Nonetheless, site-specific effects of highway projects must still be evaluated to identify appropriate mitigation strategies to protect wildlife. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has been opportunistically monitoring wildlife use of the State Route 160 (hereafter, SR160) corridor near Mountain Springs in Clark County, Nevada, for over 30 years. Incomplete roadkill information for desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus), as well as GPS collar data from desert bighorn sheep (n=2), suggest SR160, in its current state, is a formidable barrier to movement of those 3 species occurring in the Mountain Springs area of southern Nevada (see attachment). These populations provide a valuable resource to wildlife enthusiasts in the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding areas. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) plans to widen and straighten SR160 in response to traffic congestion and public safety issues occurring along the highway corridor (FHWA-NV-EA 13.01).

It has now been more than 44 years since Thomas C. Emmel and John F. Emmel’s The Butterflies of Southern California was published on November 30, 1973. The Emmels’ provided a history of previous leaders in gathering information on the fauna of southern California butterflies, information on life zones and butterfly habitats and season progression. They also listed areas little visited that needed more field study. They covered 167 species and an additional 64 subspecies or segregates (many of those have since been elevated to species status or removed as segregates for not being all that distinct since 1973) known from southern California based on the boundaries they set and provided a list of rarely recorded or doubtful records, ten color plates, and literature cited.
