The close relationship among the three taxa was rec- ognized by Maguire (1942, 1943) who treated them all as subspecies of A. louiseana: subsp. louiseana, subsp.frigida (Iljin) Maguire, and subsp. griscomii (Fernald) Maguire. Recently Downie and Denford (1986a, 1986b) presented convincing morphological, cytological, biochemical and distributional evi- dence to maintain three taxa but to recognize the eastern Canadian and Beringian taxa as constituting an additional species. Consequently, Downie (in Downie and Denford, 1986a), resurrected the name A. frigida Meyer ex Iljin, which had been previously applied to the Beringian taxon, and proposed the new combination A. frigida subsp. griscomii (Fernald) S. R. Downie for the eastern Canadian taxon. However, this new combination is incorrect since Arnica griscomii Fernald (1924) has priority over A. frigida Iljin (1926). The eastern Canadian taxon, which must be treated as A. griscomii subsp. griscomii is considered rare in Quebec (Bouchard et al., 1983) and it will also be included in the forthcoming treatment of the rare plants of Newfoundland. It is therefore necessary to correct this error and provide a new combination for the Beringian taxon: Arnica griscomii Fernald subsp. frigida (Iljin) S. J. Wolf, comb. nov.

Greuter2 (Convened under the auspices of the International Union of Biological Sciences and International Association for Plant Taxonomy) Venue 1. CAB International Mycological Institute, Kew, U.K., on 22-23 April 1988. Background 1. Recognizing the continuing disquiet over the instability of names of all plant groups among biologists of diverse disciplines and the need to reduce nomenclatural changes, and following discus- sions and resolutions passed at the International Congress on Systematic and Evolutionary Biology in Brighton in 1985, and the International Union of Biological Sciences General Assembly in Budapest later that year (see Biology International 12: 12-15, 1985), a Committee for the registration of Plant Names was established by the General Committee for Plant Nomenclature in January 1986 on the recommendation of IUBS. I CAB International Mycological Institute, Ferry Lane, Kew, Surrey TW9 3AF, U.K. 2 Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem, K6nigin-Luise-Strasse 6-8, D-1000 Berlin 33, Federal Republic of Germany. FEBRUARY1989 143 2. The Committee met at Kew in May 1986 and made proposals on the registration of plant names (see Greuter, Taxon 35: 816-819, 1986) to the International Botanical Congress in Berlin in July 1987. These proposals were referred to a new Special Committee on Registration (with two subcommittees) charged with reporting to the next IBC to be held in Tokyo in 1993. 3. In order to investigate the matter further, not only with regard to newly published names but to names in current use, and following constructive discussions held during the XIV International Bo- tanical Congress and the Third International Taxonomic Databases Working Group for Plant Sciences meeting in Edinburgh in October 1987 (Bisby, Sutton and Russell, Huntia, in press, 1988), IUBS agreed to sponsor a meeting of a second ad hoc group including representatives of key organizations and personnel involved in indexing plant names at Kew on 22-23 April 1988. 4. The outline programme and objectives for the ad hoc meeting were discussed in connection with the Editorial Committee meeting of the IAPT held in Berlin on 2-9 January 1988 by W. G. Chaloner, W. Greuter, D. L. Hawksworth, J. McNeill, D. H. Nicolson, and P. C. Silva. Objectives 1. Determination of the most feasible options for the development of an improved system to achieve greater stability in the naming of all groups covered by the International Code of Botanical Nomen- clature (i.e., algae, pteridophytes, flowering plants, fungi, bryophytes, and plant fossils). 2. Clarification of the magnitude of the task at different ranks, and in different groups. 3. Preparation of outline proposals for how the production of lists of names in current use at (a) the generic and (b) the species level might be accomplished. 4. Development of an Action Plan for the period 1988-1993. 5. Preparation of a statement on the need for and advantages of the system it is decided to rec- ommend for (a) consideration by the IUBS General Assembly in October 1988 and (b) a separate general statement for inclusion in as many widely distributed biological journals as possible. 6. Consideration of the implications of the group's work for that of the Special Committee on Registration. Participants F. A.

The lists shall contain all names required under differing classifications in current use.

Species List F.1 Lists The following list and three tables denote the bird, mammal, fish, and plant species known to occur in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Arctic Refuge, Refuge). F.1.1 Birds of Arctic Refuge A total of 201 bird species have been recorded on Arctic Refuge. This list describes their status and abundance. Many birds migrate outside of the Refuge in the winter, so unless otherwise noted, the information is for spring, summer, or fall. Bird names and taxonomic classification follow American Ornithologists' Union (1998). F.1.1.1 Definitions of classifications used Regions of the Refuge . Coastal Plain – The area between the coast and the Brooks Range. This area is sometimes split into coastal areas (lagoons, barrier islands, and Beaufort Sea) and inland areas (uplands near the foothills of the Brooks Range). Brooks Range – The mountains, valleys, and foothills north and south of the Continental Divide. South Side – The foothills, taiga, and boreal forest south of the Brooks Range. Status . Permanent Resident – Present throughout the year and breeds in the area. Summer Resident – Only present from May to September. Migrant – Travels through on the way to wintering or breeding areas. Breeder – Documented as a breeding species. Visitor – Present as a non-breeding species. * – Not documented. Abundance . Abundant – Very numerous in suitable habitats. Common – Very likely to be seen or heard in suitable habitats. Fairly Common – Numerous but not always present in suitable habitats. Uncommon – Occurs regularly but not always observed because of lower abundance or secretive behaviors.

  • Response Statement - Griscom’S Arnica
    Response Statement - Griscom’s Arnica December XX, 2015 Common Name: Griscom’s Arnica Scientific Name: Arnica griscomii ssp. griscomii Status assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC): Threatened How the Minister of the Environment intends to respond to the assessment: The Minister of the Environment will forward the COSEWIC assessment of the Griscom’s Arnica to the Governor in Council as soon as possible following completion of the normal consultation period and analysis as appropriate. During the normal consultation period, the Minister of Environment will consult with the governments of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, Aboriginal peoples, stakeholders, and the public on whether or not the Griscom’s Arnica should be added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk (Schedule 1) under the Species at Risk Act as Threatened. Once a species has been assessed by COSEWIC, further steps must be undertaken before it is added to Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. For more information on this process, please view The Species Listing Process Under SARA. Reason(s) for status designation provided by COSEWIC: This mat-forming plant is a Canadian Gulf of St. Lawrence endemic found only on small, isolated calcareous cliffs and limestone barrens of Quebec and the Island of Newfoundland, is increasingly under threat due to habitat shift in response to a changing climate. The instability of some sites increases the threat of a stochastic event that could result in the loss of some small subpopulations. ATV
