    West Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel (WVNFS), Glauconzys Sabrinus Fuscus Five Year Status Review Appendix B — Capture Site Summaries

    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — West Virginia Field Office West Virginia northern flying squirrel (WVNFS), Glauconzys sabrinus fuscus Five Year Status Review Appendix B — Capture Site Summaries Attached are the summaries for the 105 West Virginia northern flying squirrel (WVNFS), G.s. fuscus, capture sites l in West Virginia. Although biologists occasionally use live-trapping, nest boxes have been the primary tool for population surveys for the WVNFS. Biologists place transects of nest boxes in a survey area and check the boxes periodically for occupancy, typically twice each year, in fall and spring. Northern flying squirrels are nocturnal, leaving their nests to forage at night and returning during the day, which facilitates daytime nest box monitoring. The success of nest box monitoring relies on the squirrels occupying the boxes during the day of the survey. Menzel (2003) found that no WVNFS in her radio telemetry study used nest boxes (despite their availability) as den sites. All nests were either natural tree cavities (i.e. dens) or dreys (i.e. outside nests constructed of leaves, twigs, lichens, etc.). She also noted WVNFS used multiple den sites, switching nests on average every 3 days in summer, and utilizing up to 12 den sites per month in lesser quality habitat (Menzel 2000, Menzel et al. 2004). Further, the nest box monitoring program conducted by the DNR had a 2% average success rate of squirrel occupancy per box checked. These data confirm the difficulty of capturing squirrels via nest boxes and caution against relying on nest box survey results to determine occupied habitat, i.e., although a captured individual affirms presence, an empty nest box does not necessarily signify absence or unoccupied habitat.

Ewing, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Division of Inland Fisheries, 1721 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 Abstract: The New River crayfish, (Cambarus chasmodactylus), was described in 1966 from the East Fork of the Greenbrier River, West Virginia, and historically occurred throughout the New River Basin from the Greenbrier River sub-basin in West Virginia, upstream through Virginia, and into the headwaters of the South Fork New River in North Carolina. The New River crayfish was part of a federal listing species petition in 2010 and it is cur- rently being evaluated for listing as either threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Act. In order to understand the current distribution and status of this species, a range-wide assessment was undertaken by various organizations and agencies in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. Biological information was summarized, including species description, habitat use, life history, and current distribution. All historical and recent collections were compared and spatially displayed using GIS software. The New River crayfish was collected in three 8-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) and 14 counties in three states, with the majority of occurrences in the Upper New and Greenbrier River sub-basins.

Canopy species commonly include yellow buckeye, sugar maple, white ash, basswood, tuliptree, cucumber tree, and American beech, sometimes in a single stand. Hemlock is sometimes present, mostly in acidic coves. Shrub and herb layers are similarly rich, and calcium-bearing and circumneutral bedrock tends to support the richest examples. This forest is typical of sheltered, shady places in the Blue Ridge and central Appalachian Mountains, forming large patches (tens to hundreds of acres) on concave slopes that accumulate nutrients and moisture.

    Memorandum of Understanding for the Conservation of the Red Spruce-Northern Hardwood Ecosystem

    MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE RED SPRUCE-NORTHERN HARDWOOD ECOSYSTEM This Memorandum of Understanding regarding the conservation of the red spruce-northern hardwood ecosystem (MOU) is made and entered into on this 2nd day of January, 2007, by and among the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (West Virginia Field Office and Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge); U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (Monongahela National Forest and Northern Research Station); State of West Virginia (Division of Natural Resources and Division of Forestry); and The Nature Conservancy. These entities comprise and are hereinafter referred to jointly as the "Coordinating Team," with reference to this MOU. Other entities may choose to participate in implementation of this MOU in the future and shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Cooperators" in this MOU. The Coordinating Team and the Cooperators comprise and are hereinafter referred to jointly as the "Parties" to this MOU. A. PURPOSE The purpose of this MOU is to establish a broad strategic framework and responsibilities for collaboration by and among the Parties for the long-term conservation of the red spruce-northern hardwood ecosystem in the states of West Virginia and Virginia. The Parties recognize that collaboration, the integration of multiple objectives, and effective partnerships between public, private, and nonprofit organizations are essential to restoring and sustaining this ecosystem. B. VISION The Parties envision a functioning red spruce-northern hardwood forest ecosystem, restored across portions of its former range on both public and private lands, with the scale, connectivity, maturity and other features that provide functional habitat to sustain and enhance the viability of the West Virginia northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) and the many other species and communities dependent on this ecosystem (See Exhibit 1).
