  • 9 a New Record of Burrowing Mayfly, Anthopotamus Neglectus Neglectus
    Ohio Biological Survey Notes 10: 9–12, 2021. © Ohio Biological Survey, Inc. A New Record of Burrowing Mayfly, Anthopotamus neglectus neglectus (Traver, 1935) (Ephemeroptera: Potamanthidae), from Ohio, USA DONALD H. DEAN1 1Departments of Entomology and Chemistry & Biochemistry, 484 W. 12th Ave., The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH USA 43214. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A new state record for a mayfly (Ephemeroptera) was collected on the Olentangy River, Delaware County, Ohio, USA. Anthopotamus neglectus Traver (1935) were collected as nymphs and subsequently reared to adults. Keywords: Olentangy River, Delaware County, Ohio Introduction The neglected hackle-gilled burrowing mayfly, or the golden (or yellow) drake to fly fishers, Anthopotamus neglectus was first described by Traver (1935) as Potomanthus neglectus. Bae and McCafferty (1991) reorganized the family Potomanthidae and placed the taxon in a new genus, Anthopotamus McCafferty and Bae (1990). They further divided the species into two subspecies, A. neglectus neglectus and A. neglectus disjunctus. The geographic range of the former species was originally given as a small circle centered in New York. The latter species was centered in the south-central United States. More recently, A. neglectus neglectus has been reported in eastern North America including Ontario, Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia (Randolph, 2002). The online database NatureServe Explorer (2019) lists the range of A. neglectus neglectus as previously stated, with the addition of Georgia and Pennsylvania (but it includes the caveat “Distribution data for U.S. states and Canadian provinces is known to be incomplete or has not been reviewed for this taxon”).

    ~ ~ WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES A Survey of Rare and Endangered Mayflies of Selected RESEARCH Rivers of Wisconsin by Richard A. Lillie REPORT110 Bureau of Research, Monona December 1995 ~ Abstract The mayfly fauna of 25 rivers and streams in Wisconsin were surveyed during 1991-93 to document the temporal and spatial occurrence patterns of two state endangered mayflies, Acantha­ metropus pecatonica and Anepeorus simplex. Both species are candidates under review for addition to the federal List of Endang­ ered and Threatened Wildlife. Based on previous records of occur­ rence in Wisconsin, sampling was conducted during the period May-July using a combination of sampling methods, including dredges, air-lift pumps, kick-nets, and hand-picking of substrates. No specimens of Anepeorus simplex were collected. Three specimens (nymphs or larvae) of Acanthametropus pecatonica were found in the Black River, one nymph was collected from the lower Wisconsin River, and a partial exuviae was collected from the Chippewa River. Homoeoneuria ammophila was recorded from Wisconsin waters for the first time from the Black River and Sugar River. New site distribution records for the following Wiscon­ sin special concern species include: Macdunnoa persimplex, Metretopus borealis, Paracloeodes minutus, Parameletus chelifer, Pentagenia vittigera, Cercobrachys sp., and Pseudiron centra/is. Collection of many of the aforementioned species from large rivers appears to be dependent upon sampling sand-bottomed substrates at frequent intervals, as several species were relatively abundant during only very short time spans. Most species were associated with sand substrates in water < 2 m deep. Acantha­ metropus pecatonica and Anepeorus simplex should continue to be listed as endangered for state purposes and receive a biological rarity ranking of critically imperiled (S1 ranking), and both species should be considered as candidates proposed for listing as endangered or threatened as defined by the Endangered Species Act.

New characters of the thorax, the female gen­ italia, and the egg chorion are used. The Siphlonuroidea consist of a Northern Hemisphere group of families (Siphlonuridae s. str., Dipteromimidae, Ameletidae, Metretopodidae, Acanthametropodidae and Ametropodidae) and a Southern Hemisphere group of families (Oniscigastridae, Nesameletidae, Rallidentidae, and Ameletopsidae). The family Dipteromimidae and the subfamily Parameletinae are established. The synonymy of lsonychia polita and Acanthametropus nikolskyi is documented. Fossil Siphlonuroidea of uncertain family status are included. The rel ation ships between the families are di s­ cussed. Key words: eggs. Ephemeroptera, morphology, phylogeny, Siphlonuridae, Siphlonuroidea, systematics. INTRODUCTION The taxonomy and the phylogeny of Siphlonuroidea or Siphlonuridae sensu Lato are subject to different opinions. The authors that have worked on the rank and composition of this taxon (EDMUNDS, 1972; MCCAFFERTY & EDMUNDS, 1979; LANDA & SOLDAN, 1985; M CCAFFERTY, 1991; TOMKA & ELPERS, 1991; KLUGE, in press, and others) have used the taxon Siphlonuridae in different senses. These dif­ ferences are based on (1) the importance attached to adult versus larval characters, (2) the interpretation of characters as being synapomorphic or symplesiomorphic, (3) the paraphyletic nature of the group, and ( 4) inadequate diagnoses of many tax a.

  • 2010 Animal Species of Concern
    MONTANA NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM Animal Species of Concern Species List Last Updated 08/05/2010 219 Species of Concern 86 Potential Species of Concern All Records (no filtering) A program of the University of Montana and Natural Resource Information Systems, Montana State Library Introduction The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) serves as the state's information source for animals, plants, and plant communities with a focus on species and communities that are rare, threatened, and/or have declining trends and as a result are at risk or potentially at risk of extirpation in Montana. This report on Montana Animal Species of Concern is produced jointly by the Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP). Montana Animal Species of Concern are native Montana animals that are considered to be "at risk" due to declining population trends, threats to their habitats, and/or restricted distribution. Also included in this report are Potential Animal Species of Concern -- animals for which current, often limited, information suggests potential vulnerability or for which additional data are needed before an accurate status assessment can be made. Over the last 200 years, 5 species with historic breeding ranges in Montana have been extirpated from the state; Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus), Greater Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus cupido), Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), Pilose Crayfish (Pacifastacus gambelii), and Rocky Mountain Locust (Melanoplus spretus). Designation as a Montana Animal Species of Concern or Potential Animal Species of Concern is not a statutory or regulatory classification. Instead, these designations provide a basis for resource managers and decision-makers to make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities in order to avoid additional extirpations.

  • Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts
    Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts September 15, 2013 This report is the result of several years of field data collection, analyses and IBI development, and consideration of the opportunities for wetland program and policy development in relation to IBIs and CAPS Index of Ecological Integrity (IEI). Contributors include: University of Massachusetts Amherst Kevin McGarigal, Ethan Plunkett, Joanna Grand, Brad Compton, Theresa Portante, Kasey Rolih, and Scott Jackson Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management Jan Smith, Marc Carullo, and Adrienne Pappal Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Lisa Rhodes, Lealdon Langley, and Michael Stroman Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a fully empirically-based method for developing Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) that does not rely on expert opinion or the arbitrary designation of reference sites and pilot its application in forested wetlands, coastal salt marshes and wadable freshwater streams in Massachusetts. The method we developed involves: 1) using a suite of regression models to estimate the abundance of each taxon across a gradient of stressor levels, 2) using statistical calibration based on the fitted regression models and maximum likelihood methods to predict the value of the stressor metric based on the abundance of the taxon at each site, 3) selecting taxa in a forward stepwise procedure that conditionally improves the concordance between the observed stressor value and the predicted value the most and a stopping rule for selecting taxa based on a conditional alpha derived from comparison to pseudotaxa data, and 4) comparing the coefficient of concordance for the final IBI to the expected distribution derived from randomly permuted data.

  • Trichomycetes from Lentic and Lotic Aquatic Habitats in Ontario, Canada
    1449 Trichomycetes from lentic and lotic aquatic habitats in Ontario, Canada D.B. Strongman and Merlin M. White Abstract: Fungi and protists make up an ecological group, trichomycetes, that inhabit the guts of invertebrates, mostly aquatic insects. Trichomycetes are reported herein from arthropods collected in lotic habitats (fast flowing streams) and lentic environments (ponds, ditches, seeps, and lakes) from 11 sites in Algonquin Park and 6 other sites in Ontario, Can- ada. Thirty-two trichomycete species were recovered, including 7 new species: Legeriomyces algonquinensis, Legeriosi- milis leptocerci, Legeriosimilis whitneyi, and Paramoebidium umbonatum are described from mayfly nymphs (Ephemeroptera); Pennella digitata and Glotzia incilis from black fly and midge larvae (Diptera), respectively; and Arun- dinula opeongoensis from a crayfish (Crustacea). Legeriomyces rarus Lichtw. & M.C. Williams and Stachylina penetralis Lichtw. are new North American records, and seven species are documented for the first time in Canada. More common and widely distributed trichomycete species such as Harpella melusinae Le´ger & Duboscq and Smittium culicis Manier, were also recovered. Most previous studies on trichomycetes have been done primarily in lotic environments but clearly lentic systems (e.g., ponds and lakes) harbour diverse arthropod communities and further exploration of these habitats will continue to increase our knowledge of trichomycete diversity. Key words: Amoebidiales, Eccrinales, Harpellales, insect fungal endobionts, symbiotic protista. Re´sume´ : Les champignons et les protistes comportent un groupe e´cologique, les trichomyce`tes, qui habitent les intestins de la plupart des insectes aquatiques. Les auteurs rapportent des ttrichomyce`tes provenant d’arthropodes vivants dans des habitats lotiques (cours d’eau rapides) et des environnements lentiques (e´tangs, fosse´s, suintement et lacs) re´colte´s sur 11 sites dans le parc Algonquin et six autres sites en Ontario, au Canada.
