Dr. Stephen Goldberg, a frequent amphibian contributor to California Fish and Wildlife, included an interesting note on the reproduction of Cascades frog, a candidate species for listing under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Another frequent contributor, Dr. Vernon Bleich (former Editor-in-Chief of this Journal) provided two submissions—a note on Woodhouse’s toad locations suggesting that major storm events have likely facilitated expansion of the species in California as well as an obituary for Robert L. Vernoy, a long- time biologist for the Department. Dr. Travis Longcore, from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his co-authors presented a thought-provoking essay on Monarch butterflies and their use of non-native trees when overwintering in California. Next, Dr. Barbara Clu- cas, from the well-known Wildlife Department at Humboldt State University, developed, along with several of her students, a new method for monitoring raptors in agricultural areas using camera traps and artificial perches. And finally, Dr. David Boughton of the National Marine Fisheries Service at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, provided a review of the striped bass in coastal California—a non-native species introduced in California in the late 1800s for sport fishing. Our editorial team gained another excellent member recently. Mario Klip joined the Department in 2012 with the North Central Region. He obtained a PhD in Environmental Sciences Policy at the University of California, Berkeley in 2018, with a focus on black bears, and he completed his master’s in biology at Sonoma State University in 2012. Ma- rio had a very different career before joining CDFW; prior to working with wildlife and conserved lands, he worked in the IT industry, and he holds a bachelor’s in international management and marketing and master’s in in management accounting from the University of Amsterdam. He moved from the Netherlands to California for various projects and ended up in Silicon Valley and held various senior positions before drastically change careers to pursue a life-long passion focused on wildlife. He is passionate about conducting applied research to better inform wildlife and land use decisions. We also had a wonderful guest editor for the raptor manuscript in this issue. Carie Battistone received two degrees from the University of California, Davis: a bachelor’s in Wildlife Biology and a master’s in Avian Ecology. She currently serves as CDFW’s State- wide Raptor Conservation Coordinator, a position she has had for over 10 years. In this coordinator role, Carie manages CDFW’s efforts related to conservation, policy, regulation, and research for raptor species in California. A reminder that many of the Journal’s Special Issues will be coming out this year! We have explored the impacts of fire, cannabis, and human recreation on fish and wildlife resources. The recreation issue came out in April, and the others will be out later this sum- mer. Additionally, we are now accepting submissions for two new special issues—one on the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) and one on Human-Wildlife Interactions.

Many artificial raptor perches have been constructed as a solution to this deficiency, however, monitoring the benefits of these perches has proved challenging. We developed a method using artificial perches and camera traps mounted on poles that allows for 24-hour monitor- ing of perch utilization. We tested

  • California's Freshwater Fishes: Status and Management
    California’s freshwater fishes: status and management Rebecca M. Quiñones* and Peter B. Moyle Center for Watershed Sciences, University of California at Davis, One Shields Ave, Davis, 95616, USA * correspondence to [email protected] SUMMARY Fishes in Mediterranean climates are adapted to thrive in streams with dy- namic environmental conditions such as strong seasonality in flows. Howev- er, anthropogenic threats to species viability, in combination with climate change, can alter habitats beyond native species’ environmental tolerances and may result in extirpation. Although the effects of a Mediterranean cli- mate on aquatic habitats in California have resulted in a diverse fish fauna, freshwater fishes are significantly threatened by alien species invasions, the presence of dams, and water withdrawals associated with agricultural and urban use. A long history of habitat degradation and dependence of salmonid taxa on hatchery supplementation are also contributing to the decline of fish- es in the state. These threats are exacerbated by climate change, which is also reducing suitable habitats through increases in temperatures and chang- es to flow regimes. Approximately 80% of freshwater fishes are now facing extinction in the next 100 years, unless current trends are reversed by active conservation. Here, we review threats to California freshwater fishes and update a five-tiered approach to preserve aquatic biodiversity in California, with emphasis on fish species diversity. Central to the approach are man- agement actions that address conservation at different scales, from single taxon and species assemblages to Aquatic Diversity Management Areas, wa- tersheds, and bioregions. Keywords: alien fishes, climate change, conservation strategy, dams Citation: Quiñones RM, Moyle PB (2015) California’s freshwater fishes: status and man- agement.

  • Birds on San Clemente Island, As Part of Our Work Toward the Recovery of the Island’S Endangered Species
    WESTERN BIRDS Volume 36, Number 3, 2005 THE BIRDS OF SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND BRIAN L. SULLIVAN, PRBO Conservation Science, 4990 Shoreline Hwy., Stinson Beach, California 94970-9701 (current address: Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd., Ithaca, New York 14850) ERIC L. KERSHNER, Institute for Wildlife Studies, 2515 Camino del Rio South, Suite 334, San Diego, California 92108 With contributing authors JONATHAN J. DUNN, ROBB S. A. KALER, SUELLEN LYNN, NICOLE M. MUNKWITZ, and JONATHAN H. PLISSNER ABSTRACT: From 1992 to 2004, we observed birds on San Clemente Island, as part of our work toward the recovery of the island’s endangered species. We increased the island’s bird list to 317 species, by recording many additional vagrants and seabirds. The list includes 20 regular extant breeding species, 6 species extirpated as breeders, 5 nonnative introduced species, and 9 sporadic or newly colonizing breeding species. For decades San Clemente Island had been ravaged by overgrazing, especially by goats, which were removed completely in 1993. Since then, the island’s vegetation has begun recovering, and the island’s avifauna will likely change again as a result. We document here the status of that avifauna during this transitional period of re- growth, between the island’s being largely denuded of vegetation and a more natural state. It is still too early to evaluate the effects of the vegetation’s still partial recovery on birds, but the beginnings of recovery may have enabled the recent colonization of small numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows and Lazuli Buntings. Sponsored by the U. S. Navy, efforts to restore the island’s endangered species continue—among birds these are the Loggerhead Shrike and Sage Sparrow.

  • Guide to the Coastal Marine Fishes of California
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE RESOURCES AGENCY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME FISH BULLETIN 157 GUIDE TO THE COASTAL MARINE FISHES OF CALIFORNIA by DANIEL J. MILLER and ROBERT N. LEA Marine Resources Region 1972 ABSTRACT This is a comprehensive identification guide encompassing all shallow marine fishes within California waters. Geographic range limits, maximum size, depth range, a brief color description, and some meristic counts including, if available: fin ray counts, lateral line pores, lateral line scales, gill rakers, and vertebrae are given. Body proportions and shapes are used in the keys and a state- ment concerning the rarity or commonness in California is given for each species. In all, 554 species are described. Three of these have not been re- corded or confirmed as occurring in California waters but are included since they are apt to appear. The remainder have been recorded as occurring in an area between the Mexican and Oregon borders and offshore to at least 50 miles. Five of California species as yet have not been named or described, and ichthyologists studying these new forms have given information on identification to enable inclusion here. A dichotomous key to 144 families includes an outline figure of a repre- sentative for all but two families. Keys are presented for all larger families, and diagnostic features are pointed out on most of the figures. Illustrations are presented for all but eight species. Of the 554 species, 439 are found primarily in depths less than 400 ft., 48 are meso- or bathypelagic species, and 67 are deepwater bottom dwelling forms rarely taken in less than 400 ft.

    BOOK 11 The Time of the EmperorTrajan and the Third Calamityat Antioch 1. (269) After the reign of Nerva, the most sacred Trajan reigned for 19 years and six months. He was tall , withered in body, dark skinned, with delicate features, short grey hair and deep set eyes. 2. Vntil the second year of his reign St John the apostle and theologian was seen teaching in Ephesos as bishop and patriarch. Then he withdrew himself from view and was no longer seen by anyone and no one knows to the present day what happened to him, as the most learned Africanus and Eirenaios have written, During the reign of Trajan, there was a great persecution of the Christians and many were punished with death. 3. In that year (270) Heerdotes, emperor of the Persians who was of Parthian descent and the brother of Osdroes, emperor of the Armenians, began a campaign and came with a large force to make war on the Roman state. Accompanied by his son Sanatroukios, he captured cities and plundered many districts, While he was plundering the district of Euphratesia, he was thrown off his horse as he was riding. He was badly injured and died a natural death. Whenon the point of death, he made his son Sanatroukios "Arsakes", that is, emperor, in his place; for in Persian "Torkim" is the translation for emperor. Sanatroukios, emperor of the Persians, continued to ravage Roman territory. When Osdroes, emperor of the Armenians and Meerdotes' brother, heard of his brother's death, he also immediately sent his son Parthemaspates out from Armenia with a large army to help his cousin Sanatroukios, emperor of the Persians, against the Romans.
