Weekers,a,* Gopal Murugan,a,1 Jacques R. Vanfleteren,a Denton Belk,b and Henri J. Dumonta a Department of Biology, Ghent University, Ledeganckstraat 35, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium b Biology Department, Our Lady of the Lake University of San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78207, USA Received 20 February 2001; received in revised form 18 June 2002 Abstract The nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) of 27 anostracans (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) belonging to 14 genera and eight out of nine traditionally recognized families has been sequenced and used for phylogenetic analysis. The 18S rDNA phylogeny shows that the anostracans are monophyletic. The taxa under examination form two clades of subordinal level and eight clades of family level. Two families the Polyartemiidae and Linderiellidae are suppressed and merged with the Chirocephalidae, of which together they form a subfamily. In contrast, the Parartemiinae are removed from the Branchipodidae, raised to family level (Parartemiidae) and cluster as a sister group to the Artemiidae in a clade defined here as the Artemiina (new suborder). A number of morphological traits support this new suborder. The Branchipodidae are separated into two families, the Branchipodidae and Ta- nymastigidae (new family). The relationship between Dendrocephalus and Thamnocephalus requires further study and needs the addition of Branchinella sequences to decide whether the Thamnocephalidae are monophyletic. Surprisingly, Polyartemiella hazeni and Polyartemia forcipata (‘‘Family’’ Polyartemiidae), with 17 and 19 thoracic segments and pairs of trunk limb as opposed to all other anostracans with only 11 pairs, do not cluster but are separated by Linderiella santarosae (‘‘Family’’ Linderiellidae), which has 11 pairs of trunk limbs.

  • Legenere Limosa (Legenere)
    7. LEGENERE LIMOSA (LEGENERE) a. Description and Taxonomy Taxonomy.—Greene (1890) originally published the scientific name Howellia limosa for legenere. He gave the type locality only as “the lower Sacramento” (Greene 1890:81). Based on label information from Greene’s collections, the type locality has been further described as “Fields of the lower Sacramento Valley near Elmira, Solano County, California” (McVaugh 1943:14). McVaugh (1943) determined that this species differed sufficiently from Howellia to be transferred to a new genus, Legenere. Thus, the currently accepted name for this species is Legenere limosa. Legenere is the only species in its genus (Morin 1993), which is in the bellflower family (Campanulaceae). Another common name for this species is Greene’s legenere (Morin and Niehaus 1977, Holland 1984). Description and Identification.—Legenere limosa is an inconspicuous annual. The entire plant is hairless. The main stems are 10 to 30 centimeters (3.9 to 11.8 inches) long and decumbent, although any branches are erect. Extra roots often arise from the lower nodes. The leaves, which are produced underwater, are 1 to 3 centimeters (0.4 to 1.2 inches) long and narrowly triangular; they fall off the plant before flowers appear. The egg-shaped or oval bracts are 6 to 12 millimeters (0.24 to 0.47 inch) long and remain throughout the flowering period. A single flower arises above each bract. Legenere limosa flowers may or may not have corollas, and a single plant can produce both types of flowers. When present, the corollas are white or yellowish, 3.5 to 4 millimeters (0.14 to 0.16 inch) long, and two-lipped.

  • VERNAL POOL TADPOLE SHRIMP Lepidurus Packardi
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish & Wildlife Office Species Account VERNAL POOL TADPOLE SHRIMP Lepidurus packardi CLASSIFICATION: Endangered Federal Register 59-48136; September 19, 1994 http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/federal_register/fr2692.pdf On October 9, 2007, we published a 5-year review recommending that the species remain listed as endangered. CRITICAL HABITAT: Designated Originally designated in Federal Register 68:46683; August 6, 2003. The designation was revised in FR 70:46923; August 11, 2005. Species by unit designations were published in FR 71:7117 (PDF), February 10, 2006. RECOVERY PLAN: Final Recovery Plan for Vernal Pool Ecosystems of California and Southern Oregon, December 15, 2005. http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/recovery_plan/060614.pdf DESCRIPTION The vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi) is a small crustacean in the Triopsidae family. It has compound eyes, a large shield-like carapace (shell) that covers most of the body, and a pair of long cercopods (appendages) at the end of the last abdominal segment. Vernal pool tadpole shrimp adults reach a length of 2 inches in length. They have about 35 pairs of legs and two long cercopods. This species superficially resembles the rice field tadpole shrimp (Triops longicaudatus). Tadpole shrimp climb or scramble over objects, as well as plowing along or within bottom sediments. Their diet consists of organic debris and living organisms, such as fairy shrimp and other invertebrates. This animal inhabits vernal pools containing clear to highly turbid water, ranging in size from 54 square feet in the former Mather Air Force Base area of Sacramento County, to the 89-acre Olcott Lake at Jepson Prairie.

    Herpetofauna and Aquatic Macro-invertebrate Use of the Kino Environmental Restoration Project (KERP) Tucson, Pima County, Arizona Prepared for Pima County Regional Flood Control District Prepared by EPG, Inc. JANUARY 2007 - Plma County Regional FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT MEMORANDUM Water Resources Regional Flood Control District DATE: January 5,2007 TO: Distribution FROM: Julia Fonseca SUBJECT: Kino Ecosystem Restoration Project Report The Ed Pastor Environmental Restoration ProjectiKino Ecosystem Restoration Project (KERP) is becoming an extraordinary urban wildlife resource. As such, the Pima County Regional Flood Control District (PCRFCD) contracted with the Environmental Planning Group (EPG) to gather observations of reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic insects at KERP. Water quality was also examined. The purpose of the work was to provide baseline data on current wildlife use of the KERP site, and to assess water quality for post-project aquatic wildlife conditions. I additionally requested sampling of macroinvertebrates at Agua Caliente Park and Sweetwater Wetlands in hopes that the differences in aquatic wildlife among the three sites might provide insights into the different habitats offered by KERF'. The results One of the most important wildlife benefits that KERP provides is aquatic habitat without predatory bullfrogs and non- native fish. Most other constructed ponds and wetlands in Tucson, such as the Sweetwater Wetlands and Agua Caliente pond, are fuIl of non-native predators which devastate native fish, amphibians and aquatic reptiles. The KERP Wetlands may provide an opportunity for reestablishing declining native herpetofauna. Provided that non- native fish, bullfrogs or crayfish are not introduced, KERP appears to provide adequate habitat for Sonoran Mud Turtles (Kinosternon sonoriense), Lowland Leopard Frogs (Rana yavapaiensis), and Mexican Gartersnakes (Tharnnophis eques) and Southwestern Woodhouse Toad (Bufo woodhousii australis).

  • Site Locations and Description
    April 29, 2019 11719 Amy Newby Director, Parks & Recreation City of San Carlos 600 Elm Street San Carlos, California 94070 Subject: Biological Resources Constraints Assessment for the City of San Carlos Fuel Management Project, San Carlos, San Mateo County, California Dear Ms. Newby: At the request of the City of San Carlos, Dudek conducted a biological constraints assessment for the proposed Fuel Management Project (project) that includes four distinct public parks in the City of San Carlos, San Mateo County, California: Big Canyon Park, Crestview Park, Eaton Park, and Highlands Park (Figures 1 and 2). The currently proposed project would entail a series of vegetation management activities that will abate hazardous vegetation in the four city parks. These parks are largely undeveloped with walking trails that intersect the landscape. Specific goals of the vegetation management project include the following: (1) conduct targeted fuel reduction treatments using hand crews, masticators, track chippers, herbicides, and herbivory to reduce highly combustible underbrush and chaparral within the defensible space zone of adjacent private ownerships, (2) create strategic fuel breaks using hand crews, masticators, track chippers, and herbivory to reduce highly combustible underbrush and chaparral along access roads and ridgelines, and (3) remove dead/diseased and non-native trees as part of a comprehensive fuel reduction effort. As part of the assessment, a reconnaissance-level field survey was conducted to identify and characterize existing biological conditions within the project site including the nature and extent of both common and sensitive natural vegetation communities, wetlands and other aquatic features potentially under the jurisdiction of state and federal resource agencies, and the potential for special-status plant and animal species to occur.

  • 3.10 Biological Resources
    3.10 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.10.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Gold mining activities that consisted of dredging alluvial deposits occurred on the project site from historic times through 1962. The dredging operations significantly altered the natural landscape of the site by creating massive piles of tailings that cover extensive portions of the site. These piles resulted in the creation of basins in between tailings that filled with water because of their low-lying locations on the landscape and because of mining-related manipulation of the site’s surface water and groundwater supplies. Further alterations to the natural landscape occurred when the site was used for development and testing of rocket engines. In recent years, large portions of the project site have been used mainly for grazing of livestock (horses and cattle). Reconnaissance-level surveys of the project site were conducted by EDAW biologists on December 13, 2004, and January 12 and 13, 2005. These surveys consisted of walking meandering transects throughout the project site. The purpose of the surveys was to characterize and map biological resources present on the project site in sufficient detail to support a determination of overall habitat quality. To provide a thorough characterization of the habitat types present, data were collected at 35 representative sampling points at the project site. Each habitat type present at the project site, as determined using aerial photographs, included at least one sampling point. At each sampling point the biologists surveyed an area within
