West Eugene Wetlands Draft Resource Management Plan/Draft Eugene District BLM Draft Environmental Impact Statement West Eugene Wetlands Resource Management Plan Eugene District Bureau of Land Management October 2012 As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering economic use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration.

Box 10226 Eugene, OR 97440-2226 (541) 683-6600 ABSTRACT The Bureau of Land Management, in cooperation with the City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, proposes to adopt a resource management plan for the BLM-administered lands in the West Eugene Wetlands. This Draft Environmental Impact Statement analyzes in detail the No Action alternative and six action alternatives designed to represent different overall management approaches to achieve the purpose and need for action. The alternatives analyzed would have different effects on contributing to the recovery of threatened and endangered species and different costs of implementation. The BLM preferred alternative is Alternative 2A.

    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 100 (Part 1-2) : 55-97, 2002 A CHECK LIST OF GERROMORPHA (HEMIPTERA) FROM INDIA G. THIRUMALAI Zoological Survey of India, Southern Regional Station, Chennai 600 028. INTRODUCflON The Infraorder Gerromorpha comprises of semi-aquatic bugs characterised by long conspicuous antennae, longer than head and inserted in front of eyes. They are distributed in all kinds of climatic zones, except the coldest and driest parts. This infraorder contains 8 families namely, Gerridae, Veliidae, Hydrometridae, Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, Macroveliidae, Paraphrynoveliidae and Hennatobatidae (Andersen, 1982a). Knowledge of Indian semi-aquatic Hemiptera is limited to the taxonomic preliminaries, recording species from different parts of the country.

  • A Comparison of the External Morphology and Functions of Labial Tip Sensilla in Semiaquatic Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha)
    Eur. J. Entomol. 111(2): 275–297, 2014 doi: 10.14411/eje.2014.033 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) A comparison of the external morphology and functions of labial tip sensilla in semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) 1 2 JOLANTA BROŻeK and HERBERT ZeTTeL 1 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Biology and environmental Protection, University of Silesia, Bankowa 9, PL 40-007 Katowice, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Natural History Museum, entomological Department, Burgring 7, 1010 Vienna, Austria; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Heteroptera, Gerromorpha, labial tip sensilla, pattern, morphology, function, apomorphic characters Abstract. The present study provides new data on the morphology and distribution of the labial tip sensilla of 41 species of 20 gerro- morphan (sub)families (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) obtained using a scanning electron microscope. There are eleven morphologically distinct types of sensilla on the tip of the labium: four types of basiconic uniporous sensilla, two types of plate sensilla, one type of peg uniporous sensilla, peg-in-pit sensilla, dome-shaped sensilla, placoid multiporous sensilla and elongated placoid multiporous sub- apical sensilla. Based on their external structure, it is likely that these sensilla are thermo-hygrosensitive, chemosensitive and mechano- chemosensitive. There are three different designs of sensilla in the Gerromorpha: the basic design occurs in Mesoveliidae and Hebridae; the intermediate one is typical of Hydrometridae and Hermatobatidae, and the most specialized design in Macroveliidae, Veliidae and Gerridae. No new synapomorphies for Gerromorpha were identified in terms of the labial tip sensilla, multi-peg structures and shape of the labial tip, but eleven new diagnostic characters are recorded for clades currently recognized in this infraorder.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES FOURTH SERIES Vol. XXXVI, No. 7, pp. 147-219; 56 figs. September 30, 1968 MIRIDAE OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS (HETEROPTERA) By Jose C. M. Carvalho1 Museo Nacional, Rio de Janeiro and W. C. Gagne University of California, Berkeley INTRODUCTION This paper is based on collections of leaf bugs assembled in 1964 by the ex- pedition of the University of California-Galapagos International Scientific Project. The types are deposited in the collections of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco. Some paratypes are retained in the collections of R. L. Usinger and WV. C. Gagne, both of the University of California, Berkeley, and of J. C. M. Carvalho. The original manuscript was prepared by J. C. M. Carvalho on the basis of material sent in 1965. After the manuscript and the specimens were returned from Rio de Janeiro, additional specimens were discovered in the unmounted material from the same expedition, in the California Academy of Sciences. Amongst this material were nine additional new species, the previously unknown females of three species described by Carvalho, and additional distribution records of almost every other species. All of these have been incorporated into the manuscript by Gagne and are so indicated or noted as "Additional specimens." The new material is the sole responsibility of Gagne, though it was added with the consent of Carvalho. Gagne also had the opportunity to examine the Barber types formerly the property of the New York Zoological Society and now con- Fellow of the Brazilian National Research Council.

This is even more that trigger migration, the adaptive advantages gained by the surprising when you consider that dragonfly migration occurs on subset of odonate species that migrate, reproductive activity of every continent except Antarctica. When people think of insect migration, the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a familiar figure, but the Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens), a widely distributed species also known as a regular mi- grant in North America, can travel 11,000 miles (17,700 km) across the Indian Ocean from Africa to India and back—more than twice the distance of the Monarch’s well-known annual journey. Only about 16 of our 326 dragonfly species in North America are regular migrants, with some making annual seasonal flights while others are more sporadic. The major migratory species in North America are Common Green Darner (Anax junius), Wandering Glider (Pantala flave- scens), Spot-winged Glider (P. hymenaea), Black Saddlebags (Tramea lacerata), and Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum). Different species tend to dominate migration flights in different parts of the continent. Anax junius is our best-known migrant, moving in Common Green Darner (Anax junius) at North Bend, Coos County, Oregon.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).
