List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017
Washington Natural Heritage Program List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017 The following list of animals known from Washington is complete for resident and transient vertebrates and several groups of invertebrates, including odonates, branchipods, tiger beetles, butterflies, gastropods, freshwater bivalves and bumble bees. Some species from other groups are included, especially where there are conservation concerns. Among these are the Palouse giant earthworm, a few moths and some of our mayflies and grasshoppers. Currently 857 vertebrate and 1,100 invertebrate taxa are included. Conservation status, in the form of range-wide, national and state ranks are assigned to each taxon. Information on species range and distribution, number of individuals, population trends and threats is collected into a ranking form, analyzed, and used to assign ranks. Ranks are updated periodically, as new information is collected. We welcome new information for any species on our list.

Universidad de Granada. 18071, Granada, Spain; e-mail: [email protected] Research Paper Comparative Study of the Nymphal Biology of Two Coexisting Species of Mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) in a Mediterranean Stream in Southern Europe key words: mayflies, life cycle, feeding, secondary production, niche overlap Abstract We study the life history, nymphal feeding and secondary production of two leptophlebiid mayfly species (Habrophlebia eldae and Paraleptophlebia submarginata). They cohabit in a Mediterranean stream and present a very high niche overlap in terms of trophic resources. The life cycle was esti- mated using size-frequency analysis of samples taken throughout a year. Both species have a similar but displaced period of the nymphal development. Secondary production was calculated by means of the size-frequency method. Annual secondary production of P. submarginata is much higher than that of H. eldae (1.95 g DW m–2 year–1 vs. 0.17 g DW m–2 year–1), and presents a quite similar annual P/B ratio, but slightly higher in P. submarginata (6.97 in P. submarginata and 9.21 in H. eldae). The study of the gut contents revealed that they are mainly detritivores but, when larger they feed also on CPOM from leaves fallen in the stream. They present an almost total niche overlap in terms of food acquisition. However the previously mentioned shift in trophic resources utilization with size makes it possible that, because no similar size classes of each species are present at the same time, niche segregation exists between the two species. -

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICANM. D. EMEYERNTOMOLOGICAL AND S W.OCIETY P. MCCAFFERTY VOLUME 134, NUMBER 3+4: 337-430, 2008337 Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) of the Far Western United States. Part 3: California M. D. MEYER Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science, Christopher Newport University, Newport News, VA 23606 W. P. MCCAFFERTY Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 ABSTRACT The mayfly fauna of California consists of 155 species in 44 genera among 15 families. Previous data and new data (from 23 major collections) are given for all species and include first published state data for 53 of the species. In addition, 1,720 new county records involving all 58 California counties are given for 140 of the species. Less than 10 percent of the species appear endemic to California . INTRODUCTION Eaton (1884, 1885) in his landmark monograph of world mayflies (Eaton 1883-88) was the first to report any mayflies from what is now the state of Cali- fornia. These included six species now known to be Ameletus dissitus Eaton, Baetisca lacustris McDunnough, Rhithrogena hageni Eaton, Paraleptophlebia memorialis (Eaton), P. rufivenosa (Eaton), and Siphlonurus occidentalis (Eaton), with P. memorialis technically the first species reported from the state. The main contributors of first published state records of species in California during the 20th Century included Traver (1934, 1935a,b) with 27 first records, Day (1951, 1952, 1954a,b, 1955, 1956) with 19 first records, and Mayo (1939, 1951,1952a,b) with 10 first records. Twenty-eight additional authors have contributed first pub- lished records for California, and 41 now valid species were originally described from California, bringing the total of published records of valid species previous to the present work to 102. -

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). -
