between the two islands seems to keep Mayotte free of plague for now. Conclusion: This study highlights the occurrence of genetic structure among populations of the flea vector of plague, X.
