  • 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).

Thornforest restoration is limited by native tree and shrub seedling availability for planting. Seedling shortages arise from low seed availability and knowledge gaps regarding best practices for germinating and growing the 70+ thornforest species desired for restoration plantings. To fill key knowledge gaps, we investigated three ecologically Citation: Luera, P.; Wahl-Villarreal, important thornforest species with low or highly variable germination or seedling survival rates: K.; Christoffersen, B.O.; Treviño, A.; Ebenopsis ebano, Cordia boissieri, and Zanthoxylum fagara. For each, we quantified the effects of different Soti, P.; Gabler, C.A.

Fairfax Drive Suite 222 Arlington, VA 22203 VIA Federal Rule-Making Portal: http://www.regulations.gov Re: Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-2008-0130, Comments on Status Reviews for 67 Southwestern Species Dear Fish and Wildlife Service, I hereby submit comments on behalf of WildEarth Guardians and our members, regarding Endangered Species Act (ESA) status reviews for 67 southwestern species. In the bibliography, we provide website addresses for almost all of the sources cited. For the convenience of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), we will also be providing these sources on CDs by postal mail. For each of the species below, we discuss FWS’s finding in terms of the Listing Factors the agency recognizes, as well as additional listing factors we urge FWS to consider in its status reviews for each of these species. To be clear, ESA Section 4 (16 U.S.C. § 1533(a)(1)) sets forth listing factors under which a species can qualify for ESA protection (see also 50 C.F.R. § 424.11(c)): A. The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of habitat or range; B. Overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; C. Disease or predation; D. The inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; and E. Other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. A taxon needs to meet just one of these listing factors to qualify for ESA listing, as threatened or endangered.
