List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017
Washington Natural Heritage Program List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017 The following list of animals known from Washington is complete for resident and transient vertebrates and several groups of invertebrates, including odonates, branchipods, tiger beetles, butterflies, gastropods, freshwater bivalves and bumble bees. Some species from other groups are included, especially where there are conservation concerns. Among these are the Palouse giant earthworm, a few moths and some of our mayflies and grasshoppers. Currently 857 vertebrate and 1,100 invertebrate taxa are included. Conservation status, in the form of range-wide, national and state ranks are assigned to each taxon. Information on species range and distribution, number of individuals, population trends and threats is collected into a ranking form, analyzed, and used to assign ranks. Ranks are updated periodically, as new information is collected. We welcome new information for any species on our list.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -

Lechleitner2 ABSTRACT.—Mount Rainier National Park, with an area of 95,356 ha, is approximately one-third as large as the state of Rhode Island. The lowest point is 490 m in elevation in the southeastern corner near where the Ohanapecosh River crosses the southern boundary. Columbia Crest is the highest point at 4392 m. The entire park is a rugged landscape marked by the major topographical feature, Mount Rainier, comprising over 25,899 ha, almost one-third of the park. The park lies entirely west of the crest line of the Cascade Range. Most streams in the park originate on Mount Rainier; however, several large rivers meander through the park near its boundaries. -
Plecoptera) of a Western Oregon
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF CARY DEAN KERST for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in ENTOMOLOGY presentedon 1,--0"J, (Major) (Date) Title: THE SEASONAL OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF STONEFLIES (PLECOPTERA) OF A WESTERN OREGON STREAM Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy N. H. Anderson Plecoptera were collected from four sampling stations selected to represent a range of conditions on Oak Creek, a small woodland stream originating in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range.The elevation of Site I was 700 ft. while the lowest site was located at 225 ft.Monthly benthos samples were taken for one year from a riffle and glide section at each site using a stovepipe sampler (6 in. dia. ) and a standard tropical fish net.Samples were sorted in the laboratory and Plecoptera identified and placed into 1 mm size classes.Emer- gence of adults was measured for 13 months using a tent-shaped trap (1 m2) at each site.Traps were checked once or twice weekly. Forty-two species of Plecoptera were found in Oak Creek.The number of species is very large when compared with other studies. The stonefly fauna is fairly similar to that reported 35 years ago. Thirty-seven of the 42 species complete emergence during the spring.Temporal separation is marked in the emergence periods of Nemoura and Leuctra. Examples of split emergence periods and early emergence of males were found.Life cycle information is given for a number of species and genera. Using the Shannon-Wiener function, diversity of emerging adults ranks by season as: Spring > Summer > Winter > Fall.The diversity of the sites on a yearly basis is:II > I > III > IV.Using a percentage of similarity index it is concluded that Sites I and II are very similar. -

Using Natural History Attributes of Stream Invertebrates to Measure Stream Health
Using Natural History Attributes of Stream Invertebrates to Measure Stream Health April 25, 2013, Final Leska Fore1, Robert Wisseman2, Jo Opdyke Wilhelm3, Deborah Lester3, Karen Adams4, Gretchen Hayslip5, and Peter Leinenbach5 1 Statistical Design, 136 NW 40th St., Seattle, WA 98107 2 Aquatic Biology Associates, Inc., 3490 Northwest Deer Run Street, Corvallis, OR 97330 3 King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, 201 South Jackson, Seattle, WA 98104 4 Washington State Department of Ecology, 300 Desmond Drive SE, Lacey, WA 98503 5 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101 Abstract The benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) measures the biological health of wadeable streams in the Puget Sound watershed. The B-IBI evaluates 10 aspects of aquatic invertebrate communities related to taxonomic composition, trophic complexity, sensitivity to human disturbance, and other aspects of biological condition. For this study, taxonomic information for three of the 10 metrics was updated based on current scientific literature; these were long-lived taxa richness, percent predator individuals and clinger taxa richness. Correlation with percent urban area in the watershed improved slightly for long-lived taxa richness but did not change for clinger taxa richness or percent predator individuals, although the association with human disturbance remained significant for all three metrics. Taxonomic information used to calculate metrics for intolerant taxa richness and percent tolerant individuals was updated with data collected by city, county, and state agencies available in a regional database (PSSB, 2011). Individual taxa were tested for their response to a regional gradient of watershed urbanization. The most intolerant and most tolerant taxa were selected by comparing the cumulative frequency distributions of the sites where a taxon was found to the distribution of all sites sampled. -

Long-Lived Taxa Attribute List: Documentation of Methods for Deriving the List Robert Wisseman, Aquatic Biology Associates, Inc., June 13, 2012
Long-Lived Taxa Attribute List: Documentation of methods for deriving the list Robert Wisseman, Aquatic Biology Associates, Inc., June 13, 2012 Karr’s Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity (BIBI) for benthic macroinvertebrates uses the total number of long-lived taxa as one of 10 metrics to evaluate the biological health of streams (http://www.pugetsoundstreambenthos.org/). For the second iteration of this index for Puget Sound Lowland streams, the classification of long-lived taxa is being updated and refined. Long-lived benthic invertebrate taxa are those where a significant portion of individuals require more than one year to complete their life cycle. While some aquatic invertebrates always display a fixed number of generations per year, many aquatic invertebrates are plastic in regards to the length of time required to complete a life cycle from egg to adult. Depending on environmental factors such as water temperature and the seasonal accumulation of degree-days, populations or individuals develop at varying rates. Voltine refers to the number of broods or generations a year that a species exhibits, typically in reference to arthropod life history. Prefixes are appended to voltine to describe generation time, e.g. univoltine refers to a species that has one generation per year, bivoltine for two generations per year, and trivoltine for three generations per year. Application and meaning of prefixes for voltinism in the literature is inconsistent and confusing. For example, Huryn et al. (2008) refer to semivoltine as a life cycle requiring a fixed two years. Poff et al. (2006) consider a semivoltine life cycle to be anything greater than one year.
