  • Checklist of the Crayfish and Freshwater Shrimp (Decapoda) of Indiana
    2001. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 110:104-110 CHECKLIST OF THE CRAYFISH AND FRESHWATER SHRIMP (DECAPODA) OF INDIANA Thomas P. Simon: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 620 South Walker Street, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 ABSTRACT. Crayfish and freshwater shrimp are members of the order Decapoda. All crayfish in In- diana are members of the family Cambaridae, while the freshwater shrimp belong to Palaemonidae. Two genera of freshwater shrimps, each represented by a single species, occur in Indiana. Palaemonetes ka- diakensis and Macrobrachium ohione are lowland forms. Macrobrachium ohione occurs in the Ohio River drainage, while P. kadiakensis occurs statewide in wetlands and lowland areas including inland lakes. Currently, 21 crayfish taxa, including an undescribed form of Cambarus diogenes, are found in Indiana. Another two species are considered hypothetical in occurrence. Conservation status is recommended for the Ohio shrimp Macrobrachium ohione, Indiana crayfish Orconectes indianensis, and both forms of the cave crayfish Orconectes biennis inennis and O. i. testii.

  • SQUIRREL CHIMNEY CAVE SHRIMP Palaemonetes Cummingi
    SQUIRREL CHIMNEY CAVE SHRIMP Palaemonetes cummingi (Photo unavailable) FAMILY: Palaemonidae STATUS: Threatened (Federal Register, June 21, 1990) DESCRIPTION: The Squirrel Chimney Cave shrimp, also known as the Florida cave shrimp, is approximately 1.2 inches (3O millimeters) long. Its body and eyes are unpigmented; the eyes are smaller than those of related surface-dwelling species of Palaemonetes. RANGE AND POPULATION LEVEL: This cave shrimp is known only from a single sinkhole (Squirrel Chimney) in Alachua County, Florida. No more than a dozen individuals have been seen near the surface of the sinkhole water table, but more individuals may exist at greater depths. HABITAT: Squirrel Chimney is a small, deep sinkhole that leads to a flooded cave system of unknown size. The sinkhole is known to support one of the richest cave invertebrate faunas in the nation. Other cave invertebrates found in this sinkhole include McLane's cave crayfish (Troglocambarus maclanei); the light-fleeing cave crayfish (Troglocambarus lucifugus); the pallid cave crayfish (Procambarus pallidus); and Hobb's cave amphipod (Crangonyx hobbsi). These species are found in the shallower portions of a pool in the fissure leading off the sinkhole. They usually cling bottom-side-up to limestone just beneath the water table. These species are adapted for survival in a nutrient-poor, detritus-based ecosystem. REASONS FOR CURRENT STATUS: The Squirrel Chimney Cave shrimp is endemic to a single sinkhole. Any changes in the sinkhole or cave system could eliminate the species. The site is privately owned and the owners are currently protecting the site from trespassers. Urban development associated with the growth of Gainesville, Florida are expected to continue and will most likely alter land use practices in the vicinity of Squirrel Chimney Cave.

    2.2 Suwannee River 2.2.1 Surfacewater Hydrology The hydrology of the Suwannee River Basin is driven by climate, and it is modified by the topography, physiography, geology, and land cover characteristics of the drainage area. This section of the report describes rainfall/runoff relationships and spatial and temporal patterns in river flow. These patterns are the primary driving forces that shape the ecological characteristics of the river and estuary (Poff et al., 1997). 2.2.1.1 Annual Yield The annual yield of the Suwannee River is the amount of water discharged to the Gulf of Mexico. Discharge for the Suwannee is determined by river flow as measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow gaging program at the most downstream, long-term river gage (Suwannee River near Wilcox – USGS Station Number 02323500). Approximately 97 percent of the basin drainage area is upstream of this gage. Mean daily discharge at Wilcox is 10,166 cfs (Table 2-5), which is equivalent to 14.8 inches of annual runoff from the basin area (Franklin et al., 1995). Since the average annual rainfall across the basin is 53.35 inches (Section 2.2), about 28 percent of the mean annual rainfall is discharged as runoff to the Gulf of Mexico. Generally, the response of discharge lags behind rainfall by approximately four months. The remainder, about 39 inches annually, is utilized either as ET or consumptive use. This estimate corresponds well with the ET estimate of 40.8 inches presented in Section 2.1.2. Table 2-5. Discharge Statistics of the Suwannee River at Wilcox (USGS Station Number 02323500), Levy County, Florida.

In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.
