KALINOWSKI Department of Ecology, Montana State University, Post Office Box 172460, Bozeman, Montana 59717, USA Abstract.—The fluvial Arctic grayling Thymallus arcticus is restricted to less than 5% of its native range in the contiguous United States and was relisted as a category 3 candidate species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 2010. Although fluvial Arctic grayling of the lower Gibbon River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, were considered to have been extirpated by 1935, anglers and biologists have continued to report catching low numbers of Arctic grayling in the river. Our goal was to determine whether a viable population of fluvial Arctic grayling persisted in the Gibbon River or whether the fish caught in the river were downstream emigrants from lacustrine populations in headwater lakes. We addressed this goal by determining relative abundances, sources, and evidence for successful spawning of Arctic grayling in the Gibbon River.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S.

  • WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGAN, (Lagopus Leucura) AS a THREATENED SPECIES UNDER the ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
    Photo © Christian Nunes PETITION TO LIST THE WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGAN, (Lagopus leucura) AS A THREATENED SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT August 24, 2010 CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY PETITIONER 1 August 24, 2010 TO: Mr. Ken Salazar Secretary of the Interior 18th and "C" Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20240 Dear Secretary Salazar: Pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §1533(b), Section 553(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 553(e), and 50 C.F.R. §424.14(a), The Center for Biological Diversity hereby formally petitions the Secretary of the Interior, through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”), to list either the U.S. population or Rocky Mountains population of the white-tailed ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura) as a threatened species and to designate critical habitat concurrent with listing. FWS has jurisdiction over this petition. This petition sets in motion a specific process, placing definite response requirements on FWS. Specifically, FWS must issue an initial finding as to whether the petition “presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted.” 16 U.S.C. §1533(b)(3)(A). FWS must make this initial finding “[t]o the maximum extent practicable, within 90 days after receiving the petition.” Id. Petitioners need not demonstrate that listing is warranted, rather, petitioners must only present information demonstrating that such listing may be warranted. While petitioners believe that the best available science demonstrates that listing the white-tailed ptarmigan as threatened is in fact warranted, there can be no reasonable dispute that the available information indicates that listing the species as threatened may be warranted.
