Why Native and Adapted? Native plants (why important) Adapted plants (benefits, considerations) Other terms (cultivars, invasives) B. Eco-regions, Adaptations, and Wildlife Value of Native Texas Plants Part II: Getting to Know the Guide Part III: Plant Selections for Specific Garden Needs 1 9/13/2016 Why Native and Adapted? For the benefit of our Austin and Texas wildlife and landscape, it is helpful to select plants that: Are water-wise Are drought-tolerant Have wildlife value (esp. natives) Are naturally resistant to pests and diseases (esp. natives) Need less maintenance and fertilizing Also, higher survivability saves money! Bumblebee on Shrubby Boneset, or White Mistflower What is native? A native species is one that exists naturally in an eco-region without human introduction, direct or indirect. Native flora and fauna in an ecological community, having evolved together, are often interdependent. Autumn Sage (Cherry Sage), Datura, Blackfoot Daisy 2 9/13/2016 Why Are Native Plants Important? They protect Texas’ biodiversity They gain back natural ecosystems for our native flora and fauna wildlife interdependence They are specially adapted to handle Texas soil and weather They use less water and require less maintenance, fertilizing, and pest control They protect our watersheds They keep Texas beautiful!

  • Appendix a Application of the Criteria Used to Select the Species Of
    Appendix A Application of the Criteria Used To Select the Species of Greatest Conservation Need The specific criteria used to include or exclude species in the list of species of greatest conservation need are: Meeting any of the Following Listed as federal candidate (C), threatened (T) or endangered (E) species under the ESA. Classified as state endangered E), threatened (T) , or species of special concern (SC). Inclusion Global ranking scores of G1, G2 or G3 by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program1. Criteria Identified as conservation priorities through a range-wide status assessment or assessment of large taxonomic divisions. Assigned state ranking scores of S1 or S2 AND a global ranking score of G4 by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program2. Species meeting the inclusion criteria were eliminated from the Species of Greatest Conservation Need listing if they met any of the following: Exclusion Occurs peripherally in Colorado but is common elsewhere AND for which management Criteria actions in Colorado are likely to have no population-level effect. Very common but were placed on lists due to economic considerations (e.g., Mallard). 1 G1 is critically imperiled globally because of rarity (5 or fewer occurrences in the world; or very few remaining individuals), or because some factor of its biology makes it especially vulnerable to extinction. G2 is imperiled globally because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences), or because of other factors demonstrably making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G3 is vulnerable throughout its range or found locally in a restricted range (21 to 100 occurrences). From: Colorado Natural Heritage Program, http://www.cnhp.colostate.edu.

  • Usands in Walton Co., Coming in from the Gulf, Flying in a Northerly Direction, but Only Near the Water
    NEW S Number 3 15 April 1969 of the Lepidopterists' Society Editorial Committee of the NEWS E. J. Newcomer, Editor 1509 Summitview, Yakima, Washington 98902, U. S. A. J. Donald Eff John Heath F. W. Preston H. A. Freeman G. Hesselbarth G. W. Rawson L. Paul Grey L. M. Martin Fred Thorne Richard He itzman Bryant Mather E. C. Welling M. L. D. Miller ANNUAL SUMMARY IN THIS ISSUE ... This Summary is one of the best. All coordinators got their reports to me in good time (March 27, and most of them earlier) and they were well written, which I appreciate very much as I cannot be familiar with conditions allover the area. I was a bit disappointed at the small nu.mber of reports received from my own Zone, only 6. Except of course, for Zones VIII and IX, from 15 to 31 reports came to the Coordinators, with a maximum of 31 for Zone I. The total was 135. -"'--Editor. SUMMARY OF MIGRATION There is more information than usual in this Summary about the migration of Vanessa cardui and Danaus plexippus, hence a summary of this migration is given here: V. cardui., --Migrating towards the NW in mid-March in Sonora, Mexico, but curiously no reports of this species from Arizona, New Mexico or Nevada. Migrating north in Cal if­ ornia, starting in San Diego Co., March 2 and reaching San Francisco Bay area March 27. Appearing in Colo. (Denver and vicinity) in early June. None reported north of these states. In the East, appeared in Missouri March 30 to early May; Iowa, April 10, maximum May 2-5 (see Iowa report for deatils); reached S.

  • Butterflies Depend on Native Plant Diversity
    Butterflies Depend on Native Plant Diversity Many kinds of butterflies have very specific reproductive requirements, laying their eggs only on certain kinds of plants. Those plants then provide food for the butterfly larvae (caterpillars). Listed below are some of the native Texas plants which certain butterfly species require as larval food. If these plants are not present, these butterflies cannot reproduce. Other species of butterflies are not as specific as the ones listed below and may lay their eggs on several different plant species. Landowners and gardeners should always remember that well-managed, diverse plant communities play an essential role in the life cycle of butterflies as well as many other forms of wildlife.
