Mathias, Jr. ABSTRACT More than 27 mineral species have been identified in Cenozoic sediments of varying lithology within the Safford Valley of Arizona. The mineral assemblages suggest the following possible sources for the basin-filling detritus: (1) acid igneous rocks, (2) basic igneous rocks, (3) high-rank metamorphic rocks, (4) reworked sediments, and (5) ex­ plosive volcanic activity. The high angularity and low stability of most of the heavy min­ erals suggests that the crystalline rocks of the mountains that flank the valley were the source of most of the detritus. The presence of glass and fresh euhedral volcanic minerals suggests that explosive volcanic activity has also contributed greatly to the detritus that fills the valley. The use of heavy minerals as a means of differentiation and correlation of strata must be based upon frequency of occurrence of mineral species, rather than on any major mineralogical changes. ii The uniformity of the general heavy mineral suite over a con­ siderable vertical and lateral range, and the characteristic lenticular and discontinuous nature of the Cenozoic sediments, may make the de­ termination of mineral zones difficult. ..................... • -v . ■ ' ■ .■ ' -'0 -- . ■' 1 :) T- - ri., "- 10 :0 i"; h'V-- .

Species richness as an avian community monitoring parameter. Species richness is rarely used as a long-term ecological monitoring parameter, yet it represents many characteristics that are recommended for consideration in parameter selection: it is relevant to most land-management goals, has low natural and sampling variability, and is cost effective. While species richness is less sensitive to environmental change than is abundance, it often responds to significant changes (e.g., habitat fragmentation or loss), and methods used to estimate richness allow estimation of other useful parameters (species distribu- tion, species composition). We used data collected in five national parks in southern Arizona and New Mexico to evaluate the potential of avian species richness as a parameter to detect trends in breeding bird communities. Parks surveyed repre- sent gradients in factors such as elevation, vegetation communities, and park size.

    IPaC Information for Planning and Consultation U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service IPaC resource list This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project-specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

In the bibliography, we provide website addresses for almost all of the sources cited. For the convenience of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), we will also be providing these sources on CDs by postal mail. For each of the species below, we discuss FWS’s finding in terms of the Listing Factors the agency recognizes, as well as additional listing factors we urge FWS to consider in its status reviews for each of these species. To be clear, ESA Section 4 (16 U.S.C. § 1533(a)(1)) sets forth listing factors under which a species can qualify for ESA protection (see also 50 C.F.R. § 424.11(c)): A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of habitat or range; B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; C. Disease or predation; D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; and E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. A taxon needs to meet just one of these listing factors to qualify for ESA listing, as threatened or endangered.

We record here all known occurrences of proboscideans from that area, and record the latest find, a nearly complete skull that was recovered in 1999. The skull represents an adult Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) which was at least 45 years old at the time of its death. We also comment on the difficulty of allocating individual teeth to either Rhynchotherium or Cuvieronius and question a number of earlier identifications. GEOGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOGICAL 1984).
