De Jong* and Steven P. Canton GEI Consultants, Inc., 4601 DTC Boulevard, Suite 900, Denver, CO 80237 USA * Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The mayfly fauna of samples collected from all other Baetidae by its spatulate claws. In in Chiriquí Province of western Panamá are listed, northwestern Panamá, Flowers (1991, 1992) recognized including the first report of Camelobaetidius kondratieffi six morphospecies of Dactylobaetis (= Camelobaetidius), Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, 1995 from the Republic of and the only species of the genus to be reported from Panamá. This species was previously reported only from Panamá is Camelobaetidius warreni (Traver & Edmunds) Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica. (McCafferty 2011), so it is likely that additional species would be recognized and confirmed in Panamá as Key words: Ephemeroptera, Baetidae, Camelobaetidius, further collecting is conducted and taxonomy improves. Neotropical, Central America, Panamá Streams within the Río Caldera basin in western Panamá (Figure 1; Table 1) were sampled for benthic macroinvertebrates during March of 2001, 2002, and A checklist of the Central American Ephemeroptera fau- na was provided by McCafferty and Lugo-Ortiz (1996), but few country-specific checklists have been compiled (e.g., Flowers 1992 for Costa Rica and Panamá; McCaf- ferty et al. 2004 for Guatemala). Examination of existing collections and additional collecting efforts in Central America have allowed further documentation of more widespread distributions (Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty 1996; Baumgartner and McCafferty 2000; Wiersema and Baumgartner 2000; McCafferty 2011) and descriptions of new taxa (McCafferty and Randolph 2000; Wiersema and Baumgartner 2000). Flowers (1991) recognized 82 taxa of Ephemeroptera in collections from northwest- ern Panamá, but he only provided species names for ten taxa; the rest were left at genus level or as morphospe- cies (e.g., Tricorythodes A); therefore, there are currently only 21 named Ephemeroptera species known from Pan- amá (Flowers 1992; Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty 1996; McCafferty and Lugo-Ortiz 1996). This leaves the Pana- manian Ephemeroptera fauna rather poorly known in comparison to Costa Rica, Panamá’s immediate neigh- bor in Central America, which has 74 named species registered (Flowers 1992; Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty 1996; McCafferty and Lugo-Ortiz 1996; Wiersema and Baumgartner 2000). One mayfly genus,Camelobaetidius , is common Figure 1. Map of Study Sites in the Río Caldera Basin, Republic of Panamá. in Central America.

Leppo4 Tetra Tech, Inc., 400 Red Brook Blvd., Suite 200, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117-5159 USA Abstract. Taxonomic identifications are central to biological assessment; thus, documenting and reporting uncertainty associated with identifications is critical. The presumption that comparable results would be obtained, regardless of which or how many taxonomists were used to identify samples, lies at the core of any assessment. As part of a national survey of streams, 741 benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected throughout the eastern USA, subsampled in laboratories to ;500 organisms/sample, and sent to taxonomists for identification and enumeration. Primary identifications were done by 25 taxonomists in 8 laboratories. For each laboratory, ;10% of the samples were randomly selected for quality control (QC) reidentification and sent to an independent taxonomist in a separate laboratory (total n ¼ 74), and the 2 sets of results were compared directly. The results of the sample-based comparisons were summarized as % taxonomic disagreement (PTD) and % difference in enumeration (PDE). Across the set of QC samples, mean values of PTD and PDE were ;21 and 2.6%, respectively.

    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.

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).

    2013 Aquatic Surveys and Re-Assessment of Sites Within the Middle Powder River Watershed

    2013 Aquatic Surveys and Re-Assessment of Sites within the Middle Powder River Watershed Bureau of Land Management - Miles City Field Office and The Interagency BLM Aquatic Task Group Prepared by: David M. Stagliano Aquatic Ecologist April 2014 A program of the Montana State Library’s Natural Resource Information System that is operated by the University of Montana. Executive Summary This report integrates the project results of the 2011 study (Stagliano 2012) with 2012 fish surveys and 2013 intensive aquatic community sampling, and summarizes all years. Objectives in 2013 were to: 1) revisit six integrator sites established and sampled in 2005 and 2011 to assess aquatic community changes during this time period; 2) determine whether the macroinvertebrate communities have rebounded from low integrity levels reported in 2011 to 2012, as the fish community did; 3) perform targeted freshwater mussel surveys at these Powder River sites, five sites across the border into Wyoming and at six Tongue River coalbed natural gas (CBNG) monitoring sites; and 4) incorporate other agency data and interpret key community and watershed indicators (Observed vs. Expected (O/E) and Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI)) against reference condition standards to determine aquatic condition status and trends since the development of CBNG wells in the watershed. Additional fish surveys sites were added along the Powder River in Montana, as well as sites upstream into Wyoming for sturgeon chub and mussel occupancy surveys. Fish Communities: Fish surveys were performed in 2013 at each site using the same protocols during similar seasons and river flows as in 2012, 2011 and 2005.
