Jacobi2 AB.~WrRACT.-An inventory and analysis of the mayfly (Insecta, Ephemeroptera) hmna of New ~lcxico, based on the published literature and study of extensive materials from diverse collections, indicate the presence of 12 f~lmilies, 37 genera, and 81 species. Ofthese species, 25 represent new state records: Acentrella turbida, Ameletus falsus, A. sparsatus, Baelis adonis, B. hicaudatus, B. jlavislriga, Baetodes de./iciens, Caenis latipcnnis, Callibaetis jluctuans, Cinygmula par, Ephemera simulons, Hexagenia bilineata, IsoHychia sicca, Labiohaetis propinquus, Lachlania saskatchewanensis, Lepto­ phlehia bradleyi, Leucrocuta petersi, Neochoroterpes nanita, Pamleptophlehia debilis, P. hetemne(J, Procloeon conturha­ tum, Bhithrogena plana, R. rohusta, R. vitta, and Thratdodes gonzalesi. Baetodes deficiens represents a new USA record. For 37 ofthe 56 previously reported ,md confirmed species, 124 new county records are provided. With respect to conti­ nental affinities, :-;4 species are western, 27 southwestem, 13 widespread, 1 is a southern USA species, and 1 eastern. or the major drainage systems in the state, the Gila system is the most species rich with 48 species, followed hy the Rio Grande (46), Pecos (39), Canadian (28), and San Juan (2.'5). Relationships between drainage systems and between t\ew Mexico and broadly adjoining states are discllssed. Lachlania dencyannae, the only endemic species in New J'vlexieo, oecurs in the Gila system and is rare and endangered. Certain other species from the Gila system me also noted as being at risk. From other drainages, B. adonis, Ephemerella mollitia, and L petersi also are of some cuncern at the nationallevcl. Additional species that are rare in Ne',.v Mexivo and are of concern at least at the state level include AmetroTJus albrighti, C. fit/ctt/ans, II. bilineata, L. bradleyi, N. nanita, P cunturbatum, and R. hageni.

  • List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017
    Washington Natural Heritage Program List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017 The following list of animals known from Washington is complete for resident and transient vertebrates and several groups of invertebrates, including odonates, branchipods, tiger beetles, butterflies, gastropods, freshwater bivalves and bumble bees. Some species from other groups are included, especially where there are conservation concerns. Among these are the Palouse giant earthworm, a few moths and some of our mayflies and grasshoppers. Currently 857 vertebrate and 1,100 invertebrate taxa are included. Conservation status, in the form of range-wide, national and state ranks are assigned to each taxon. Information on species range and distribution, number of individuals, population trends and threats is collected into a ranking form, analyzed, and used to assign ranks. Ranks are updated periodically, as new information is collected. We welcome new information for any species on our list.

  • Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts
    Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts September 15, 2013 This report is the result of several years of field data collection, analyses and IBI development, and consideration of the opportunities for wetland program and policy development in relation to IBIs and CAPS Index of Ecological Integrity (IEI). Contributors include: University of Massachusetts Amherst Kevin McGarigal, Ethan Plunkett, Joanna Grand, Brad Compton, Theresa Portante, Kasey Rolih, and Scott Jackson Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management Jan Smith, Marc Carullo, and Adrienne Pappal Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Lisa Rhodes, Lealdon Langley, and Michael Stroman Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a fully empirically-based method for developing Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) that does not rely on expert opinion or the arbitrary designation of reference sites and pilot its application in forested wetlands, coastal salt marshes and wadable freshwater streams in Massachusetts. The method we developed involves: 1) using a suite of regression models to estimate the abundance of each taxon across a gradient of stressor levels, 2) using statistical calibration based on the fitted regression models and maximum likelihood methods to predict the value of the stressor metric based on the abundance of the taxon at each site, 3) selecting taxa in a forward stepwise procedure that conditionally improves the concordance between the observed stressor value and the predicted value the most and a stopping rule for selecting taxa based on a conditional alpha derived from comparison to pseudotaxa data, and 4) comparing the coefficient of concordance for the final IBI to the expected distribution derived from randomly permuted data.
