A Stonefly Bolshecapnia milami Insecta — Plecoptera — Capniidae CONSERVATION STATUS / CLASSIFICATION Rangewide: Vulnerable (G3) Statewide: Critically imperiled (S1) ESA: No status USFS: Region 1: No status; Region 4: No status BLM: No status IDFG: Not classified BASIS FOR INCLUSION Lack of essential information pertaining to status; 1 known location in Idaho and no population trend data. TAXONOMY The taxon was described in 1967 as Capnia milami and later (Baumann et al. 1977) transferred to the genus Bolshecapnia. DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE This species occurs at scattered localities in Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Alberta, and British Columbia. In Idaho, a population has been found in a single locality in Blaine County (Baumann et al. 1977; Newell and Minshall 1976; Newell and Minshall 1979a). POPULATION TREND No data are available to suggest population trend. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY The adults of B. milami have only been collected in March (Baumann et al. 1977; Newell and Minshall 1979a). No data have been documented describing habitat needs. ISSUES Specific threats to Idaho populations have not been identified. In general, stonefly populations are affected by changes to aquatic habitat, such as alteration of flow patterns, streambed substrate, thermal characteristics, and water quality. Alteration and degradation of aquatic habitat is the primary concern for Idaho populations. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS The distribution and habitat needs are not understood for this species; surveys are needed to acquire information describing current status and conservation needs.

ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES and PASSERINE DIET: EFFECTS of SHRUB EXPANSION in WESTERN ALASKA by Molly Tankersley Mcdermott, B.A./B.S
Arthropod communities and passerine diet: effects of shrub expansion in Western Alaska Item Type Thesis Authors McDermott, Molly Tankersley Download date 26/09/2021 06:13:39 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/7893 ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES AND PASSERINE DIET: EFFECTS OF SHRUB EXPANSION IN WESTERN ALASKA By Molly Tankersley McDermott, B.A./B.S. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

2010 Animal Species of Concern
MONTANA NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM Animal Species of Concern Species List Last Updated 08/05/2010 219 Species of Concern 86 Potential Species of Concern All Records (no filtering) A program of the University of Montana and Natural Resource Information Systems, Montana State Library Introduction The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) serves as the state's information source for animals, plants, and plant communities with a focus on species and communities that are rare, threatened, and/or have declining trends and as a result are at risk or potentially at risk of extirpation in Montana. This report on Montana Animal Species of Concern is produced jointly by the Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP). Montana Animal Species of Concern are native Montana animals that are considered to be "at risk" due to declining population trends, threats to their habitats, and/or restricted distribution. Also included in this report are Potential Animal Species of Concern -- animals for which current, often limited, information suggests potential vulnerability or for which additional data are needed before an accurate status assessment can be made. Over the last 200 years, 5 species with historic breeding ranges in Montana have been extirpated from the state; Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus cupido), Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), Pilose Crayfish (Pacifastacus gambelii), and Rocky Mountain Locust (Melanoplus spretus). Designation as a Montana Animal Species of Concern or Potential Animal Species of Concern is not a statutory or regulatory classification. Instead, these designations provide a basis for resource managers and decision-makers to make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities in order to avoid additional extirpations.

Plecoptera: Capniidae), and Recognition of Two New Nearctic Capniid Genera

Stark1 & Richard W. Baumann2 1 Department of Biology, Box 4045, Mississippi College, Clinton, Mississippi 39058, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Biology, Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, 84602, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Male epiprocts of five of the six species currently placed in the genus Bolshecapnia Ricker, 1965 were examined with scanning electron microscopy. In addition to the plesiomorphic characters historically used to define the genus (e.g. ventral male vesicle), these species share at least one potentially apomorphic character of the epiproct, a long median groove with a pair of low parallel ridges that extend for most of the epiproct length, but additional epiproct apomorphies emphasize fundamental differences within the group. No new species are proposed, but we recognize two new genera, Eurekapnia gen. n., based on Capnia maculata Jewett, 1954, and Sasquacapnia gen. n., based on Capnia (Bolshecapnia) sasquatchi Ricker, 1965. A modified, partial key is presented to accommodate adults of the new genera, and revised keys are presented for adults of the species of Bolshecapnia and Sasquacapnia.

RESEARCH/REVIEW ARTICLE Wing and body size polymorphism in populations of the stonefly Arcynopteryx dichroa McL. (Plecoptera: Perlodidae) in the Ural Mountains, Russia Olga A. Loskutova1 & Lidia A. Zhiltzova2 1 Institute of Biology, Komi Scientiﬁc Center, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kommunisticheskaya 28, Syktyvkar 167982, Russia 2 Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaja naberezˇnaja 1, St. Petersburg 199034, Russia Keywords Abstract Wing length; short-winged population; Urals; mountain lakes; latitude; isolation. Specimens from five Arcynopteryx dichroa (McL.) populations were examined to study wing length and body size at different latitudes and altitudes. In Correspondence northern Europe, female A. dichroa are usually long winged, while males are Olga A. Loskutova, Institute of Biology, Komi short winged. During the past 20 years, only two short-winged populations Scientiﬁc Center, Ural Branch of the Russian have been found, in a nameless lake, herein called Lake Ozernoe, and in Academy of Sciences, Kommunisticheskaya Bolshaya Lagorta Lake, in Russia’s Ural Mountains. In the isolated population 28, RU-167982 Syktyvkar, Russia. of Ozernoe Lake (850 m a.s.l.), both sexes were micropterous. In Bolshaya E-mail: [email protected] Lagorta Lake (380 m a.s.l.), females were brachypterous. However, at a higher altitude (560 and 760 m a.s.l.), a population was found with macropterous females. Specimens of both short-winged populations had smaller body length than long-winged populations. Our findings give limited support to the idea that stonefly wings are reduced with altitude and latitude and more support to the supposition that small wing size is associated with population isolation resulting from lengthy geological isolation.
