A final critical habitat has been designated for this townsendii virginianus) species, but it consists of five caves in West Virginia, which is outside the project Critical Habitat No critical habitat present area.

The project area is approximately 5 miles from the (Polygyriscus virginianus) No critical habitat present New River bluffs (see attached map). Critical Habitat Habitat Requirements - This snail is usually in areas where limestone is mixed with clay soil. It is associated with permanently damp rock fragments and angular limestone pieces approximately 0.4 to 4.0 inches across. These areas are heavily shaded and may be overgrown with honeysuckle. Living individuals occur in the soil at depths of four to twenty-four inches. Live snails have never been observed on the soil surface. No other information is available on the life history of this species. The project scope does not include any work which will disturb or affect any permanently damp rock fragments as described above, so a determination of no effect was made. http://ecos.fws.gov/tess_public/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=G00Z#crithab 12/11/2015 Species Profile for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ECOS ECOS / Species Profile for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) Federal Register | Recovery | Critical Habitat | Conservation Plans | Petitions | Life History Taxonomy: View taxonomy in ITIS Listing Status: Endangered Where Listed: WHEREVER FOUND General Information The Indiana bat is a medium­sized Myotis, closely resembling the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) but differing in coloration.

DGIF recommends working to maintain or restore forested buffers surrounding occupied wetlands. These needs are consistent with action plan priorities to conserve and restore wetland habitats and associated buffers. Recently discovered populations within its known range, may indicate this species is more abundant than previously believed. An in-depth investigation into its status may warrant delisting.

Tenorio2, Carlos M. L. Afonso3, and Rafael Zardoya1 1Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), Departamento de Biodiversidad y Biologia Evolutiva 2Universidad de Cadiz, Departamento CMIM y Química Inorgánica – Instituto de Biomoléculas (INBIO) 3Universidade do Algarve, Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) Cone snails form one of the most diverse families of marine animals, including more than 900 species classified into almost ninety different (sub)genera. Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.

Join us for registration on campus followed by a welcome reception in historic downtown Fullerton on the evening of Thursday, June 25th, followed by a stimulating schedule of symposia, contributed talks, and a poster session from Friday, June 26th to Saturday, June 27th. We are delighted that many of you will join us for a field trip to Catalina Island on Sunday, June 28th. The Western Society of Malacologists (WSM) was born in 1948 as the Pacific Division of the American Malacological Union (AMU), now the American Malacological Society (AMS). The Pacific Division of the AMU held separate meetings on the west coast in years when the AMU met on the east coast. The WSM was established in 1968 as an independent society to improve our understanding of molluscs, and members include professional researchers, students, collectors, and other mollusk enthusiasts. A primary goal of the WSM is to encourage students to enter into the field of malacology and to support their research via grants.
