The reports may be cited in publications but their manuscript status should be clearly indicated. , 1, 1 l 11 INTRODUCTION In recent years the Science Section of the Nova Scotia Museum has r ecei ved increasingly frequent requests from government and private agencies , and from individuals, for information on plant and animal species or communiti es which are of exceptional scientific value or interest and which may be affected by various kinds of proposed development. These requests fall i nto two categories : information on species or communities occurring at a particular location, and information on the distribution and vulnerability of a species or group of species throughout the province as a whole. Requests in the first category generally cannot be anticipated, and the Science Section r esponds to each one, using a Locality File listing its biological collections by county and location, supplemented by special knowledge of the staff when possible.

    Daniel Boone National Forest Appendix H Appendix H VIABILITY EVALUATION TABLES TERRESTRIAL HABITAT ELEMENTS, TABLE H – 1 Outcomes for terrestrial habitat elements are provided in Table H - 1, using the four variables described in the Terrestrial Species Viability Evaluation section of Chapter 3. These variables indicate expected habitat condition following 50 years of implementing each alternative. Key to Table H – 1 Habitat Abundance – Values used to categorize projected abundance of each habitat element after 50 years of implementing each forest plan revision alternative. Code Description R Rare. The habitat element is rare, with generally less than 100 occurrences, or patches of the element generally covering less than one percent of the planning area. O Occasional. The habitat element is encountered occasionally, and generally found on one to ten percent of the planning area. C Common. The habitat element is abundant and frequently encountered, and generally found on more than ten percent of the planning area. Habitat Distribution – Values used to categorize projected distribution of each habitat element after 50 years of implementing each forest plan revision alternative. Code Description P Poor. The habitat element is poorly distributed within the planning area and intermixed lands relative to conditions present prior to European settlement. Number and size of high quality habitat patches is greatly reduced. F Fair. The habitat element is fairly well distributed within the planning area and intermixed lands relative to conditions present prior to European settlement. Number and size of high quality habitat patches is somewhat reduced. G Good. The habitat element is well distributed within the planning area and intermixed lands relative to conditions present prior to European settlement.

  • The First Record of Anourosorex (Insectivora, Soricidae) from Western Myanmar, with Special Reference to Identification and Karyological Characters
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser.

They were captured in a human-modified artificial environment, although mole shrews usually inhabit forests. External and skull measurements indicated that the species was Anourosorex assamensis, previously known only as an endemic species of the Assam region of India. This is the first record of this species from Myanmar. Karyological examination revealed the species was diploid with a fundamental autosomal number of 2n=50 and NFa=96. These numbers correspond to the Taiwanese species A. yamashinai, but several differences were apparent in chromosomal morphology and the position of secondary chromosomal constrictions. The karyological information suggests A. assamensis is a full species separate from A. squamipes in China. Key words : Mole shrew, Anourosorex assamensis, morphological identification, karyotype. karyotypes, and should therefore be considered Introduction separate species. After that, Hutterer (2005) Mole shrews, the genus Anourosorex Milne- reclassified all four Anourosorex as four distinct Edwards, 1872, are semifossorial shrews known species based on size differences.

  • Snakes of the Everglades Agricultural Area1 Michelle L
    CIR1462 Snakes of the Everglades Agricultural Area1 Michelle L. Casler, Elise V. Pearlstine, Frank J. Mazzotti, and Kenneth L. Krysko2 Background snakes are often escapees or are released deliberately and illegally by owners who can no longer care for them. Snakes are members of the vertebrate order Squamata However, there has been no documentation of these snakes (suborder Serpentes) and are most closely related to lizards breeding in the EAA (Tennant 1997). (suborder Sauria). All snakes are legless and have elongated trunks. They can be found in a variety of habitats and are able to climb trees; swim through streams, lakes, or oceans; Benefits of Snakes and move across sand or through leaf litter in a forest. Snakes are an important part of the environment and play Often secretive, they rely on scent rather than vision for a role in keeping the balance of nature. They aid in the social and predatory behaviors. A snake’s skull is highly control of rodents and invertebrates. Also, some snakes modified and has a great degree of flexibility, called cranial prey on other snakes. The Florida kingsnake (Lampropeltis kinesis, that allows it to swallow prey much larger than its getula floridana), for example, prefers snakes as prey and head. will even eat venomous species. Snakes also provide a food source for other animals such as birds and alligators. Of the 45 snake species (70 subspecies) that occur through- out Florida, 23 may be found in the Everglades Agricultural Snake Conservation Area (EAA). Of the 23, only four are venomous. The venomous species that may occur in the EAA are the coral Loss of habitat is the most significant problem facing many snake (Micrurus fulvius fulvius), Florida cottonmouth wildlife species in Florida, snakes included.

  • Copperhead & Endangered Species Agkistrodon Contortrix
    Natural Heritage Copperhead & Endangered Species Agkistrodon contortrix Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: Copperheads get their name due to their solid, relatively unmarked, coppery-colored head resembling the color of an old copper coin. As with all pit vipers, Copperheads have broad, triangularly shaped heads, with a distinct narrowing just behind the head. The eyes have vertically elliptical (catlike) pupils. There is a very thin line on each side of the face that separates the richer copper color of the top of the head from the lighter color of the lip area. The iris of the eye is pale gold, and the pupil is dark. On the body there is a series of dark brown to reddish, hourglass-shaped, cross bands. These are narrow in the middle of the body and broad to the sides. The ground color ranges from beige to tan. Body markings are continuous over the entire length of the body, including the tail. Young snakes are replicas of adults, except that the body has an overtone of light grey and the tip of the tail is yellow. Adult from Hampshire County; photo by Mike Jones/MassWildlife Adult Copperheads usually measure 60–90 cm (24–36 inches) in length; the newborn young are usually 18–23 ridge protrudes from the middle of each scale), giving cm (7–9 inches). Males usually have longer tails, but the snake a relatively rough-skinned appearance. females can grow to greater total lengths (up to 4 feet). There is no reliable external cue to differentiate the SIMILAR SPECIES IN MASSACHUSETTS: The sexes.
