(1-5) Or LPN Proposed FY Timeframe Curre National Listing Workplan 7-Year Workplan (September 2016 Version) 12M: 12-month finding on a petition to list a species. If listing is warranted, we generally intend to proceed with a concurrent proposed Key to Action Types- listing rule and proposed critical habitat designation, if critical habitat is prudent and determinable. Discretionary Status Review: Status review undertaken by discretion of the Service. Results of the review may be to propose listing, make a species a candidate for listing, provide notice of a not warranted candidate assessment, or other action as appropriate. Proposed Listing Determination: For species that are already candidates for listing, a proposed listing determination would either propose the species for listing or provide notice of a not warranted finding. We generally intend to propose critical habitat designations concurrent with proposed listing rules, to the extent prudent and determinable. Final Listing Determination: For species that have already been proposed for listing, the final listing determination would either finalize or withdraw the proposed listing rule. We generally intend to finalize critical habitat designations concurrent with final listing rules, to the extent prudent and determinable. PCH: Proposed critical habitat rulemaking when not concurrent with a proposed listing rule. FCH: Final critical habitat rulemaking for previously proposed critical habitat. rPCH: Revised proposed critical habitat for previously proposed, but not finalized, critical habitat needing revision.

The Service finds that the petition presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing the spot-tailed earless lizard may be warranted. This finding is based on potential threats posed by predation from fire ants. Fire ants are known to adversely impact native fauna in general, including reptiles. Fire ants occur across a large part of the spot-tailed earless lizard’s range and may pose a threat through direct predation on adults, hatchlings and eggs. The spot-tailed earless lizard is divided into two distinct subspecies, based on morphological (physical) differences and geographic separation. The northern spot-tailed earless lizard subspecies (Holbrookia lacerata lacerata) historically occurred throughout the Edwards Plateau in Texas. The southern spot-tailed earless lizard (Holbrookia lacerata subcaudalis) historically occurred through south Texas into parts of Mexico’s States of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas. The present population of the spot-tailed earless lizard’s population status is largely unknown.

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

  • Ecosystem Disturbance and Wildlife Conservation in Western Grasslands
    Evolution and management of the North American grassland herpetofauna Norman J. Scott, Jr.1 Abstract.—The modern North American grassland herpetofauna has evolved in situ since the Miocene. Pleistocene glaciation had a minimal effect except in the far North, with only minor displacements of some species. South of the glaciers, winters were warmer and summers cooler than at present. Snake- like reptiles, leaping frogs, and turtle “tanks” are favored adaptive types in uniform dense grassland. A typical fauna consists of about 10-15 species, mostly snakes. Special habitat components, such as streams and ponds, bare ground, sand, trees, prairie dog towns, and rocky outcrops, add distinct suites of species. There is also an increase in species number from north to south and west to east. Grassland use and management, such as prairie dog con- trol, off-road vehicle traffic, and brush removal, have demonstrable effects on the herpetofauna. However, the effects of three of the most widespread management procedures—water development, grazing, and fire—are largely unstudied. Although highly fragmented, the majority of species of grassland reptiles and amphibians are widespread and populations are resilient, but there are special conservation problems associated with Pleistocene relicts with limited distributions. INTRODUCTION Parmenter et al. (1994) documented the excep- tionally high vertebrate diversity in southwestern At the time of the arrival of Europeans in North rangelands, and they emphasized that preserva- America, much of the interior of the continent was tion of this biodiversity in the remaining habitat covered by grasslands.

ZooKeys 593: 117–137. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.593.8484 Abstract We compiled a checklist of the amphibians and reptiles of the state of Coahuila, Mexico. The list com- prises 133 species (24 amphibians, 109 reptiles), representing 27 families (9 amphibians, 18 reptiles) and 65 genera (16 amphibians, 49 reptiles). Coahuila has a high richness of lizards in the genus Sceloporus. Coahuila has relatively few state endemics, but has several regional endemics. Overlap in the herpetofauna of Coahuila and bordering states is fairly extensive. Of the 132 species of native amphibians and reptiles, eight are listed as Vulnerable, six as Near Threatened, and six as Endangered in the IUCN Red List. In the SEMARNAT listing, 19 species are Subject to Special Protection, 26 are Threatened, and three are in Danger of Extinction.

  • Reptiles of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Comanche County, Oklahomal ROBERT G
    ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FOR 1953 87 Reptiles of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Comanche County, Oklahomal ROBERT G. WEBB and .A. L ORTENBUBGER, UnITerslt)- of Oklahoma, Norman Since Ortenburger's list of amphibians and reptiles from the Wichita Mountains appeared (12), additional collections by various workers have increased the number of known species of reptiles from the region. It seems advisable to assemble the existing records of the reptUian fauna so that a recent summary will be .available. This list includes all the reptiles known from Comanche County. Most or the records however, are from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and reflect more intensive collecting in this mountainous area than in the adjacent lower parts of the county. A few species reported from the low­ lands have not as yet been collected in the mountains. 'There are no reptiles confined to the Wichita Mountains. Notes on the taxonomy and habits of certain species are included when pertinent. Localities are given for those species that have not been taken In the Refuge. All specimens are deposited in the University of Oklahoma Museum of Zoology (UOMZ) (Now the University of Oklahoma Museum, Division of Zoology). Mr. Frank B. McMurray, former biologist at the Refuge is responsible for many of the records and has donated a large series of specimens to the University of Oklahoma. The Wichita Mountains are located mostly in Comanche County but extend westward through Kiowa County to eastern Greer County. The Refuge, comprising 61,480 acres, is located in the northwestern part of Comanche County about 25 miles north of Fort sm, and occupies a dis­ sected plateau at an elevation of approximately 1600 feet.

Labay currently at Siglo Group, Austin, TX 78702 Abstract Species delimitation attempts to match species-level taxonomy with actual evolutionary lineages. Such taxonomic conclusions are typically, but not always, based on patterns of congruence across multiple data sources and methods of analyses. Here, we use this pluralistic approach to species delimitation to help resolve uncertainty in species boundaries of phrynosomatid sand lizards of the genus Holbrookia.

Many of these lands support rich and diverse populations of lizards. The following collection of articles provides a sample of the outstanding scholarly and practical work being conducted on our federal public lands.
