  • 2020 Biological Assessment for the Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program in New Mexico
    2020 Biological Assessment For the Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program in New Mexico 01/24/2020 Prepared by USDA, APHIS, PPQ 270 South 17th Street Las Cruces, NM 88005 BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT (BA) FOR STATE CONSULTATION AND CONFERENCE FOR 2020 GH/MC PROGRAMS IN NEW MEXICO 2020 Biological Assessment for the Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program, New Mexico 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), in conjunction with other Federal agencies, State departments of agriculture, land management groups, and private individuals, is planning to conduct grasshopper control programs in New Mexico in 2020. This document is intended as state-wide consultation and conference with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) regarding the APHIS Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program. Beginning in 1987, APHIS has consulted with the FWS on a national level for the Rangeland Grasshopper Cooperative Management Program. Biological Opinions (BO) were issued annually by FWS from 1987 through 1995 for the national program. A letter dated October 3, 1995 from FWS to APHIS concurred with buffers and other measures agreed to by APHIS for New Mexico and superseded all previous consultations. Since then, funding constraints and other considerations have drastically reduced grasshopper/Mormon cricket suppression activities. APHIS is requesting initiation of informal consultation for the implementation of the 2020 Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program on rangeland in New Mexico. Our determinations of effect for listed species, proposed candidate species, critical habitat, and proposed critical habitat are based on the October 3, 1995 FWS letter, the analysis provided in the 2019 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for APHIS suppression activities in 17 western states, and local discussions with FWS.

  • THREATENED and ENDANGERED SPECIES of NEW MEXICO 2008 Biennial Review and Recommendations
    THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES OF NEW MEXICO 2008 BIENNIAL REVIEW DRAFT First Public Comment Period March 11, 2008 New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Conservation Services Division DRAFT 2008 Biennial Review of T & E Species of NM, 3/11/08 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES OF NEW MEXICO 2008 Biennial Review and Recommendations Authority: Wildlife Conservation Act (17-2-37 through 17-2-46 NMSA 1978) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A total of 118 species and subspecies are on the 2008 list of threatened and endangered New Mexico wildlife. The list includes 2 crustaceans, 25 mollusks, 23 fishes, 6 amphibians, 15 reptiles, 32 birds and 15 mammals (Tables 1, 2). An additional 7 species of mammals has been listed as restricted to facilitate control of traffic in federally protected species. A species is endangered if it is in jeopardy of extinction or extirpation from the state; a species is threatened if it is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range in New Mexico. Species or subspecies of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, mollusks, and crustaceans native to New Mexico may be listed as threatened or endangered under the Wildlife Conservation Act (WCA). During the Biennial Review, species may be upgraded from threatened to endangered, or downgraded from endangered to threatened, based upon data, views, and information regarding the biological and ecological status of the species. Investigations for new listings or removals from the list (delistings) can be undertaken at any time, but require additional procedures from those for the Biennial Review. The 2006 Biennial Review contained a recommendation for maintaining the status for 119 species and subspecies listed as threatened, endangered, or restricted under the WCA, and uplisting four species (Arizona grasshopper sparrow, Pecos bluntnose shiner, spikedace, and meadow jumping mouse ) from threatened to endangered and downlisting two species (shortneck snaggletooth and piping plover) from endangered to threatened.

    A Review of the North American Freshwater Snail Genus Pyrgulopsis (Hydrobiidae) ROBERT HERSHLER SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 554 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

It is arguably the most expansive (if you count casualties) and the most challenging El Paso (if you consider mitigation) crisis of our time. This region-wide initiative is situated in the fabled Rio Grande basin and the associated Mexico-US borderland, which is one of the Jemez Pueblo most biologically diverse and culturally vibrant places in North America, and at the same Las Cruces time, one of the most endangered, facing numerous threats, including climate breakdown, ongoing fossil fuels capitalism and nuclear colonialism, and the proposed expansion of the Marfa border wall. These and other drivers are causing, contributing to, and threatening to amplify the ongoing biological crisis. Species in Peril Along the Rio Grande aims to raise public Roswell awareness about ecological vitality and the biological crisis, acknowledge past and present Taos injustices, and inspire collective actions for multispecies justice. — Subhankar Banerjee, Co-Curator Lannan Chair & Professor of Art & Ecology, University of New Mexico Welcome to Species in Peril Along the Rio Grande, an exhibition and CONTENTS series of public programs in the region of the Rio Grande watershed.
