The Credit River Watershed is also part of the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee, and home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples today. Treaties made with Indigenous Peoples are enduring and include responsibilities for both parties. We affirm that this land and water is our common source of life and we must all share responsibility for its care and stewardship for now and future generations. We would like to thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation for their support during the Invasive Species Strategy (ISS) process. CVC would also like to acknowledge the assistance of all those who have worked and commented on the Invasive Species Strategy (ISS): • The many stakeholders who gave their time and energy to participate in workshops and review the draft technical report.

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

Hawkeswood & H. Takizawa Abstract: The leaf beetle Stethomela submetallica Baly is described from larval and adult material collected by the first author from subtropical rainforest / wet sclerophyll forest in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. The egg is also described. Adults and larvae feed on the young, fresh leaves of the small rainforest tree, Guilfoylia monostylis (Benth.) F. Muell. (Surianaceae). This plant has not been recorded previously as a host plant for any Australian chrysomelid beetle, no other Coleoptera are presently known from this plant and the family Surianaceae has not been recorded previously as a host family for the Chrysomelidae, either in Australia or elsewhere in the world. The larval morphology of S. submetallica indicates that the genus Stetho­ mela should be placed in the subtribe Chrysolinina Chen 1936 of the tribe Chrysomelini Reitter (subfamily Chrysomelinae).

Fasulo2 Introduction 1863 to 1867, including the ten-striped spearman, ten-lined potato beetle, potato-bug, and new potato bug. Colorado True potato beetles are members of the genus Leptinotarsa, was not associated with the insect until Walsh (1865) stated with more than 40 species throughout North and South that two of his colleagues had seen large numbers of the America including at least 10 species found north of insect in the territory of Colorado feeding on buffalo-bur.

It was the southwestern United States, two species are found either Riley (1867) who first used the combination Colorado in the eastern states or throughout most of the United potato beetle. States (Arnett 2002). The more notable of these two is the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), which is a serious pest of potatoes and other solanaceous plants. The Colorado potato beetle was first discovered by Thomas Nuttal in 1811 and described in 1824 by Thomas Say from specimens collected in the Rocky Mountains on buffalo- bur, Solanum rostratum Ramur. The insect’s association with the potato plant, Solanum tuberosum (L.), was not known until about 1859 when it began destroying potato crops about 100 miles west of Omaha, Nebraska. The insect began its rapid spread eastward, reaching the Atlantic Coast by 1874. The evolution of the name Colorado potato beetle is Figure 1.
