Ozier, and Alan Cressler. Biodiversity from caves and other subterranean habitats of Georgia, USA. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 82, no. 2, p. 125-167. DOI:10.4311/2019LSC0125 BIODIVERSITY FROM CAVES AND OTHER SUBTERRANEAN HABITATS OF GEORGIA, USA Kirk S. Zigler1C, Matthew L. Niemiller2, Charles D.R. Stephen3, Breanne N. Ayala1, Marc A. Milne4, Nicholas S. Gladstone5, Annette S. Engel6, John B. Jensen7, Carlos D. Camp8, James C. Ozier9, and Alan Cressler10 Abstract We provide an annotated checklist of species recorded from caves and other subterranean habitats in the state of Georgia, USA. We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state.

  • Ceh Code List for Recording the Macroinvertebrates in Fresh Water in the British Isles
    01 OCTOBER 2011 CEH CODE LIST FOR RECORDING THE MACROINVERTEBRATES IN FRESH WATER IN THE BRITISH ISLES CYNTHIA DAVIES AND FRANÇOIS EDWARDS CEH Code List For Recording The Macroinvertebrates In Fresh Water In The British Isles October 2011 Report compiled by Cynthia Davies and François Edwards Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Maclean Building Benson Lane Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford Oxfordshire, OX10 8BB United Kingdom Purpose The purpose of this Coded List is to provide a standard set of names and identifying codes for freshwater macroinvertebrates in the British Isles. These codes are used in the CEH databases and by the water industry and academic and commercial organisations. It is intended that, by making the list as widely available as possible, the ease of data exchange throughout the aquatic science community can be improved. The list includes full listings of the aquatic invertebrates living in, or closely associated with, freshwaters in the British Isles. The list includes taxa that have historically been found in Britain but which have become extinct in recent times. Also included are names and codes for ‘artificial’ taxa (aggregates of taxa which are difficult to split) and for composite families used in calculation of certain water quality indices such as BMWP and AWIC scores. Current status The list has evolved from the checklist* produced originally by Peter Maitland (then of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology) (Maitland, 1977) and subsequently revised by Mike Furse (Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), Ian McDonald (Thames Water Authority) and Bob Abel (Department of the Environment). That list was subject to regular revisions with financial support from the Environment Agency.

Applications of the following species names to forms previously recorded from Japanese waters are regarded as uncertain: Amphiporus cervicalis, Amphiporus depressus, Amphiporus lactifloreus, Cephalothrix filiformis, Cephalothrix linearis, Cerebratulus fuscus, Lineus vegetus, Lineus bilineatus, Lineus gesserensis, Lineus grubei, Lineus longifissus, Lineus mcintoshii, Nipponnemertes pulchra, Oerstedia venusta, Prostoma graecense, and Prostoma grande. The identities of the taxa referred to by the fol- lowing four nominal species require clarification through future investigations: Cosmocephala japonica, Dicelis rubra, Dichilus obscurus, and Nareda serpentina. The nominal species established from Japanese waters are tabulated. In addition, a brief history of taxonomic research on Japanese nemerteans is reviewed. Key words: checklist, Pacific, classification, ribbon worm, Nemertinea 2001). The only recent listing of previously described Japa- INTRODUCTION nese species is the checklist of Crandall et al. (2002), but The phylum Nemertea comprises about 1,200 species the relevant literature is scattered.

  • Lost Creek Coldwater Conservation Plan
    Lost Creek Coldwater Conservation Plan 2013 Prepared by the Juniata County Conservation District Page | 1 Funding Provided by the Coldwater Heritage Partnership EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lost Creek is a tributary to the Juniata River originating in the northeastern part of Juniata County, Pennsylvania. The entire stream is 17.5 miles in length, but only the upper portion, from its origin to where it crosses State Route 35 in Oakland Mills, PA is classified as a High Quality Cold Water Fishery (HQ-CWF) by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (25 Pa. Code § 93.9). PA FBC also considers this section of the stream a naturally reproducing, Class A Wild Trout Stream. The entirety of this section of the watershed is located within Fayette Township. In order to determine if this exceptional resource is continuing to serve Juniata County as a high quality cold water resource, the Juniata County Conservation District (JCCD) set out to validate the stream’s ratings via chemical testing (through both lab-verified and in-house tests), lab verified Macroinvertebrate testing, and stream habitat assessment. Additionally, JCCD sought to identify threats and opportunities within the watershed to ensure future conservation of this nearly pristine natural area. According to lab data and data collected by JCCD staff, the Lost Creek watershed upstream of State Route 35 in Oakland Mills, PA does, in fact, measure up to its designation. Although threatened by agricultural industry, residential development, and logging, Lost Creek offers great recreational opportunities and can certainly be preserved for the enjoyment of many generations to come, as well as for the benefit of the plentiful and somewhat rare natural communities that thrive within its boundaries.
