ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many friends were made during my stint at Texas State University, San Marcos, and I am grateful for their acquaintance. All are due the highest thanks for the camaraderie over the years and I look forward to many more. Dr. James Garber and Dr. Stephen L. Black, members of my committee, deserve high praise for their support, guidance, and patience. Additionally, Dr. Garber deserves recognition for funding the faunal analysis, outsourced to the Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, without which this thesis would not be possible. I am indebted to Dr. Kandace Hollenbach and Ms. Jessica Lee Vavrasek for conducting the faunal analysis and I hope my use of their work is more than satisfactory. I want to especially thank Dr. Britt Bousman, who chaired my committee. To him I am most grateful, as he deftly molded an education without direction into one that I am extremely proud of. I suspect he knew very well where this thesis was headed, even when I did not. Honorable mention goes to Dr. Frank Reilly, who, as he has been to many over the years, acted as an additional consultant and mentor to me while at Texas State. Lastly, I would like to extend my love and thanks to my parents, without whom this undertaking would not have been possible.

  • 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).
