APPENDIX 14. NatureServe National and Subnational (State/Province) Heritage Status Rank Definitions. (From Master et al. (2012)

Status Definition

NX Presumed Extirpated—Species or ecosystem is believed to be extirpated from SX the jurisdiction (i.e., nation, or state/province). Not located despite intensive searches of historical sites and other appropriate habitat, and virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. [Equivalent to “Regionally Extinct” in IUCN Red List terminology]

NH Possibly Extirpated – Known only from historical records but still some hope of SH rediscovery. There is evidence that the species or ecosystem may no longer be present in the jurisdiction, but not enough to state this with certainty. Examples of such evidence include (1) that a species has not been documented in approximately 20-40 years despite some searching and/or some evidence of significant habitat loss or degradation; (2) that a species or ecosystem has been searched for unsuccessfully, but not thoroughly enough to presume that it is no longer present in the jurisdiction.

N1 Critically Imperiled—At very high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to S1 very restricted range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.

N2 Imperiled—At high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to restricted range, S2 few populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.

N3 Vulnerable—At moderate risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a fairly S3 restricted range, relatively few populations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines, threats, or other factors.

N4 Apparently Secure—At a fairly low risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to S4 an extensive range and/or many populations or occurrences but with possible cause for some concern as a result of local recent declines, threats, or other factors.

N5 Secure—At very low or no risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a very S5 extensive range, abundant populations or occurrences, with little to no concern from declines or threats.

Variant National and Subnational Conservation Ranks

Rank Definition

N#N# Range Rank —A numeric range rank (e.g., S2S3 or S1S3) is used to indicate any S#S# range of uncertainty about the status of the species or ecosystem. Ranges cannot skip more than two ranks (e.g., SU is used rather than S1S4).

NU Unrankable—Currently unrankable due to lack of information or due to SU substantially conflicting information about status or trends.

NNR Unranked—Nation or subnational (state/province) conservation status not yet SNR assessed.

NNA Not Applicable —A conservation status rank is not applicable because the SNA species is not a suitable target for conservation activities.

Not Species is known to occur in this nation or state/province. Contact the relevant Provided natural heritage program for assigned conservation status.

APPENDIX 16. Species Status Assessment Criteria and Summarized Assessment Values

To assess the conservation status of all native, extant Iowa wildlife species, we utilized 8 criteria. The Wildlife Working Group developed a scoring process in which each criterion was weighted according to our understanding of the relative contribution of each factor to a species’ overall conservation status. The theoretical potential score for an individual species ranges from 0 - 3.75. Individual species scores ranged from 0.57 (for the Slippershell Mussel, which has not been observed in Iowa since 1984) to 3.75 (for several species of low conservation concern that have been expanding their range within Iowa). The cutoff value was set at < 3.0, meaning that if a species score was a 3.0 or lower, it was categorized as Species of Greatest Conservation Need.

Status Assessment Criteria Species with 2 or more fields that are unknown went into a separate “Data Deficient” category of species for which information requirements are high. Data Deficient Species will be categorized as SGCN. If a species has been extirpated from the state, it was also put into a separate category for further discussion; some extirpated species may be included as SGCN and others may not, depending on whether the species is a candidate for restoration activities within the state.

Range-wide Factor

Criteria 1: Range Extent – Area encompassing all known and projected occurrences, excluding vagrancy. This includes the entire range, not just the range extent within Iowa. (Breeding range only for migratory species)

Rank Range in square Examples of Comparable Range in km2 Value miles Size no occurrences believed to be extant; 0 NA NA species presumed extinct 1 <1000 km2 < about 400 Rocky Mountain Natl Park square miles 2 1,000 -5000 km2 400 - 2,000 square Prince Edward Island miles 3 5,000 - 100,000 km2 2,000 - 40,000 Kentucky square miles 4 100,000 - 2,50,000 km2 40,000 - 1,000,000 Alaska + Texas square miles 5 >2,500,000 km2 > 1,000,000 > Alaska + Texas square miles

(Note - This is not intended to be an estimate of the amount of occupied or potential habitat. The use of this parameter is to determine the degree to which risks from threatening factors are spread spatially across the geographic distribution of the species.)

Iowa-Only Factors

Criteria 2: Area of Occupancy  Extent of historical range within Iowa which currently supports the species. (Breeding and Migratory Range) - 0 = Species known from < 10% historic range - 1 = Species known from 11-25% historic range - 2 = Species known from 26-50% historic range - 3 = Species known from 51-75% historic range - 4 = Species known from 76-100% historic range - 5 = Species known from >100% historic range

Criteria 3: Long-term Trend  Can be population numbers, density, or area occupied since time of European settlement in Iowa (Breeding and migratory range) - 0 = Species has declined by > 90% - 1 = Species has declined by 68 - 89% - 2 = Species has declined by 41 - 67% - 3 = Species has declined by 11- 40% - 4 = Species has declined by 0 - 10% - 5 = Species has increased

Criteria 4: Short-term Trend  Can be population numbers, density or area occupied for past ten years in Iowa. - 0 = Species has declined by > 90% - 1 = Species has declined by 68 - 89% - 2 = Species has declined by 41 - 67% - 3 = Species has declined by 11- 40% - 4 = Species has declined by 0 - 10% - 5 = Species has increased

Criteria 5: Ecological Specialization (Population Concentration)  Degree to which individuals within populations congregate or aggregate seasonally or daily in Iowa (e.g. hibernacula, breeding sites, migration focal points). - 0 = Majority of individuals congregate at a single location - 1 = Individuals concentrate at 1-25 locations - 2 = Individuals congregate at over 25 sites or do not concentrate

Criteria 6: Ecological Specialization (Dietary)  Relates to the primary way in which local populations respond to decreases in availability of preferred food type. - 0 = Number of individuals declines, no shift in diet - 1 = Some shift in diet, population suffers but stabilizes - 2 = Species shifts to different diet, no impact to population

Criteria 7: Ecological Specialization (General)  Species has some unique life history requirement not addressed above (e.g. hibernacula requirements; narrow ambient temperature limits; specific roosting structure) - 0 = Highly specialized - 1 = Moderately specialized - 2 = Not specialized

Criteria 8: Threat Not Addressed Above  List and rank any threat not addressed above (e.g. mussels lack of recruitment; butterflies uni- or multi-voltine) If no threat, score as 4, if 0-3, articulate what threat is. - 0 = Severe threat to species endurance - 1 = High threat to species endurance - 2 = Medium threat to species endurance - 3 = Low threat to species endurance - 4 = no threat to species endurance

APPENDIX 17. Informational Form for Nomination of New Taxonomic Groups to the Iowa Wildlife Action Plan

The Iowa Wildlife Action Plan (IWAP) currently includes all animals known to occur (or have occurred) in Iowa in the following Classes: Mammals, Birds, Amphibians, Fish, Reptiles, Odonates, Butterflies, Crayfish, and Mussels. In addition, the IWAP includes 5 species of terrestrial snails which are State threatened or endangered.

In order to include any additional taxonomic group in the Iowa Wildlife Action Plan, this set of questions needs to be returned to Karen Kinkead at [email protected]. In addition, to be included, all Iowa species within the taxonomic group will need to have the Species Status Assessment Scoring Criteria completed (see Appendix 16).

Definition of taxonomic group – preferably an entire order or sub-order of species known to occur within Iowa, but we will consider groups as small as complete genera occurring within Iowa.

Please provide the following information: 1. Species list in taxonomic order to include: a. Order, Family, Genus, species, Common Name b. This can be placed into an excel spreadsheet. 2. Justification for why you are limiting this group to any list less than the complete Order of species occurring in Iowa. 3. How long the taxon has been studied in Iowa (i.e. are there historic data?) a. Are there publications from this work? What are they? 4. What portions of the state have been surveyed for this taxon? (statewide, concentrated within one region, or concentrated within one habitat type or land use?) 5. Who are the primary people working on that taxon within Iowa? a. Would they be willing to donate their time and expertise (serving on informational committees, assisting with species knowledge, etc.)? 6. What percentage of the taxonomic group is believed to be declining and why? 7. What are the threats to those species and are the treats something that can be controlled or changed? 8. How many of those species can be ranked using our ranking criteria and how many would be data deficient? (See attached criteria). This can be an estimate for the October 15 deadline. 9. Can you identify any potential grants/sources of funding (non-DNR) to study these species? 10. What exact data sources exist or are available for Iowa for these species? Do you have access to these data sources? 11. What are the accepted, standardized protocols for monitoring or documenting the species? How widespread are these protocols implemented? 12. Contact information for person sponsoring the taxon?
