Species deleted from Species of Concern list - 2012

Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, University of Wyoming www.uwyo.edu/wyndd/ April 7, 2012 Of the 468 Wyoming Species of Concern on the 2007 list, 49 have been deleted. Their state rank and supporting information have been updated. Most are more common than previously known. Ten deleted species are on the sensitive lists of U.S. Forest Service Region 2 or Bureau of Land Management and are moved to the Species of Potential Concern list. The other 40 species are no longer tracked. New records will not be added to the latter set, though species data is retained in electronic and manual form for reference.
