    "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.

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.

    Feeding, Colonization and Impact of the Cinnabar Moth, Tyria Jacobaeae

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jonathan W. Diehl for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented on May 20, 1988. Title: Feeding, Colonization and Impact of the Cinnabar Moth Tyria jacobaeae, on Senecio triangularisa Novel, Native Host Plant Abstract Redacted for privacy approved: Peter B. McEvoy I conducted field and laboratory studies to determine the impact of the cinnabar moth, Tvria jacobaeae L., on the native perennial herb, Senecio triangularis Hook. The cinnabar moth was introduced into Oregon in 1960 to control the noxious weed Senecio iacobaea L. and is now well established on both the native plant and the weed in Oregon. My objectives were to determine the suitability of S. triangularis as a diet for the cinnabar moth, to estimate the frequency with which the moths colonize the native plant in the field, and to estimate the impact of larval feeding on the plant's survivorship and reproduction. Larvae successfully completed development on S. triangularis, but development time was longer, growth was slower, and pupae were lighter compared to performance on S. iacobaea. Cinnabar moth colonization and feeding damage were concentrated at one of the four study sites observed. Cinnabar moth defoliation results in a 3.9% reduction in seed viability and is inversely related to damage to seeds by native insects. I conclude that cinnabar moths commonly discover this native plant in the field, can establish and develop on it, and cause a small reduction in plant reproductive success.
