  • Arizona Wildlife Notebook
    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

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).

  • Distribution, Ecology and Status of a Threatened Species Ischnura Intermedia (Insecta: Odonata), New for Europe
    International Journal of Odonatology, 2016 Vol. 19, No. 4, 257–274, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2016.1259662 Distribution, ecology and status of a threatened species Ischnura intermedia (Insecta: Odonata), new for Europe Geert De Knijfa∗, David J. Sparrowb, Andreas C. Dimitriouc, Roger Kentb, Heather Kentb, Klaus Siedleb, Jenny Lewisb and Linda Crossleyb aDepartment of Biodiversity and Natural Environment, Research Institute for Nature and Forest, Brussels, Belgium; bCyprus Dragonfly Study Group, Pafos, Cyprus; cDepartment of Biological Sciences, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus (Received 24 June 2016; final version received 3 November 2016) The dragonfly genus Ischnura has been the subject of numerous studies and is well studied in Europe and the Middle East. Nevertheless, information on the ecology, habitat preferences and phylogenetic relation- ships of some species is deficient. One species lacking such data is Ischnura intermedia, a near endemic species of the Middle East, found for the first time in Europe on Cyprus in 2013, where it occurs in five river valleys. In this study, we monitored I. intermedia in Cyprus where the species has a long flight period from the end of March until mid-November. Our results show that it has two and possibly even three generations a year, with the males of the first generation having reduced blue coloration on abdom- inal segments 8 and 9. Ischnura intermedia is confined to small secondary channels adjacent to streams and rivulets where the current slows and water is retained. It appears that populations can only become established at sites that have permanent water. It is therefore anticipated that the species will be under severe pressure within its range.
