    1 Status Assessment Report for the Rayed Bean, Villosa Fabalis

    Status Assessment Report for the rayed bean, Villosa fabalis, occurring in the Mississippi River and Great Lakes systems (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regions 3, 4, and 5, and Canada) Prepared by Ohio River Valley Ecosystem Team Mollusk Subgroup Robert S. Butler, Leader U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 160 Zillicoa Street Asheville NC 28801 September 2002 1 Disclaimer This document is a compilation of biological data and a description of past, present, and likely future threats to the rayed bean (Villosa fabalis). It does not represent a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on whether this taxon should be designated as a candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act. That decision will be made by the Service after reviewing this document; other relevant biological and threat data not included herein; and all relevant laws, regulations, and policies. The result of the decision will be posted on the Service's Region 3 Web site (refer to: http://midwest.fws.gov/eco_serv/endangrd/lists/concern.html). If designated as a candidate species, the taxon will subsequently be added to the Service's candidate species list that is periodically published in the Federal Register and posted on the World Wide Web (refer to: http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html). Even if the taxon does not warrant candidate status it should benefit from the conservation recommendations that are contained in this document. 2 Common name: rayed bean Scientific name: Villosa fabalis Controversial or unsettled taxonomic issues: The rayed bean is a member of the mussel family Unionidae and was originally described as Unio fabalis Lea, 1831.

    Freshwater Mussels of the National Park Service Obed Wild and Scenic River, Tennessee

    Malacological Review, 2017, 45/46: 193-211 FRESHWATER MUSSELS OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE OBED WILD AND SCENIC RIVER, TENNESSEE Steven A. Ahlstedt1, Joseph F. Connell2, Steve Bakaletz3, and Mark T. Fagg4 ABSTRACT The Obed River was designated as a Wild and Scenic River (WSR) in 1976 and is a unit of the National Park Service. The river is considered to be among the highest quality in the state of Tennessee supporting a rich ecological diversity. Two federally listed species (one fish and one mussel) occur in the Obed: spotfin chub Cyprinella monacha, and purple bean Villosa perpurpurea. The Obed is a major tributary to the upper Emory River. Historical mussel collections and recent sampling have documented 27 species in the drainage. Freshwater mussel sampling was relegated to the Obed WSR and tributaries to determine species composition, abundance, and whether reproduction and recruitment is occurring to the fauna. Mussel sampling was conducted from 2000-2001 within the boundaries of the WSR at access points throughout the length of the Obed including portions of the upper Emory River, Daddy’s, Clear, and Whites creek. A total of 585 mussels representing nine species were found during the study. The most abundant mussel found was Villosa iris that comprised 55% of the fauna, followed by Lampsilis fasciola 19% and Medionidus conradicus 14%. The federally endangered V. perpurpurea was represented at 3%. Two species, Pleuronaia barnesiana (live) and Lampsilis cardium (fresh dead), were found as single individuals and P. barnesiana is a new distribution record for the Obed. The mussel fauna in the Obed WSR is relatively rare and historically the river may never have had a more diverse fauna because of the biologically non-productive nature of shale and sandstone that characterize streams on the Cumberland Plateau.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) developed this plan in response to the determination that the limpkin (Aramus guarauna) no longer warrants listing as a Species of Special Concern. The goal of this plan is to ensure the conservation status of the limpkin remains the same or is improved so that it does not warrant re-listing on the Florida Endangered and Threatened Species List.
