  • Philipstown Habitat Summary 2021
    Natural Areas and Wildlife in Your Community A Habitat Summary Prepared for the Town of Philipstown January 2021 This summary was completed to provide information for land-use planning and decision-making as requested by the Town of Philipstown. It identifies significant ecosystems in the town, including streams, forests, wetlands, and other natural areas with important biological values. This summary is based only on existing information available to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and its partners, and, therefore should not be considered a complete inventory. Additional information about habitats in our region can be found in the Wildlife and Habitat Conservation Framework developed by the Hudson River Estuary Program (Penhollow et al. 2006) and in the Biodiversity Assessment Manual for the Hudson River Estuary Corridor developed by Hudsonia and published by NYSDEC (Kiviat and Stevens 2001). Ecosystems of the estuary watershed—wetlands, forests, stream corridors, grasslands, and shrublands— are not only habitat for abundant fish and wildlife, but also support the estuary and provide many vital benefits to human communities. These ecosystems help to keep drinking water and air clean, moderate temperature, filter pollutants, and absorb floodwaters. They also provide opportunity for outdoor recreation and education, and create the scenery and sense of place that is unique to the Hudson Valley. Local land-use planning efforts are instrumental in balancing future development with protection of these resources. By conserving sufficient habitat to support the region’s astonishing diversity of plants and animals, communities can ensure that healthy, resilient ecosystems—and the benefits they provide—are available to future generations.

  • Description of a Multilevel Cryptic New Species of Phyciodes (Nymphalidae: Melitaeinae) from the Southern Appalachian Mountains
    Volume 4 25 September 2004 Number 8 The Taxonomic Report OF THE INTERNATIONAL LEPIDOPTERA SURVEY DESCRIPTION OF A MULTILEVEL CRYPTIC NEW SPECIES OF PHYCIODES (NYMPHALIDAE: MELITAEINAE) FROM THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. RONALD R. GATRELLE1 126 Wells Road, Goose Creek, South Carolina 29445-3413 ABSTRACT. Phyciodes incognitus is described as a new species from the medium to high elevation hardwood forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains, type locality: Duncan Ridge Road, 3700 ft., Union County, Georgia. P. incognitus is verified from four colonies in Union County, Georgia and Clay and Macon counties, North Carolina. It is projected to range, in suitable habitat, as far north as montane Pennsylvania (indicated by photos). P. incognitus possesses a unique set of character traits that are virtually identical to both Phyciodes tharos and Phyciodes cocyta but at differing character positions – biology, morphology, genitalia, mtDNA, phenology. P. incognitus is multi-brooded and sympatric with P. tharos and P. batesii maconensis. P. incognitus can usually be easily distinguished in the field from sympatric tharos – especially males. Where incognitus ranges north into the range of P. cocyta, it will be difficult to distinguish their females, and many males, except by mtDNA or phenology. A lectotype of marcia Edwards, 1868 is designated from Kanawha River, Kanawha County, WV. P. marcia is a synonym of P. cocyta. The currently known mtDNA data for the tharos-group of taxa is determined to have limited, but specific, usefulness as a taxonomic tool in this group. It is concluded that sibling biological species are present with similar mtDNA. Thus, mtDNA is only useful in this group to determine speciation where taxa have significantly different mtDNA.

  • Recommended Native Pollinator-Friendly Plant List (Updated April 2021)
    RECOMMENDED NATIVE POLLINATOR-FRIENDLY PLANT LIST (UPDATED APRIL 2021) Asheville GreenWorks is excited to share this updated native pollinator-friendly plant list for Asheville’s Bee City USA program! As the launchpad of the national Bee City USA program in 2012, we are gratified that throughout our community, individuals, organizations, and businesses are doing their part to reverse staggering global pollinator declines. Please check out our Pollinator Habitat Certification program at https://www.ashevillegreenworks.org/pollinator-garden-certification.html and our annual Pollination Celebration! during National Pollinator Week in June at https://www.ashevillegreenworks.org/pollination-celebration.html. WHY LANDSCAPE WITH POLLINATORS IN MIND? Asheville GreenWorks’ Bee City USA program encourages everyone to incorporate as many native plants into their landscapes and avoid insect-killing pesticides as much as possible. Here’s why. Over the millennia, hundreds of thousands of plant and animal pollinator species have perfected their pollination dances. Pollinating animals rely upon the carbohydrate-rich nectar and/or the protein-rich pollen supplied by flowers, and plants rely on pollinators to carry their pollen to other flowers to produce seeds and sustain their species. Nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plant species depend on pollinators to help them reproduce! Plants and pollinators form the foundation for our planet’s rich biodiversity generally. For example, 96% of terrestrial birds feed their young exclusively moth and butterfly caterpillars. ABOUT THIS NATIVE PLANT LIST An elite task force, listed at the end of this document, verified which plants were native to Western North Carolina and agreed this list should focus on plants’ value to pollinators as food--including nectar, pollen, and larval host plants for moth and butterfly caterpillars, as well as nesting habitat for bumble and other bees.
