    2005 Wildlife Action Plan: Terrestrial Nongame Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles

    APPENDIX D IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES OF CONSERVATION PRIORITY: DETAILED METHODS AND APPROACH 2005 Wildlife Action Plan: Terrestrial Nongame Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles Methods The Species of Conservation Priority identification process began in July, 2002. After initially gathering input from partner land management agency personnel at the field level, a Species Priority Matrix was developed using standard species conservation prioritization methodology (Natural Heritage Scorecard; Panjabi et al. 2001). Nevada Natural Heritage Program Species Scorecard scores were incorporated into the Species Priority Matrix. NDOW Wildlife Diversity biologists were subsequently asked to score all species of nongame birds, mammals, and reptiles using the Species Priority Matrix. The Species Priority Matrix contained the following scoring categories. 1. Endangered, Threatened, or Candidate Species Species with Endangered, Threatened, or Candidate Species status under either federal or state law were given 1 point. Total points possible in this category was 1 – multiple points for having both federal and state status were not given because state statutes are designed to generally reflect federal status. 2. Nevada Natural Heritage Program Score – Inverted Each species was given the inverted score of the Nevada Natural Heritage Program State Rank score; that is, NNHP scores run from 1 (highest risk) to 5 (lowest risk), so it was necessary to invert the score in order for “highest risk” to have the greatest arithmetic weight in the matrix. The conversion scale is illustrated in the following table. NNHP State Rank NV Species Priority Matrix Score 5 1 4 2 3 3 2 4 1 5 3. Threat The biologists were asked to assign scores to each species representing their perception of the degree of threat facing the species.

(Junonia coenia on Helianthus annuus) important ecological but threatened riparian landscapes (Provencher et al. 2005). Not only does the Warm Springs Natural Area encompass the majority of Muddy River tributaries it is also the largest single tract of land in the upper Muddy River set aside for the benefit of native species in perpetuity. The prominence of water in an otherwise barren Mojave landscape provides an oasis for regional wildlife. A high bird diversity is attributed to an abundance of riparian and floodplain trees and shrubs. Contributions to plant diversity come from the Mojave Old World swallowtail (Papilio machaon) Desertsnow (Linanthus demissus) Lobe-leaved Phacelia (Phacelia crenulata) Cryptantha (Cryptantha sp.) vegetation that occur on the toe slopes of the Arrow Canyon Range from the west and the plant species occupying the floodplain where they are supported by a high water table. Several marshes and wet meadows add to the diversity of plants and animals. The thermal springs and tributaries host an abundance of aquatic species, many of which are endemic. The WSNA provides a haven for the abundant wildlife that resides permanently or seasonally and provides a significant level of protection for imperiled species.
