Jorgensen for Additional Evidentiary Hearing Scheduled for March 22, 2010 Re: Impacts to Bighorn Sheep from the Proposed Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System from Docket 07-AFC-5 Statement I have reviewed the Applicant’s Exhibit 88 which discusses a reduced project alternative proposal called the “Mitigated Ivanpah 3” project proposal. This new proposal fails to address any issues regarding the lack of identification and analysis of potential impacts to bighorn sheep which I discussed in my early testimony regarding the FSA. Without that information it is impossible to assess the extent of the impacts to the bighorn population in this area from the proposed Project or this new proposal including the potential loss of foraging habitat on the alluvial fan and the loss of connectivity between the ranges. The changes to the proposed project in this somewhat smaller project design do not make up for the failure to obtain and consider basic information about the use of the area by bighorn and the likely impacts to bighorn from the project. Through this additional testimony, I also re-adopt my previous testimony. 1 03/14/2010 SUN 8:16 FAX 7607677492 Anza-Borrego Sector ~002/002 Declaration ofMark C.

This proposal fails to address many of the issues regarding biological impacts raised in my earlier testimony. It is my professional opinion that the newly proposed project design would still have major impacts to the biological resources of the Ivanpah Valley, affecting many sensitive plant and wildlife species by eliminating a broad expanse of relatively undisturbed Mojave Desert habitat (FSA at 6.2-95) and significantly fragmenting the remaining habitat. Through this additional testimony, I re-adopt my previous testimony on the biological impacts of the project and the inadequacy of the analysis provided in the FSA and other documents and I provide additional recent data that regarding the impacts of the proposed project was not available at the time of my previous testimony or rebuttal. Wildlife Golden Eagle In my opinion there is still insufficient evidence before the Commission regarding the number of golden eagles that could be impacted by the proposed project. The impact to 1 the foraging area for the golden eagle still remains problematic, because the golden eagle is a fully-protected species under state law. Even for the two known pairs of nesting golden eagles in the Clark Mountains, there is insufficient evidence to show that the proposed project will not “take” golden eagles by destroying and disturbing foraging areas and other important eagle-use areas.1 For example, the project as proposed will impact foraging areas. Despite staff’s assertion that golden eagle’s “breeding season home range of 20-33 km2 (Kochert et al. 2002)”2 that citation relies on an earlier study, Marzluff et al. (1997)3 which identifies the breeding season home range between 190 to 8,330 ha (0.7 to 32.2 square miles) with core usage during the breeding season of 30 to 1,535 ha (0.12 to 6 square miles) in Idaho which, seasonally, is a more productive habitat than the Mojave desert. Staff’s analysis identifies two pairs of golden eagles nesting within 8 miles of the proposed project site. Therefore, the proposed project area, for both the initial proposal and the new so-called “mitigated” proposal, currently likely includes breeding season home ranges for both golden eagle pairs, and likely breeding season core area for at least one pair of golden eagles. Absent necessary surveys on the breeding season home range and core usage habitat for golden eagles on the site, I believe there will likely be an impact on the foraging of the adjacent golden eagles and therefore an impact on breeding success. Moreover, the literature shows that golden eagles generally avoid “disturbed areas”4. Because the proposed project site is likely within breeding season core areas and/or home ranges of the two eagle pairs, at minimum the proposed project will likely cause a reduction in use of important forage areas and other important eagle-use areas and may cause “take” of the golden eagle pairs already documented in the area. None of the impacts to the know golden eagle pairs have been adequately identified or analyzed in the FSA or other documents in this proceeding. Additionally, shrubland fragmentation of eagle foraging habitat is a documented impact5 because it affects their prey base. The cumulative impacts section fails to include an analysis of the cumulative fragmentation of the golden eagles’ breeding season home ranges and core areas. Migratory Birds and other Birds I re-adopt my earlier testimony and remain concerned that no studies of the use of this area by migratory birds were undertaken and the record is inadequate to identify and analyze the potential impacts to migratory bird species and other species.

Pearson 31st December 2016 iv ABSTRACT Every year billions of insects undertake long‐distance seasonal migrations, moving hundreds of tonnes of biomass across the globe and providing key ecological services. Yet we know very little about the complex migratory movements of these tiny animal migrants and less still about what causes their populations to fluctuate in space and time. Understanding the reason for these population level changes is important, especially for insect species that are agricultural pests and disease vectors.

Most human bed bug infes- tations are caused by the “common bed bug,” Cimex lectularius, or the “tropical bed bug,” C. hemipterus. Zoonotic cimicids also occasionally feed on humans. Bites are the most commonly reported manifesta- tion of infestations, although findings may be subtle and overlooked for some time. The bugs can be submitted to the laboratory for identification, and therefore, clinical microbiologists should be familiar with their key identifying features and how they can be differentiated from similar-appearing arthro- pods. This review covers the biology and epidemiology of bed bugs; aspects of laboratory collection, identification, and reporting; and the clinical implications of bed bug infestations.

Brown2 and Mary Bomberger Brown2 Department of Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544 USA Abstract. Colonially nesting Cliff Swallows (Passeriformes: Hirundo pyrrhonota) in southwestern Nebraska, USA, are commonly parasitized by hematophagous swallow bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae: Oeciacus vicarius) and fleas (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae: Ceratophyllus celsus). We examined to what degree these ectoparasites represent a cost of coloniality for Cliff Swallows. The number of swallow bugs per nest increased significantly with Cliff Swallow colony size. Body mass of nestling swallows at 10 d of age declined significantly as the number of bugs per nestling increased.
