Kendall Warm Springs Dace (Rhinichthys Osculus Thermalis)
Kendall Warm Springs Dace (Rhinichthys osculus thermalis) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Cheyenne, Wyoming September 2007 5-Year Review Species reviewed: Kendall Warm Springs dace (Rhinichthys osculus thermalis) 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Reviewers Lead Regional or Headquarters Office - Mountain-Prairie Regional Office, 303-236-7400 Lead Field Office - Cheyenne Ecological Services Field Office, 307-772-2374 1.2 Methodology Used to Complete the Review The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) solicited information through a September 20, 2006, Federal Register notice (71 FR 55005). No comments were received as a result of that notice. USFWS also coordinated with staff of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and other expert professionals well-versed in the biology and status of the Kendall Warm Springs dace (KWS dace). Through coordination with expert professionals, we identified the type of information that would be most useful in completing the 5-year review process. We then developed our assessment of the current status of KWS dace. In accordance with the peer review requirements of the Office of Management and Budget’s Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review, in Spring 2007 we initiated peer review of the science relevant to the draft KWS dace 5-year review. Peer reviewers included--Jon Sjöberg with the State of Nevada’s Department of Wildlife; Pete Cavelli with WGFD; Allen Binns retired from WGFD; and Jeanette Carpenter with USGS. 1.3 Background 1.3.1 Federal Register Notice Announcing Initiation of This Review September 20, 2006.

Conway Committee Members, Gary P. Garrett John R. Gold Gary Voelker Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Dae-Min Kim ABSTRACT The longnose dace, Rhinichthys cataractae, is a primary freshwater fish inhibiting riffle habitats in small headwater rivers and streams across the North American continent, including drainages east and west of the Continental Divide. Phylogenetic analyses of 1140 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b gene and 2298-2346 bp of the nuclear-encoded genes S7 and RAG1 were obtained from 87 individuals of R. cataractae (collected throughout its range) and from several close relatives recovered a monophyletic R. cataractae species-group that contained R. evermanni, R. sp ―Millicoma dace‖ and R. cataractae; a monophyletic R. cataractae was not recovered. Within the R. cataractae species-group, two well-supported clades were identified, including a western clade (containing R. evermanni, R. sp. ―Millicoma dace‖ and individuals of R. cataractae from Pacific slope drainages) and an eastern clade (containing individuals of R. cataractae from Arctic, Atlantic, and Gulf slope drainages). Within the eastern clade of R.

Status in the United States From Nico and Neilson (2019): “Specimens ranging from 1-3 cm were taken from the Thames River drainage in Connecticut (Whitworth 1996). Specimens were collected from Lake Worth Drainage District canal L-15, adjacent to an aquarium fish farm west of Atlantis in Palm Beach County, Florida (Ogilvie 1969; Courtenay et al. 1974), but have not been found at that locality in subsequent years (Courtenay and Hensley 1979). A population became established in a canal south of Holmberg Road in Parkland, northern Broward County. When first discovered in December 1975, it was a dominant fish; however, the population was killed by extremely cold weather in January 1977 (Courtenay and Hensley 1979; Courtenay et al. 1984; Courtenay and Stauffer 1990). A single specimen was collected in the headwaters of Gamble Creek, near Parrish (UF 118475).” “Failed in Connecticut.

HEBBEN4, AND CLIFF WALLIS5 1Wildlife Systems Research, Box 1311, Banff, AB, T1L 1B3, Canada, email [email protected] 2Banff National Park, Box 900, Banff, AB, T1L 1K2, Canada 3CR Enterprises, 9828-89 Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T6E 2S4, Canada 453 Morgan Crescent, Edmonton, AB, T8N 2E1, Canada 5615 Deercroft Way S.E., Calgary, AB, T2J 5V4, Canada Abstract: One of the recovery actions identified in the Parks Canada approved Resource Management Plan for the Recovery of the Banff Springs Snail (see related abstracts by first two authors) was to document the flora and fauna of the thermal spring ecosystems as a means of understanding the ecosystems’ dynamics. In 2001 and 2002, several resource reconnaissances were conducted with the objective of identifying vascular plants, bryophytes and mosses, and algae, and odonates and other invertebrates that occupy the thermal springs. Concurrently, several conceptual models were developed which identified and explained the interactions of the various abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystems, including humans. These models ranged in scale from 1 m2 to the ecosystem level. The various resource reconnaissances found protozoa and 6 metazoan phyla including at least 1 endemic species, the endangered Banff springs snail (Physella johnsoni), and the Alberta-listed damselflies, Argia vivida (S1) and Amphiagrion abbreviatum (S2/S3). Additionally, 78 species and 3 intraspecific taxa (including a new provincial record and 28 ‘rare’ S1–S3 species) of moss, 13 species of liverworts (including 3 S1 and 3 S2 species), and 26 algae genera (representing 40–50 species) were found.
