There can be a large amount of overlap among species, and for individuals within species, in terms of daily and/or seasonal behavior habits. It is possible for the activity patterns of mammals to change due to variations in weather, food availability or human disturbances.

    Rare Native Animals of RI

    RARE NATIVE ANIMALS OF RHODE ISLAND Revised: March, 2006 ABOUT THIS LIST The list is divided by vertebrates and invertebrates and is arranged taxonomically according to the recognized authority cited before each group. Appropriate synonomy is included where names have changed since publication of the cited authority. The Natural Heritage Program's Rare Native Plants of Rhode Island includes an estimate of the number of "extant populations" for each listed plant species, a figure which has been helpful in assessing the health of each species. Because animals are mobile, some exhibiting annual long-distance migrations, it is not possible to derive a population index that can be applied to all animal groups. The status assigned to each species (see definitions below) provides some indication of its range, relative abundance, and vulnerability to decline. More specific and pertinent data is available from the Natural Heritage Program, the Rhode Island Endangered Species Program, and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. STATUS. The status of each species is designated by letter codes as defined: (FE) Federally Endangered (7 species currently listed) (FT) Federally Threatened (2 species currently listed) (SE) State Endangered Native species in imminent danger of extirpation from Rhode Island. These taxa may meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Formerly considered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Federal listing as endangered or threatened. 2. Known from an estimated 1-2 total populations in the state. 3. Apparently globally rare or threatened; estimated at 100 or fewer populations range-wide. Animals listed as State Endangered are protected under the provisions of the Rhode Island State Endangered Species Act, Title 20 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.

Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife .

    Butterfly Gardening Tips & Tricks Gardening for Butterflies Is Fun, Beautiful, and Good for the Environment

    Butterfly Gardening Tips & Tricks Gardening for butterflies is fun, beautiful, and good for the environment. It is also simple and can be done in almost any location. The key guidelines are listed below: NO PESTICIDES! Caterpillars are highly susceptible to almost all pesticides so keep them away from your yard if you want butterflies to thrive. Select the right plants. You will need to provide nectar sources for adults and host plants for caterpillars. See the lists below for inspiration. Keep to native varieties as much as possible. Plants come in lots and lots of varieties and cultivars. When selecting plants, especially host plants, try to find native species as close to the natural or wild variety as possible. Provide shelter. Caterpillars need shelter from the sun and shelter from cold nights. Adults need places to roost during the night. And protected areas are needed for the chrysalis to safely undergo its transformation. The best way to provide shelter is with large clumps of tall grasses (native or ornamental) and medium to large evergreen trees and/or shrubs. Nectar Sources Top Ten Nectar Sources: Asclepias spp. (milkweed) Aster spp. Buddleia spp. (butterfly bush) Coreopsis spp. Echinacea spp. (coneflower) Eupatorium spp. (joe-pye weed) Lantana spp. Liatris spp. Pentas spp. Rudbeckia spp. (black-eyed susan) Others: Agastache spp. (hyssop), Apocynum spp. (dogbane), Ceanothus americanus (New Jersey tea), Cephalanthus occidentalis (button bush), Clethra alnifolia, Cuphea spp. (heather), Malus spp. (apple), Mentha spp. (mint), Phlox spp., Pycanthemum incanum (mountain mint), Salivs spp. (sage), Sedum spectabile (stonecrop), Stokesia laevis (cornflower), Taraxacum officinale (dandelion), Triofolium spp.

Papuk in the spring area of the Dubo~anka stream in July 2004. The habitats on Mt. Papuk are suitable for the species' long term survival; therefore the area was proposed as a NATURA 2000 site for this threatened and protected species. As the species has disappeared from many European countries, this recent record is of great importance and empha- sizes the need for further field research efforts to confirm resident populations of the species, its distribution area and population status.

  • Appendix A: Common and Scientific Names for Fish and Wildlife Species Found in Idaho

    Appendix A: Common and Scientific Names for Fish and Wildlife Species Found in Idaho

    APPENDIX A: COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SPECIES FOUND IN IDAHO. How to Read the Lists. Within these lists, species are listed phylogenetically by class. In cases where phylogeny is incompletely understood, taxonomic units are arranged alphabetically. Listed below are definitions for interpreting NatureServe conservation status ranks (GRanks and SRanks). These ranks reflect an assessment of the condition of the species rangewide (GRank) and statewide (SRank). Rangewide ranks are assigned by NatureServe and statewide ranks are assigned by the Idaho Conservation Data Center. GX or SX Presumed extinct or extirpated: not located despite intensive searches and virtually no likelihood of rediscovery. GH or SH Possibly extinct or extirpated (historical): historically occurred, but may be rediscovered. Its presence may not have been verified in the past 20–40 years. A species could become SH without such a 20–40 year delay if the only known occurrences in the state were destroyed or if it had been extensively and unsuccessfully looked for. The SH rank is reserved for species for which some effort has been made to relocate occurrences, rather than simply using this status for all elements not known from verified extant occurrences. G1 or S1 Critically imperiled: at high risk because of extreme rarity (often 5 or fewer occurrences), rapidly declining numbers, or other factors that make it particularly vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation. G2 or S2 Imperiled: at risk because of restricted range, few populations (often 20 or fewer), rapidly declining numbers, or other factors that make it vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation. G3 or S3 Vulnerable: at moderate risk because of restricted range, relatively few populations (often 80 or fewer), recent and widespread declines, or other factors that make it vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation.
  • Inter-Specific Hybridization Between Limenitis Arthemis

    Inter-Specific Hybridization Between Limenitis Arthemis

    278 JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY INTER-SP ECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN LIMENITIS ARTHEMIS ASTYANAX AND L. ARCHIPPUS (NYMPHALIDAE) AUSTIN P. PLATT University of Maryland Baltimore County, Catonsville, Maryland and JOSEPH C. GREENFIELD, JR. Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina The Nearctic genus Limenitis (Nymphalidae) contains five common, geographically widespread forms, all of which are polytypic, and exhibit tendencies toward hybridization (Edwards, 1879; Scudder, 1889; Field, 1904; Gunder, 1934; Remington, 1958, 1968; Gage, 1970). Four of the forms are mainly allopatric in their distributions, occupying adjacent re­ gions, and coming in contact only along certain margins of their ranges (Hovanitz, 1949). Included among these are two conspecific eastern forms: the banded purple (L. arthemis arthemis Drury) and the red­ spotted purple (L. arthemis astyanax Fabricius) , an unbanded mimic of the blue swallowtail (Hattus philenor L.). In addi,tion, thcre are two western disruptively banded species: Weidemeyer's admiral (L. weide­ meyel'ii Edwards) and Lorquin's admiral (L. lOl'quini Boisduval). These four forms are closely allied, and conform well to Mayr's (1963) definition of a "super-species." Thc two subspecific eastern butterflies exhibit "fr.ee-interbreeding" and complete intergradation within the north­ castern United Statcs and southern Ontario (Edwards, 1877; Field, 1910; Hovanitz, 1949; Platt and Brower, 1968; Hcmington, 1968; Platt, Frearson, and Graves, 1970), whereas, the two western species exhibit "suturing" and "intense" interbreeding in certain restricted localities, often associated with mountain passes (Brown, 1934; Perkins and Perkins, 1966; Perkins and Perkins, 1967; Hemington, 1968). The fifth form is the predominantly orange-colored Viceroy (L. arch­ ippus Cramer).
