  • Naturally Kentucky Winter 2007 Number 53
    Naturally Kentucky Winter 2007 Number 53 KSNPC Latest News: 30 years of caring for nature began in 1976. Director Don Dott discusses promoting biodiversity and pursuing KSNPC’s mission in this edition’s lead article (story on page 3). Governor Ernie Fletcher has declared Feb. 25 through March 7, 2007 as Invasive Weed Awareness Week. The week is aimed at getting the word out about the threat that invasive non-native plants pose to our native plants and wildlife. Here are some ideas you can do to preserve Kentucky’s natural heritage: when gardening, use native plants wherever possible; contact your legislator to make them aware of the need for laws limiting the use of weeds that spread to natural areas; volunteer to remove invasive plants from a natural area near you; and prevent the spread of invasive plants by cleaning seeds from your boots after hiking in weed-infested areas. Check KSNPC’s on-line Events Calendar for information about planned activities for the week (www.naturepreserves.ky.gov/events/). Land acquisition projects are well underway at the eastern and western extremes of the Commonwealth and several new properties were enrolled in the Natural Areas Registry program in 2006 (see complete story on page 10). The entire Naturally Kentucky archive has been posted online. View all of our past newsletters by visiting www.naturepreserves.ky.gov/newsroom/newsletters.htm.

  • NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Information Bulletin #2
    Indiana Register NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Information Bulletin #2 (Eighth Amendment) December 1, 2017 SUBJECT: Roster of Indiana Animals, Insects, and Plants that are Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened, or Rare (also described as Special Concern). I. HISTORY The initial roster was published February 1, 1992 (15 IR 848), republished April 1, 1991 (15 IR 1312); and subsequently amended to include additional species and published on February 1, 2005 (28 IR 1581). Since 2005, revisions have been made to several of the endangered species lists. The term "special concern" replaced the references to "rare" as it relates to wild animals and is expanded to include species in a legal status transition. Federal funding is available for species that are endangered or of special concern. In the fourth amendment, posted at 20070815-IR-312070469NRA on August 15, 2007, "rare", "threatened", and "extirpated" classifications for insect species were retained. Classification definitions were added for vascular plant species. In this document, species are reclassified and scientific names were modified. In the fifth amendment, posted at 20120125-IR-312120047NRA on January 25, 2012, the listing for endangered reptiles and amphibians was modified. Notable was removal of the American bald eagle from the endangered species list. Some species removed from the endangered list were redesignated as "special concern". Amendments were made to use scientific names that are consistent with those for species of animals listed in 312 IAC 9. In the sixth amendment, posted at 20140129-IR-312140023NRA on January 29, 2014, the listing for endangered birds, mollusks, insects, and vascular plants was modified. Notable was the removal of the peregrine falcon from the endangered species list.

Hunt, Matthew D. Schlesinger, Jeffrey D. Corser, and Phillip G. deMaynadier. 2014. A conservation status assessment of Odonata for the northeastern United States. New York Natural Heritage Program, Albany, NY. ii Executive Summary Odonates are valuable biological indicators of freshwater ecosystem integrity and climate change. Approximately 18% of odonates in the US are considered rare and vulnerable to extirpation or extinction. Northeastern North America hosts a rich and ancient odonate fauna, especially for a temperate region. Recognition of northeastern North America as both a hotspot of odonate diversity, and a region of historical and growing threats to freshwater ecosystems, highlights the urgency of developing a comprehensive conservation assessment of the Northeast’s resident odonate species. Here, we develop and apply a prioritization framework for 228 species of dragonflies and damselflies occurring in the northeastern US (Virginia to Maine). Specifically, we offer a modified version of NatureServe’s methodology for assessing conservation status ranks by assigning a single, regional vulnerability metric (R-rank) reflecting each species’ degree of relative extinction risk in the northeastern US.
