  • List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017
    Washington Natural Heritage Program List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017 The following list of animals known from Washington is complete for resident and transient vertebrates and several groups of invertebrates, including odonates, branchipods, tiger beetles, butterflies, gastropods, freshwater bivalves and bumble bees. Some species from other groups are included, especially where there are conservation concerns. Among these are the Palouse giant earthworm, a few moths and some of our mayflies and grasshoppers. Currently 857 vertebrate and 1,100 invertebrate taxa are included. Conservation status, in the form of range-wide, national and state ranks are assigned to each taxon. Information on species range and distribution, number of individuals, population trends and threats is collected into a ranking form, analyzed, and used to assign ranks. Ranks are updated periodically, as new information is collected. We welcome new information for any species on our list.

  • From the Chagrin River Basin, Northeastern Ohio1
    OhioJ. Sci. A II IN HEMORRHAGIC HYPOTENSION 181 Copyright© 1982 Ohio Acad. Sci. 0030-0950/82/0004-0181 $2.00/0 LIFE-HISTORY NOTES AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CRAYFISHES (DECAPODA:CAMBARIDAE) FROM THE CHAGRIN RIVER BASIN, NORTHEASTERN OHIO1 RAYMOND F. JEZERINAC, The Ohio State University, Newark, OH 43055 ABSTRACT. Stream crayfishes were collected from the Chagrin River watershed during 1963-65 to determine their distributional patterns and to gather life-history information. Orconectes rusticus (Girard 1852), probably introduced into the basin in the early 1930s, was the dominant pool-dwelling species in the Chagrin River and Aurora Branch. Orconectespropinquus (Girard 1852), was restricted to the head-water portions of the main stream, the East, the Aurora Branches, and their tributaries; amplexus of this species was observed in September and March. Orconectes sanbornii sanbornii (Faxon 1884), was caught at one locality; this is the first record of its presence in the watershed. Orconectes virilis (Hagen 1870), inhabited pools of the middle and upper portions of the East Branch and its tributaries; its presence in the basin may be a remnant of a more expansive distribution. Orconectes immunis (Hagen 1870), probably a prairie relict, was captured at 2 disjunct localities in the watershed and at 3 other sites in northeastern Ohio. These are the first records of this species in these areas. Cambarus (Puncticambarus) robustus (Girard 1852), was widely distributed and abundant in the pools and riffles of the smaller tributaries and in riffles of the larger streams. An undescribed species, related to Cambarus {Cambarus) bartonii (Fabricius 1798), was captured at 8 localities.

  • 'Placoderm' (Arthrodira)
    Jobbins et al. Swiss J Palaeontol (2021) 140:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13358-020-00212-w Swiss Journal of Palaeontology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A large Middle Devonian eubrachythoracid ‘placoderm’ (Arthrodira) jaw from northern Gondwana Melina Jobbins1* , Martin Rücklin2, Thodoris Argyriou3 and Christian Klug1 Abstract For the understanding of the evolution of jawed vertebrates and jaws and teeth, ‘placoderms’ are crucial as they exhibit an impressive morphological disparity associated with the early stages of this process. The Devonian of Morocco is famous for its rich occurrences of arthrodire ‘placoderms’. While Late Devonian strata are rich in arthrodire remains, they are less common in older strata. Here, we describe a large tooth-bearing jaw element of Leptodontich- thys ziregensis gen. et sp. nov., an eubrachythoracid arthrodire from the Middle Devonian of Morocco. This species is based on a large posterior superognathal with a strong dentition. The jawbone displays features considered syna- pomorphies of Late Devonian eubrachythoracid arthrodires, with one posterior and one lateral row of conical teeth oriented postero-lingually. μCT-images reveal internal structures including pulp cavities and dentinous tissues. The posterior orientation of the teeth and the traces of a putative occlusal contact on the lingual side of the bone imply that these teeth were hardly used for feeding. Similar to Compagopiscis and Plourdosteus, functional teeth were pos- sibly present during an earlier developmental stage and have been worn entirely. The morphological features of the jaw element suggest a close relationship with plourdosteids. Its size implies that the animal was rather large. Keywords: Arthrodira, Dentition, Food web, Givetian, Maïder basin, Palaeoecology Introduction important to reconstruct character evolution in early ‘Placoderms’ are considered as a paraphyletic grade vertebrates.

Comments on the Late Devonian placoderms from the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland).- Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 4,3,4I34f6. Taxonomy of the Late Devonian placoderm remains from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, described by Gorizdro-Kulczycka (L934,1950) and Kulczycki (1956, 1957),is revised. Several recently found specimens are also mentioned. The old collections are composed of representatives of Ptyctodontidae, Holonematidae, Plourdosteidae, Pholi- dosteidae, Selenosteidae, Titanichthyidae and Dinichthyidae, the latter with an unde- scribed species of Eastmanosteus. Newly found specimens belong to Ptyctodontidae, Plourdosteidae and Dinichthyidae. The occurrence of the Antiarcha in the Late Devonian of the Holy Cross Mountains, suggestedby former authors, has not been confirmed.

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract BROWN, DANIEL A., M.S., August 2007, Biological Sciences EFFECTS OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON LEAF CONSUMPTION AND FINE PARTICULATE ORGANIC MATTER PRODUCTION BY THE CRAYFISH, ORCONECTES SANBORNII (68 pp.) Director of Thesis: Kelly S. Johnson Crayfish feed on a wide range of plant and animal materials and are one of the dominant macroinvertebrates found in streams of the eastern United States. By consuming large amounts of leaf litter from riparian vegetation, crayfish are an important component of stream ecosystem dynamics. During the feeding process, leaves are shredded into coarse (CPOM) and fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) and become a basal food resource for many other stream-dwelling organisms. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a significant ecological issue in southeastern Ohio and other areas where extensive mining for coal has occurred. The focus of this research was to determine the effects AMD has on the feeding rates of the crayfish, Orconectes sanbornii.
