ANDREW California Department of Fish and Game 78-078 Country Club Drive, Suite 109 Bermuda Dunes, CA 92201 Desert mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus eremicus, occur at low densities in the Sonoran Desert of southeastern California and consequently are difficult to monitor using standard wildlife techniques. We used radiocollared deer, remote photography at wildlife water developments (i.e., catchments), and mark-recapture techniques to estimate population abundance and sex and age ratios. Abundance estimates for 1999-2004 ranged from 40 to 106 deer, resulting in density estimates of 0.05-0.13 deer/km2. Ranges in herd composition were 41-74% (females), 6-31% (males), and 6-34% (young). There was a positive correlation (R = 0.73, P = 0.051) between abundance estimates and number of deer photographed/ catchment-day, and that relationship may be useful as an index of abundance in the absence of marked deer for mark-recapture methods. Because of the variable nature of desert wildlife populations, implementing 55 56 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME strategies that recognize that variability and conserving the habitat that allow populations to fluctuate naturally will be necessary for long-term conservation.

    SMBNEP Semi-Annual Report 30 April 2019 SANTA MONICA BAY NATIONAL ESTUARY PROGRAM Semi-Annual Report 1 October 2018 – 31 March 2019 Report Date: 30 April 2019 Prepared for the United States Environmental Protection Agency Semi-Annual Report Overview and Structure This semi-annual report outlines and provides an update for each of the FY19 Work Plan tasks for the time period 1 October 2018 through 31 March 2019, the first semi-annual reporting period for FY19. Many of the FY19 tasks continue past efforts. Each table summarizes the current status and a synthesis of updates for each task. For some tasks requiring more description or discussion, an extended narrative follows the table for that task. Note that the FY19 Work Plan was still based on the 2013 Bay Restoration Plan (BRP) and not the October 2018 Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) Action Plan. The scope of this semi-annual report is broad and structured into three overarching Program Areas to match the structure of the FY19 Work Plan. The Program Area identified as Water Resources and Quality Improvement relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Water Quality; the Program Area identified as Natural Resource Protection and Habitat Restoration relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Natural Resources. There has also been focus and efforts in FY19 on implementing programs that interconnect and integrate issues across traditional boundaries such as climate change and comprehensive monitoring. These interdisciplinary issues that cover a broad range of topics are categorized into the Work Plan Program Area: Multidisciplinary and Integrative Programs. The diagram below illustrates the connection between SMBNEP’s FY19 Work Plan and BRP 2013 Priority Issues.

  • Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve Vegetation Alliance and Habitat Crosswalk
    Technical Memorandum: Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve Vegetation Alliance and Habitat Crosswalk Prepared by: Ivan Medel1, Karina Johnston1, and Amanda McCarthy2 1 The Bay Foundation 2 WRA, Inc. Submitted to: California State Coastal Conservancy California Department of Fish and Wildlife Date: February 26, 2014 This document serves as a reference for a vegetation alliance and association to habitat crosswalk at an impacted and degraded salt marsh system in Los Angeles County. Surveys were conducted at the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve (BWER) by The Bay Foundation (I. Medel and team) from May – October 2013 in accordance with methods created by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (DFW) Vegetation and Classification Mapping Program with supplemental information derived from previous monitoring surveys (2009-2013) conducted throughout the site (Johnston et al. 2011, 2012). The BWER has experienced hydrological restrictions, dumping of dredge spoils, Non-native species invasions, habitat fragmentation, and development. Habitat categories were highly variable from subtidal to high elevation upland and are classified on an individual basis based on georeferenced polygons classifying dominant vegetation community and physical characteristics such as soil and hydrology. Habitat categories represent functionally distinct ecological communities and are described in this document specifically for the BWER. When applicable, categories are crosswalked from alliance and association types in accordance with the Manual of California Vegetation (2nd Ed) and from previous site surveys (Guastafson 1981 and CDFG 2007). Additional habitat categories were identified to accurately reflect current site conditions (i.e. Non-native habitats). Habitat categories and the final crosswalk were reviewed and vetted by a technical advisory team (ICF, WRA, TBF, and DFW).

  • Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, B.C., Ed., 1998 27
    Terrestrial Mammal Species of Special Concern in California, Bolster, B.C., Ed., 1998 27 California leaf-nosed bat, Macrotus californicus Elizabeth D. Pierson & William E. Rainey Description: Macrotus californicus is one of two phyllostomid species that occur in California. It is a medium sized bat (forearm = 46-52 mm, weight = 12-22 g), with grey pelage and long (>25 mm) ears. It can be distinguished from all other long-eared bats by the presence of a distinct nose leaf, which is erect and lanceolate (Hoffmeister 1986). The only other California species with a leaf-shaped nose projection, Choeronycteris mexicana, has very short ears. Corynorhinus townsendii, the other long-eared species with which M. californicus could most readily be confused, can be distinguished by the presence of bilateral nose lumps as opposed to a single nose leaf. Antrozous pallidus has long ears and a scroll pattern around the nostrils instead of a nose leaf. M. californicus has a tail which extends beyond the edge of the tail membrane by 5-10 mm. Taxonomic Remarks: M. californicus, a member of the Family Phyllostomidae, has sometimes been considered a subspecies of Macrotus waterhousii (Anderson and Nelson 1965), but more recently, based primarily on chromosomal characters, has been treated as a separate species (Davis and Baker 1974, Greenbaum and Baker 1976, Baker 1979, Straney et al. 1979). The form now recognized as M. californicus was first described from a specimen collected at Old Fort Yuma, Imperial County (Baird 1859). There are currently two species recognized in the genus Macrotus (Koopman 1993). Only M. californicus occurs in the United States.

Joseph Wakelee-Lynch Prayer Time The Muslim house of prayer closest to LMU is the King Fahad Mosque — about 5 miles away, 20 minutes by car. Drive north on Lincoln, turn right on W. Washington until you get to the intersection with Huron Ave. You can’t miss the mosque. With a towering 72-foot-high minaret, it stands out. But the intersection could be found in any U.S. city, large or small: Across the street is a 7-Eleven, a Christian Assembly church and a gun shop. A block away are the NFL Network offices. This fall, Muslim students at LMU re- quested campus space to hold communal prayer each Friday. Their request was wel- comed by the university, and they now meet in the Marymount Institute for Faith, Cul- ture, and the Arts, in University Hall. It’s a great boon to them and several Muslim staff members, who would find it difficult to get to the mosque for prayer and back in time for class or work.
