  • An Annotated List of Southeastern Wyoming Rhopalocera
    1956 The Lepidopteristi' News 91 AN ANNOTATED LIST OF SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING RHOPALOCERA by GENE R. DEFoLlART Wyoming is among the least known areas entomologically in the United States. The older distribLltion lists of Lepidoptera all too frequently included "Colorado and Montana" in the range of a given species with Wyoming coo­ spicuous by its absence. Although an increasing amount of colleCting by lepidopterists has been done in the State in recent years, the dearth of published information remains. A complete list of the butterflies of the State has never been attempted. KLOTS (1930) recorded 78 species from Wyoming on the basis of colleCting at Moose, Teton County, in the northwest and io the Medicine Bow Range of Albany County in the southeast. While not intended as a state list by irs author, his paper remains the longest published list to date of Wyoming butterfly records. KLOTS recorded 43 species from Albany County with some additional ones from nearby northern Colorado localities. Additional published records, mostly by KLOTS (1937, 1940) and NABOKOV (1953), bring the total to nearly 60 species previously reported as occurring in southeastern Wyoming. The pur­ pose of the present paper is to report for the first time a great number of addi­ tional species occurring in the southeastern area, bringing the total to 127 species, many of which are recorded also for the first time from anywhere in Wyoming. There are many species yet to be recorded from the southeastern area that should turn up with additional collecting. The fauna of the north and west differs markedly from that of the southeast.

  • Status of Plant Species of Special Concern in US Forest Service
    Status of Plant Species of Special Concern In US Forest Service Region 4 In Wyoming Report prepared for the US Forest Service By Walter Fertig Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming PO Box 3381 Laramie, WY 82071 20 January 2000 INTRODUCTION The US Forest Service is directed by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and internal policy (through the Forest Service Manual) to manage for listed and candidate Threatened and Endangered plant species on lands under its jurisdiction. The Intermountain Region of the Forest Service (USFS Region 4) has developed a Sensitive species policy to address the management needs of rare plants that might qualify for listing under the ESA (Joslin 1994). The objective of this policy is to prevent Forest Service actions from contributing to the further endangerment of Sensitive species and their subsequent listing under the ESA. In addition, the Forest Service is required to manage for other rare species and biological diversity under provisions of the National Forest Management Act. The current Sensitive plant species list for Region 4 (covering Ashley, Bridger-Teton, Caribou, Targhee, and Wasatch-Cache National Forests and Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Wyoming) was last revised in 1994 (Joslin 1994). Field studies by botanists with the Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Herbarium, Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD), and private consulting firms since 1994 have shown that several currently listed species may no longer warrant Sensitive designation, while some new species should be considered for listing. Region 4 is currently reviewing its Sensitive plant list and criteria for listing. This report has been prepared to provide baseline information on the statewide distribution and abundance of 127 plants listed as “species of special concern” by WYNDD (Table 1) (Fertig and Beauvais 1999).

  • Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest
    Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest October 2012 Colorado Natural Heritage Program Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest Prepared for: USDA Forest Service Rio Grande National Forest 1803 W. Highway 160 Monte Vista, CO 81144 Prepared by: Joanna Lemly Colorado Natural Heritage Program Warner College of Natural Resources Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 All photos taken by Colorado Natural Heritage Program Staff. Copyright © 2012 Colorado State University Colorado Natural Heritage Program All Rights Reserved EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rio Grande National Forest (RGNF) covers 1.83 million acres in south central Colorado and contains the very headwaters of the Rio Grande River. The Forest’s diverse geography creates a template for equally diverse wetlands, which provide important ecological services to both the RGNF and lands downstream. Though now recognized as a vital component of the landscape, many wetlands have been altered by a range of human land uses since European settlement. Across the RGNF, mining, logging, reservoirs, water diversions, grazing, and recreation have all impacted wetlands. In order to adequately manage and protect wetland resources on the RGNF, reliable data are needed on their location, extent and condition. Between 2008 and 2011, Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) partnered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded effort to map and assess the condition of wetlands throughout the Rio Grande Headwaters River Basin, which includes the RGNF. Existing paper maps of wetlands created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)’s National Wetland Inventory (NWI) program were converted to digital data by GIS Analysts at CPW.

    A RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY OF THE WESTERN PART OF THE DURANGO-GALLUP COAL FIELD OF COLO­ RADO AND NEW MEXICO." By MILLARD K. SHALER. INTRODUCTION. The area of the Durango-Gallup coal field includes 13,500 square miles, of which 1,900 lie in Colorado and the remainder in New Mexico. The total production of coal in this field in 1905 b was about 660,600 short tons, valued at nearly $1,000,000, exclusive of coke, of which about 12,000 short tons were produced. The entire tonnage of the field is estimated at 80,000,000,000 short tons, by figuring con­ servatively on a total workable thickness of 6 feet underlying the area, although 10 feet is probably a closer approximation of the average. The Durango-Gallup coal field extends from the latitude of Durango, Colo., on the north to the latitude pf Salt Lake, 70 miles south of Gallup, N. Mex., on the south, a distance of about 200 miles. Chama, Elvado, and the Sierra Nacimiento, in longitude 106° 45', are situated near the eastern boundary of the field, and its western limit is the New Mexico-Arizona boundary line. The width of the field is about 150 miles. (See PI. XXII.) In altitude the surface ranges from 5,000 to 9,000 feet, with an average of about 6,500 feet. The topography is varied, but on the whole the country is an open plateau in which the streams have cut valleys nearly 1,000 feet in depth. This paper, as may be seen by reference to the map, treats only of that part of the Durango-Gallup field lying west of longitude 107° 30'; Hence the remainder of the area will be given no further consid­ eration.0 The principal towns in Colorado within the region here considered are Durango and Mancos, located on the Denver and Rio "This preliminary report will be followed by a fuller description of the entire field, now in prepa­ ration, which will appear at an early date as a publication of the Survey.
