San Bruno Mountain Self Guided Tour San Bruno Mountain Self-guided Tour San Bruno Mountain Park is a landmark of local and regional significance, standing as a unique open-space island in the midst of the peninsula's urbanization at the northern end of the Santa Cruz Mountain Range. The Mountain's ridge line runs in an east-west configuration, with considerable slopes and elevations ranging from 250 feet to 1,314 feet at the summit. The 2,416 acres of rugged landscape offer excellent hiking opportunities and outstanding views of San Francisco and Central Bay Area.

Status and Trends. University of Southern California GIS Research Laboratory and Center for Sus- tainable Cities, Los Angeles, California. Summary Managers surveyed for sensitive butterfly species with the San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan area between 1982 and 2000 using a haphazard “wandering tran- sect.” To extract as much valuable information as possible from the data collected by this suboptimal methodology we analyzed patterns of surveys and butterfly presence and absence within 250 m square cells gridded across the area within a Geographic In- formation System. While estimates of butterfly abundance were not possible, the data could be tested for trends in butterfly occupancy. For those cells surveyed during at least 10 years, no trends in the total number of occupied cells was evident for either Callippe silverspot butterfly or mission blue butterfly. There were cells, however, that showed positive or negative trends (p<0.2) in occupancy for each species (Callippe sil- verspot butterfly: 14 positive, 15 negative, 6 cells occupied all years; mission blue but- terfly: 40 positive; 40 negative, 2 cells occupied all years).

  • Planning Butterfly Habitat Restorations
    Planning Butterfly Habitat Restorations Kim R. Mason Introduction Ecologists and entomologists in Britain and the United States have participated in numerous projects aimed at restoring, expanding, and mitigating losses of habitat for native butterflies. Some of these butterflies have been listed as threatened or endangered; others have been lost or are in decline in certain portions of their former ranges. The experiences and observations of these scientists illustrate potential needs and concerns when planning to restore or improve existing butterfly habitat. This paper will relate several cases in which complex biotic and abiotic interactions played important roles in the success or failure of butterfly habitat restoration and the reestablishment of butterfly populations. Although each butterfly species has its own unique combination of habitat requirements and life history, some fundamental principles concerning butterfly biology (New 1991) are significant in planning habitat restorations. Most caterpillars are herbivores, and many are specialists which feed on only one kind or a few related kinds of plants. Therefore, the presence of appropriate larval host plants is the primary requirement of habitat restoration. In addition, many butterfly species require that the larval food plant be in a particular growth stage, of a certain height, exposed to the proper amount of sunlight, or in close proximity to another resource. Adults typically utilize a wider range of plants or other resources as food, and flight gives them expanded mobility. However, adult dispersal ability varies from species to species. For some, physical features such as a few meters of open space, a stream, a hedge, or a change in gradient create intrinsic barriers to dispersal; other species routinely migrate long distances.

    San Bruno Elfin Butterfly (Callophrys mossii bayensis) and Mission Blue Butterfly (Icaricia icarioides missionensis) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photo by Patrick Kobernus: Adult male mission blue butterfly. Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Field Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sacramento, California February 2010 5-YEAR REVIEW San Bruno Elfin Butterfly (Callophrys mossii bayensis) and Mission blue butterfly (Icaricia icarioides missionensis) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed.

Because pardalis phenotypes effectively surround the original distribution of I. i. pheres (now extinct in San Francisco), the subspecies I. i. missionensis may well be polyphylectic in origin, having arisen independently north and south of the center of I. i. pheres distribution. Thus the present "continuous" distribution of the Mission blue is an artifact of the disappearance of I. i. pheres. This taxon may be identified by comparison with illustrations of Icaricia (Plebejus) icarioides missionensis on Plate 59 (Fig.1 and 2) of "The butterflies of North America" (03). The black spotting of the ventral aspect of the male is slightly more intense than average.
