REQUEST TO THE Al'THORS The style and lay-out of the manuscripts should strictly follow the published examples. I his also applies to the literature citations and to species- and reference listing. The manuscripts should be douhle-spaccd. the illustra­ tions and acknowledgements should be kept al the absolute minimum, and all footnotes should be omitted. Figures and (whenever possible) tables are primed al the column width, therefore the labelling should be of adequate size to withstand the reduction. As a rule manuscripts not exceeding 3 typed pages appear as "Brief Notes". The publication of manuscripts, not prepared in accordance with the N O W LA F. style and lay-out will suffer considerable delay. No "clean" reprints can be supplied; instead, the authors will receive the ordered number of pages containing their article. Orders below 50 copies cannot be considered. Editorial Board: T W.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • Preliminary Survey and Inventory of Odonates of the Primitive Texas Big Thicket-With Notes on Their Distribution During the 2010-2011 Texas Drought
    Survey of Big Thicket Odonates: Preliminary Survey and Inventory of Odonates of the Primitive Texas Big Thicket-with notes on their distribution during the 2010-2011 Texas Drought *Autumn J. Smith-Herron and **Tamara J. Cook *Texas Research Institute for Environmental Studies; **Department of Biological Sciences Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas 77341-2506 *[email protected] Abstract. — As part of an ongoing survey of odonate diversity in the Big Thicket and Primitive Big Thicket regions of east-central Texas, U.S.A. (including some collections in west and south Texas), we made some interesting observations about odonate populations during the drought year 2010-2011in comparison to previous (non-drought) years. Our current research not only documents odonate diversity, but the gregarine parasite communities within (parasite communities nested within odonate communities). In part, this has allowed us to document trends in odonate species success over several years of field collections as well as discover/describe new parasite species. The most interesting trend however is noted during the 2010-2011 drought across Texas. In addition, during these surveys, we have discovered and documented several new odonate county records as well as one state record. Introduction. — During a year-long survey and inventory of Odonata from the Big Thicket National Preserve and surrounding areas of southeast Texas, we noted a significant decline in diversity within certain groups of Zygoptera in comparison to previous years. The onset of the 2010-2011 collecting season was initiated as a result of funding provided through the Big Thicket Association, and served to document the odonate fauna from the Big Thicket National Preserve (and Primitive Big Thicket areas).

Wetlands in dense urban centers differ from natural systems due to their modified hydrology, geomorphology, and increased non-native plant species, but they perform critical functions such as reducing flood risk, improving water quality, and providing wildlife habitat. Prior to this study, knowledge of the wetland extent for much of the city was outdated and coarse, much of it based on 1980’s mapping.

  • Phylogeny of the Genus Argia (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) with Emphasis on Evolution
    Phylogeny of the Genus Argia (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) with Emphasis on Evolution of Reproductive Morphology Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ryan Matthew Caesar Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Norman Johnson, Advisor Dr. Marymegan Daly Dr. John Freudenstein Dr. Hans Klompen Copyright by Ryan Matthew Caesar 2012 Abstract The damselfly genus Argia is found throughout the New World where some species are common and abundant members of lotic freshwater and adjacent ecosystems. Argia species are not only important predators of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates but are themselves an important prey item to a variety of other insects and vertebrates. The distribution of species is highly variable within the genus and some species are locally threatened or endangered due to range limitation and habitat loss. Damselflies and dragonflies (Odonata) may be useful indicators of aquatic ecosystem health as well as indicators of climate change. There are approximately 120 species described with at least twenty suspected undescribed species. The taxonomy of the North American species is well known, but the Central and South American species are in need of revision. The phylogeny of the genus has never been studied using modern, repeatable methods. Therefore the evolutionary history of the genus has never been thoroughly explored. The reproductive biology of Odonata is unique among insects and provides a model system for testing hypotheses related to character evolution by sexual selection and other mechanisms of evolution.
