Secondary Production of Paraleptophlebia (Ephemeroptera)
SECONDARY PRODUCTION OF PARALEPTOPHLEBIA (EPHEMEROPTERA) WITHIN THREE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL STREAMS by Sarah Beesley A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science In Natural Resources: Freshwater Fisheries November, 2006 ABSTRACT Secondary production of Paraleptophlebia (Ephemeroptera) within three northern California coastal streams Sarah Beesley Annual production was estimated for the mayfly genus Paraleptophlebia occupying riffle habitats of three coastal streams within the Prairie Creek watershed, California. Monthly invertebrate collections yielded 4,579 Paraleptophlebia nymphs: 1,786 from Prairie Creek, 1,738 from Boyes Creek and 1,055 from Streelow Creek. Paraleptophlebia populations in the three streams were presumed univoltine based on monthly size frequency distributions. Emergence appeared to occur from spring through fall with early instars present from late summer through spring. Models relating ln total length to ln dry mass and ln head width to ln dry mass were developed from fresh Prairie Creek Paraleptophlebia nymphs to estimate dry mass of preserved nymphs. Annual production estimates were 89.7 mg•m-2•yr-1 in Prairie Creek, 69.9 mg•m-2•yr-1 in Boyes Creek and 74.0 mg•m-2•yr-1 in Streelow Creek. Annual production to biomass ratios were 8.56 in Prairie Creek, 11.39 in Boyes Creek and 5.89 in Streelow Creek. Water temperature accumulation was monitored to assess whether differences in thermal regime existed among the three streams. Annual degree day totals were very similar among the streams with values from 3,447 in Streelow Creek, 3,473 in Prairie Creek, and 3,486 in Boyes Creek. -
Research Report110
~ ~ WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES A Survey of Rare and Endangered Mayflies of Selected RESEARCH Rivers of Wisconsin by Richard A. Lillie REPORT110 Bureau of Research, Monona December 1995 ~ Abstract The mayfly fauna of 25 rivers and streams in Wisconsin were surveyed during 1991-93 to document the temporal and spatial occurrence patterns of two state endangered mayflies, Acantha metropus pecatonica and Anepeorus simplex. Both species are candidates under review for addition to the federal List of Endang ered and Threatened Wildlife. Based on previous records of occur rence in Wisconsin, sampling was conducted during the period May-July using a combination of sampling methods, including dredges, air-lift pumps, kick-nets, and hand-picking of substrates. No specimens of Anepeorus simplex were collected. Three specimens (nymphs or larvae) of Acanthametropus pecatonica were found in the Black River, one nymph was collected from the lower Wisconsin River, and a partial exuviae was collected from the Chippewa River. Homoeoneuria ammophila was recorded from Wisconsin waters for the first time from the Black River and Sugar River. New site distribution records for the following Wiscon sin special concern species include: Macdunnoa persimplex, Metretopus borealis, Paracloeodes minutus, Parameletus chelifer, Pentagenia vittigera, Cercobrachys sp., and Pseudiron centra/is. Collection of many of the aforementioned species from large rivers appears to be dependent upon sampling sand-bottomed substrates at frequent intervals, as several species were relatively abundant during only very short time spans. Most species were associated with sand substrates in water < 2 m deep. Acantha metropus pecatonica and Anepeorus simplex should continue to be listed as endangered for state purposes and receive a biological rarity ranking of critically imperiled (S1 ranking), and both species should be considered as candidates proposed for listing as endangered or threatened as defined by the Endangered Species Act. -
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.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICANM. D. EMEYERNTOMOLOGICAL AND S W.OCIETY P. MCCAFFERTY VOLUME 134, NUMBER 3+4: 337-430, 2008337 Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) of the Far Western United States. Part 3: California M. D. MEYER Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science, Christopher Newport University, Newport News, VA 23606 W. P. MCCAFFERTY Department of Entomology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 ABSTRACT The mayfly fauna of California consists of 155 species in 44 genera among 15 families. Previous data and new data (from 23 major collections) are given for all species and include first published state data for 53 of the species. In addition, 1,720 new county records involving all 58 California counties are given for 140 of the species. Less than 10 percent of the species appear endemic to California . INTRODUCTION Eaton (1884, 1885) in his landmark monograph of world mayflies (Eaton 1883-88) was the first to report any mayflies from what is now the state of Cali- fornia. These included six species now known to be Ameletus dissitus Eaton, Baetisca lacustris McDunnough, Rhithrogena hageni Eaton, Paraleptophlebia memorialis (Eaton), P. rufivenosa (Eaton), and Siphlonurus occidentalis (Eaton), with P. memorialis technically the first species reported from the state. The main contributors of first published state records of species in California during the 20th Century included Traver (1934, 1935a,b) with 27 first records, Day (1951, 1952, 1954a,b, 1955, 1956) with 19 first records, and Mayo (1939, 1951,1952a,b) with 10 first records. Twenty-eight additional authors have contributed first pub- lished records for California, and 41 now valid species were originally described from California, bringing the total of published records of valid species previous to the present work to 102. -

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). -

A prerequisite for identification using barcodes is a reliable reference library. We gathered 4165 sequences from the barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene representing 264 nominal and 90 provisional species of mayflies (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from Canada, Mexico, and the United States. No species shared barcode sequences and all can be identified with barcodes with the possible exception of some Caenis. -
