SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -

Eight New Provincial Species Records of Mayflies (Ephemeroptera)
EIGHT NEW PROVINCIAL SPECIES RECORDS OF MAYFLIES (EPHEMEROPTERA) FROM ONE ARCTIC WATERSHED RIVER IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Dezene P.W. Huber1*, Claire M. Shrimpton1, and Daniel J. Erasmus2* 1Ecosystem Science and Management Program, and 2Biochemistry and Molecular Biology University of Northern British Columbia, 3333 University Way, Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, V2N 4Z9 *Corresponding authors: [email protected] and [email protected] Key words: Ephemeroptera, Mayflies, British Columbia, Acerpenna pygmaea, Baetis phoebus, Baetis vernus, Iswaeon anoka, Procloeon pennulatum, Leucrocuta hebe, Tricorythodes mosegus, Siphlonurus alternatus, Page 1 of 22 PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26461v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 24 Jan 2018, publ: 24 Jan 2018 ABSTRACT We repeatedly sampled eight sites on the Crooked River in British Columbia’s Arctic watershed for adult and nymph mayflies (Ephemeroptera) over the course of two years. Using taxonomic keys and DNA-barcoding we report eight new species records for the province. These are five Baetidae (Acerpenna pygmaea, Baetis phoebus, Baetis vernus, Iswaeon anoka, and Procloeon pennulatum), one Heptageniidae (Leucrocuta hebe), one Leptohyphidae (Tricorythodes mosegus), and one Siphlonuridae (Siphlonurus alternatus). Three of these – Acerpenna, Iswaeon, and Leucrocuta – are also new genus records for the province. In total we detected 40 species in eight families as indicated by clustering into BINs (Barcode Index Numbers), by morphological keys, and by matches in the Barcode of Life Database. One of those species, Ameletus vernalis, is of conservation concern. Our analysis indicated that a number of other specimens may represent new species or genus records for BC. In addition this unique and anthropogenically impacted river may contain cryptic species of Baetis tricaudatus (Baetidae), Leptophlebia nebulosa (Leptophlebiidae), and Paraleptophlebia debilis (Leptophlebiidae). -
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 Derive 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. -
The Species Composition and Adaptations of Insects in an Intermittent Stream in Western Oregon
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MICHAEL PETER TEW for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in ENTOMOLOGY presented on OCTOBEA 19, 1970 (Major) (Date) Title: THE SPECIES COMPOSITION AND ADAPTATIONS OF INSECTS IN AN INTERMITTENT STREAM IN WESTERN OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy N. H. Anderson The insect fauna of a small second order intermittent stream near Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon was studied.The species composition was determined, attempts were made to monitor migra- tion to the stream, qualitative and quantitative benthos samples were taken, emergence was sampled, the dry stream bed was examined for forms of aquatic life, and some species were studied under laboratory conditions. About 58 species of aquatic insects from eight orders were collected from the stream.Forty-eight of the 58 (about 83%) appear to have colonized the stream via aerial movements of adults from permanent waters.The remainder (ten of the 58, or about 17%) were able to colonize the stream without spending the summer dry period in a permanent body of water.These species survived the summer either in the dry stream bed as eggs (the mayfly Centroptilum elsa Traver), larvae (the corydalid Protochauliodes spenceri Munroe), or adults (the aquatic beetles Agabus confertus Le Conte and A. lugens Le Conte), or in the terrestrial environment as quiescent adults having an ovarial diapause (six species of Limnephilidae).The drought resistant eggs of C. elsa and the ovarial diapause of the limnephilid Hesperophylax incisus Banks were studied under labora- tory conditions, and results are discussed. Life history information and general microhabitat preferences are given for most species, and the nature ofthe stream bed of an intermittent stream during the dry period is discussed as having an important influence on the species composition of a given intermit- tent stream. -
