General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 Species at Risk Original Online Report: 2005; Archived: Mar 31, 2011 PDF Version Created: Feb 25, 2013 ESRD/The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 Preface General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 Alberta has long enjoyed the legacy of abundant wild species. These same species are important environmental indicators. Their populations reflect the health and diversity of the environment. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development has designated the promotion of fish and wildlife conservation as one of its core business goals. The status of wild species is one of the performance measures against which the department determines the effectiveness of its policies and service delivery. Central to achieving this goal is the accurate determination of the general status of wild species in the province. This exercise, which is conducted every five years, assists the provincial government in determining the need for, and direction of, sound management and habitat conservation programs. In 1996 and 2000, the provincial government published reports on the general status of wild species in Alberta. The 2005 general status assessments are now available through this online searchable database. The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 uses a system for evaluating the general status of all wild species in Alberta—one that is identical to that used in the General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2000. It is also identical to that used by other provinces and territories throughout Canada. General status determination is the first step in a continuing process of evaluating and reporting on the biological status of Alberta’s wild species. Those species that “May Be At Risk” receive a detailed status assessment and will go on to receive much more detailed evaluation. The general status exercise, and the resulting species status listing, is designed to achieve four objectives: 1. To provide information on, and raise awareness of, the current status of wild species in Alberta 2. To stimulate broad public input in more clearly defining the status of individual species 3. To produce a list of candidate species for more detailed status evaluations 4. To provide a reference for provincial government agencies in the development of wild species conservation and management programs The 2005 edition of the General Status of Alberta Wild Species represents a substantial improvement in the knowledge base of wild species in Alberta. Status assessments were prepared for 2,814 species of birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, freshwater fish, gastropods, bivalves, odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), butterflies, and vascular plants in the province. Alberta, along with all other provinces and territories, agreed to assist Environment Canada in preparing national general status ranks for species in several of these groups (see Background of the Present General Status Evaluation Exercise). These groups include the birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fish, butterflies, odonates, freshwater mussels, and vascular plants. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development will continue to evaluate the status of wild species on an ongoing basis. In the future, the general status of other species groups will be included. The status evaluation process may be refined and improved, but it will continue to be compatible with Original Online Report: 2005 Species at Risk – General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 Page 2 of 97 PDF version created: Feb 25, 2013 © 2013 Government of Alberta ESRD/The General Status of Alberta Wild Species 2005 that used by other provinces and territories. If all jurisdictions continue to use the same method of evaluation, it will be possible to compare status ranks among provinces and territories, and between years, to gain a national perspective of how well any particular species is doing. Thank you for your interest in Alberta’s wild species.

Using methods that were standardized in 2000, the 2005 status evaluations were carried out on 2,811 species from 10 taxonomic groups, including birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, freshwater fish, gastropods, bivalves, odonates, butterflies, and vascular plants. Draft status scores were compiled by the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Division, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, in Edmonton; data and expertise for status scores for vascular plants were provided to Alberta Fish and Wildlife by the Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre, Parks and Protected Areas, Alberta Community Development, also in Edmonton. For the purposes of this assessment, draft documents were sent to professional biologists from academia, government, and industry, along with wild species experts from the natural history community. The comments and suggestions made by these individuals were compiled and discussed. The final scores and rankings, however, remain the sole responsibility of the Fish and Wildlife Division, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December-2019 i Abstract Edaphic specialization in plants is associated with the development of novel adaptations that frequently lead to speciation, causing unique edaphic environments to be associated with rare and endemic plant species worldwide. These species contribute significantly to global biodiversity, but are especially vulnerable to disturbance and climate change because of their inherently patchy distributions and locally adapted populations. Successful conservation of these species depends upon understanding their habitat requirements and the amounts and distributions of genetic and phenotypic diversity among populations. Little is known about the habitat requirements or

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

  • The Radiation of Satyrini Butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): A
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 161, 64–87. With 8 figures The radiation of Satyrini butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae): a challenge for phylogenetic methods CARLOS PEÑA1,2*, SÖREN NYLIN1 and NIKLAS WAHLBERG1,3 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Av. Arenales 1256, Apartado 14-0434, Lima-14, Peru 3Laboratory of Genetics, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Received 24 February 2009; accepted for publication 1 September 2009 We have inferred the most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis to date of butterflies in the tribe Satyrini. In order to obtain a hypothesis of relationships, we used maximum parsimony and model-based methods with 4435 bp of DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear genes for 179 taxa (130 genera and eight out-groups). We estimated dates of origin and diversification for major clades, and performed a biogeographic analysis using a dispersal–vicariance framework, in order to infer a scenario of the biogeographical history of the group. We found long-branch taxa that affected the accuracy of all three methods. Moreover, different methods produced incongruent phylogenies. We found that Satyrini appeared around 42 Mya in either the Neotropical or the Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, and/or Indo-Australian regions, and underwent a quick radiation between 32 and 24 Mya, during which time most of its component subtribes originated. Several factors might have been important for the diversification of Satyrini: the ability to feed on grasses; early habitat shift into open, non-forest habitats; and geographic bridges, which permitted dispersal over marine barriers, enabling the geographic expansions of ancestors to new environ- ments that provided opportunities for geographic differentiation, and diversification.
