ACTION: Notice of review. SUMMARY: In this candidate notice of review (CNOR), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), present an updated list of plant and animal species that we regard as candidates for or have proposed for addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, and by allowing landowners and resource managers to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened. Even if we subsequently list a candidate species, the early notice provided here could result in more options for species management and recovery by prompting earlier candidate conservation measures to alleviate threats to the species. This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions and describes our 1 progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) during the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2018.

Salazar also announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act, is designating critical habitat on the island for 47 of these species. “Our action today reflects President Obama’s determination to base conservation decisions on the best available science and to move quickly to protect our nation’s wildlife and ecosystems when, like the fragile ecosystem of Kaua‘i, they are at risk,” said Salazar. The designation of critical habitat for the 47 species represents a significant step forward from the Service’s past efforts to designate critical habitat for threatened and endangered species in Hawai‘i. Previous critical habitat designations created an overlapping patchwork of habitat that did not maximize conservation efforts for these species and Hawai‘i’s natural communities. “The ecosystem-based approach that our scientists used to make this decision represents an efficient and innovative model for conserving imperiled species and their habitats,” said Salazar.

John S. Terblanche1,* and H. Arthur Woods2 ABSTRACT exchange (the whole surface, lungs, gills, parapodia, everted rectal Insects exchange respiratory gases using an astonishing diversity of sacs, etc.). Usually there is convective transport (see Glossary) of patterns. Of these, discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) have oxygen to the exchange surface from the environment, either by received the most study, but there are many other patterns exhibited external currents of water or by active ventilation of the surface (e.g. ‘ ’ intraspecifically and interspecifically. Moreover, some individual tidal ventilation of lungs in mammals). Oxygen then moves insects transition between patterns based on poorly understood inward by diffusion across that surface, and CO2 (usually) moves combinations of internal and external factors. Why have biologists outward across the same structure. Because most animals are large failed, so far, to develop a framework capable of explaining this enough that internal diffusion-based supplies of oxygen become diversity? Here, we propose two answers. The first is that the highly inadequate (Schmidt-Nielsen, 1997), they use additional framework will have to be simultaneously general and highly detailed. internal systems for distributing the oxygen from the exchange It should describe, in a universal way, the physical and chemical surface to the mitochondria (and removing CO2).
