DELANGE DIVISION CHIEF STEPHANIE GUYON DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL PHONE: (208) 334-4135 [email protected] INTRODUCTION In September 2013, the Attorney General's Office ("Attorney General") received a referral from Dr. Jeff Rosenthal, Executive Director for the Idaho Humane Society ("the Society"), concerning the activities of the Idaho Aquarium, Inc. ("Idaho Aquarium"), an I.RC.§ 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in Boise, Idaho. Dr. Rosenthal reported to the Attorney General that, during the Society's investigation of animal welfare complaints, he spoke to Idaho Aquarium employees who expressed concerns with how the Idaho Aquarium's Board of Directors ("the Board") was governing the nonprofitcorporation and managing its charitable assets. Telephone calls and emails to the Attorney General fromconcerned Board members coincided with Dr. Rosenthal's referral. Board members reported to the Attorney General that the members had splintered into two factions, which prevented the Board from governing the Idaho Aquarium's affairs. The dominant faction was ruled by the Idaho Aquarium's President and Interim Executive Director who allegedly refused to provide the weaker faction with the Idaho Aquarium's complete financialrecords. Board members also alleged that, with the Board's knowledge and approval, the Idaho Aquarium's founders and former Board members-Ammon Covino ("Covino") and Christopher Conk ("Conk")-had misappropriated the Idaho Aquarium's charitable assets.

Fireflies and glowworms are iconic insects whose conspicuous bioluminescent courtship displays carry unique cultural significance, giving them economic value as ecotourist attractions. Despite evidence of declines, a comprehensive review of the conservation status and threats facing the approximately 2000 firefly species worldwide is lacking. We conducted a survey of experts from diverse geographic regions to identify the most prominent perceived threats to firefly population and species persistence.

  • Validating Species Distribution Models to Illuminate Coastal Fireflies in The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Validating species distribution models to illuminate coastal frefies in the South Pacifc (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) Laura N. Sutherland1,2*, Gareth S. Powell2 & Seth M. Bybee2,3 The coastal areas of Vanuatu are under a multitude of threats stemming from commercialization, human development, and climate change. Atyphella Ollif is a genus of frefy that includes species endemic to these coastal areas and will need protection. The research that has already been conducted was afected by accessibility due to the remote nature of the islands which left numerous knowledge gaps caused by a lack of distributional data (e.g., Wallacean shortfall). Species distribution models (SDM) are a powerful tool that allow for the modeling of the broader distribution of a taxon, even with limited distributional data available. SDMs assist in flling the knowledge gap by predicting potential areas that could contain the species of interest, making targeted collecting and conservation eforts more feasible when time, resources, and accessibility are major limiting factors. Here a MaxEnt prediction was used to direct feld collecting and we now provide an updated predictive distribution for this endemic frefy genus. The original model was validated with additional feldwork, ultimately expanding the known range with additional locations frst identifed using MaxEnt. A bias analysis was also conducted, providing insight into the efect that developments such as roads and settlements have on collecting and therefore the SDM, ultimately allowing for a more critical assessment of the overall model. After demonstrating the accuracy of the original model, this new updated SDM can be used to identify specifc areas that will need to be the target of future conservation eforts by local government ofcials.

  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service North Atlantic-Appalachian Region Endangered Species Act Update February 4, 2020
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service North Atlantic-Appalachian Region Endangered Species Act Update February 4, 2020 White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) (All States) White-nose syndrome has been confirmed in 33 states and 7 Canadian provinces. Additionally, the disease-causing fungus has been detected or is suspected to be present in Mississippi, Texas, Wyoming, North Dakota and California without confirmation of disease. The disease has been confirmed in at least 12 species of North American hibernating bats. The most recent addition to this list is the fringed myotis, a western species that has been exposed to the fungus since at least 2017. WNS Grants: o The FWS is reviewing ~40 submissions to the WNS Challenge which is seeking creative solutions to permanently disarm or weaken the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome. Total prize money available is $100,000. The WNS Challenge complements other efforts to fight white-nose syndrome. o The FWS is preparing to post notice for the WNS Grants to States and Tribes for 2020 in the coming months on www.Grants.gov. These funds are awarded to support states and tribes in implementing conservation actions for bats, fulfilling information needs of management entities, and implementing the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). FWS is coordinating closely with USGS, Fort Collins Science Center to advance the goals and efforts of NABat. This coordination includes actions of an internal working group comprised of personnel working in Ecological Services, National Wildlife Refuges, and Science Applications, as well as facilitating bat monitoring efforts of non- FWS partners. FWS and NABat will achieve objectives using a combination of acoustic monitoring and counting of bats at summer and winter roosts across their ranges.

  • A Preliminary Assessment of the Ground-Dwelling Arthropod Community Composition in Six Common Dune Cover Types at Cape Cod National Seashore
    2013 NORTHEASTERNNortheastern Naturalist NATURALIST 20(3):529–539Vol. 20, No. 3 B.C. Timm and K. McGarigal A Preliminary Assessment of the Ground-Dwelling Arthropod Community Composition in Six Common Dune Cover Types at Cape Cod National Seashore Brad C. Timm1,* and Kevin McGarigal1 Abstract - We provide a preliminary assessment of the ground-dwelling arthropod com- munity composition in six common coastal dune ecosystem land cover-types at Cape Cod National Seashore. We captured 6815 individual arthropods representing 16 arthropod orders from 1008 terrestrial pitfall trap-nights. The most abundant orders were Hyme- noptera, Diptera, Araneae, and Isopoda (76.1%, 8.5%, 5.5%, and 3.3% of total captures, respectively). There were differences in ground-dwelling arthropod community compo- sition among the three early-successional and the three later-successional cover types, with the latter having a greater overall arthropod diversity and higher capture rates for a number of the major arthropod taxa captured. Our report is among the first community- wide analyses of arthropod community composition in coastal dune ecosystems of the northeastern US. The results from this study should be viewed as a preliminary assess- ment given that: 1) we employed a single trapping method (i.e., pitfall traps); 2) traps were only open during the late-afternoon to early morning hours, and only during the summer months; and 3) captured arthropods were classified only to order. We hope our report will inspire additional research of coastal dune arthropod communities. Introduction In many terrestrial ecosystems, arthropods comprise the greatest faunal spe- cies diversity, biomass, and number of individuals (Gaston 1991, Ponder and Lunney 1999, Wilson 1985).

  • CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The Chesapeake Bay Lowlands Plan is a first iteration. The draft report that was distributed in hardcopy for review on 6/27/2002 is included on the CD. No updates were made to that version. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the CBY ecoregional plan report. Some of the CBY results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on index in the navigation plane to browse the report sections. Note: The Bibliography (still slightly incomplete) contains the references cited in all report sections except for the Marine references, which have their own bibliography. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional planning in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone.
