  • Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies) at Inverness Ridge in Central Coastal California and Their Recovery Following a Wildfire
    LEPIDOPTERA (MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES) AT INVERNESS RIDGE IN CENTRAL COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THEIR RECOVERY FOLLOWING A WILDFIRE J. A. Powell Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract.— In numbers of species, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) make up the largest group of plant-feeding animals in North America. Caterpillars of nearly all species feed on plants, and most of them are specialists on one or a few kinds of plants. Therefore they are liable to be severely affected by wildfires, and secondarily, their parasites and predators, including birds, bats, lizards, and rodents, suffer losses of a major food resource. In October 1995, a wildfire swept over part of The Point Reyes National Seashore, burning more than 12,300 acres (5,000 hectares) of public and private land, following a fire-free period of several decades. I tracked survival and recolonization by moths and butterflies during the subsequent five seasons. I made daytime searches for adults and caterpillars approximately monthly from March through October and collected blacklight trap samples, mostly in May and September-October. More than 650 species of Lepidoptera have been recorded in the Inverness Ridge area, and about 375 of them were recorded during the post-fire survey, including larvae of 31% of them. Plants in a Bishop pine forest higher on the ridge, where the fire was most intense, accumulated their caterpillar faunas slowly, while Lepidoptera feeding on plants typical of riparian woods in the lower canyons reestablished sooner and more completely. Recolonization varied markedly among different plant species, and the species richness gradually increased, in marked contrast to generalizations about effects of fire on arthropods derived from fire management of grasslands.

  • Lepidoptera Recorded on Santa Catalina Island
    LEPIDOPTERA RECORDED ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND compiled by Jerry A. Powell August 2004; revised Jan. 2012 INTRODUCTION. --- HISTORY OF LEPIDOPTERA INVENTORY ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND, CALIFORNIA Santa Catalina Island is the third largest of the eight Channel Islands off the coast of southern California. It is the largest and nearest to the mainland (ca. 20 miles) of the four southern islands and historically has been the most easily accessible to visitors, some of whom collected Lepidoptera long before any were recorded on the other islands. Catalina island has an area of 76 mi2 (122 km2) and is about 21 miles (34 km) long and 8 miles (13 km) wide near its center. The island is mountainous, with a central ridge along its length, reaching elevations of 2,097’ (670m) and 2,010’ (648m). The flora is diverse, 2nd only to Santa Cruz among the CA islands, with more than 400 native species of vascular plants and 175+ introduced taxa. It is the only CA island open to the public, receiving daily residential and tourist traffic, with ferry and air transportation to and from Avalon (3,000 resident population) and Two Harbors (200 residents) (Schoenherr et al. 1999). The town of Avalon was founded as a potential resort in 1887, and later the island was purchased by the Banning family, who formed the Santa Catalina Island Company and completed work on Avalon, which they promoted as a fishing resort. By the 1890s photographs taken around Avalon indicate extensive vegetation stripping by feral goats and sheep. Feral ruminants were excluded from the southeastern portion of the island following its purchase by Wm.

Box 2177 Seaside, CA. 93955 3-19-08 CDFA c/o FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD Jim Rains Comments 6 pp. and References 129 pp. 1220 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Fax 916-654-1018 [email protected] RE; Draft EIR Comments; Light Brown Apple Moth Eradication Program The DEIR should address and include analysis of the following including applicable references; CEQA compliance; Each affected City or County at a minimum should have a complete comprehensive Project EIR depository with all public comments in original form for public review. The purpose of a legally adequate Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is to discuss, analyze, and fully disclose the impacts and potential negative impacts of a stable finite project description. The aerial spraying action constituted a Project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and therefore the spraying was in violation of CEQA. The EIR must be an unbiased document. The EIR must provide full analysis of reasonable project alternatives. It’s of critical importance to accurately identify the proposed project area. The proposed project goal must be carefully identified and irrefutable facts must be provided that support the project goal as achievable. Eradication is not a reasonable goal. In September and October 2007 CDFA caused Dynamic Aviation to perform night time close to the ground aerial spraying of Suterra chemical products on urban populations in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. These actions were taken with the concurrence of USDA and EPA. The public was not given the opportunity to review a Draft EIR prior to the 2007 aerial spraying.

  • COLLECTING in the SIERRA SAN PEDRO MARTIR, BAJA CALIFORNIA by DONALD PATTERSON and JERRY A
    19S9 Journal of the Lepidopterists' SOli,·ty 229 ESPECIALLY FOR FIELD COLLECTORS (Under the supervision of FRED T. THORNE, 1360 Merritt Dr., El Cajon, Calif., U.S.A.) LEPIDOPTERA COLLECTING IN THE SIERRA SAN PEDRO MARTIR, BAJA CALIFORNIA by DONALD PATTERSON and JERRY A. POWELL The Sierra San Pedro Martir is Baja California's highest mountain range and, together with the Sierra Juarez to the north, forms a 175 mile long direct continuation of the coast range in southern California. The San Pedro Martir, which stands isolated in the form of a high plateau, is sepa­ rated from the lower Sierra Juarez by San Matias Pass about 100 miles below the international border. These ranges in general f.all off in abrupt granite escarpments to the east and descend more gradually in a series of foothills toward the west, thus splitting the semi-desert of the northern part of the peninsula longitudinally. The high tableland of the San Pedro Martir has a width of 25 to 30 miles, averages about 7000' to 8000', and is said to support a half million acres of coniferous forests. The highest peaks of the range reach elevations above 9000' and 10,000' and form an east rim to the plateau. With its ex­ tensive meadows, deep canyons, permanent streams, canadian zone floral ele­ ments, and j lltting rocky peaks, the range forms a boreal "island" which is separated by some 175 miles from the nearest comparable mountain areas to the north. An excellent first hand account of the physiography and dominant features of the biota in the area has been given by NELSON (1921).
