  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Defining Conservation Priorities for Freshwater Fishes According To

STRECKER, JULIAN D. OLDEN, JOANNA B. WHITTIER, AND CRAIG P. PAUKERT 1School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98105 USA 2Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211 USA 3U.S. Geological Survey, Missouri Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211 USA Abstract. To date, the predominant use of systematic conservation planning has been to evaluate and conserve areas of high terrestrial biodiversity. Although studies in freshwater ecosystems have received recent attention, research has rarely considered the potential trade- offs between protecting different dimensions of biodiversity and the ecological processes that maintain diversity. We provide the first systematic prioritization for freshwaters (focusing on the highly threatened and globally distinct fish fauna of the Lower Colorado River Basin, USA) simultaneously considering scenarios of: taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity; contemporary threats to biodiversity (including interactions with nonnative species); and future climate change and human population growth. There was 75% congruence between areas of highest conservation priority for different aspects of biodiversity, suggesting that conservation efforts can concurrently achieve strong complementarity among all types of diversity. However, sizable fractions of the landscape were incongruent across conservation priorities for different diversity scenarios, underscoring the importance of considering multiple dimensions of biodiversity and highlighting catchments that contribute disproportionately to taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity in the region.

Lee Lyman1 ABSTRACT.—Five implications of a biogeographic model of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in eastern Washing- ton proposed in 1991 are confirmed by 11 new late-Quaternary records. Pygmy rabbits from eastern Oregon colonized eastern Washington during the late Pleistocene and occupied their largest range during the middle and late Holocene. Disjunction of the eastern Washington population from that in eastern Oregon occurred during at least the late Holo- cene. Nineteenth-century cattle grazing and 20th-century agricultural practices reduced habitat preferred by pygmy rabbits. Conservation of the small remaining population of pygmy rabbits will necessitate altered land use practices. Key words: agriculture, biogeography, Brachylagus idahoensis, conservation, grazing, pygmy rabbit, Washington. Populations of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus MATERIALS AND METHODS idahoensis) in eastern Washington are isolated from conspecific populations in southeastern Records reported by Lyman (1991) were Oregon, Nevada, and portions of adjacent states reviewed, and documents that appeared since (Fig.

BLM, in coordination with the Service, determined that implementation of activities associated with at least one program may result in adverse effects to the five species identified above (Table 1). The effects determination in Table 1 changed from the effects determination identified in the BA as a result of discussions of the proposed action between BLM and Service.

ABSTRACT: Human activities, primarily the global movement of organisms associated with ocean-going vessels and with commercial fishery products, have lead to the redistribution of a vast number of marine organisms over the past five centuries. Most biological surveys postdated these transport events, so the distribution of many of these now cosmopolitan species has been interpreted as the result of natural processes, leading to underestimates of the role of humans in altering patterns of natural diversity and distribution of marine organisms along the coastal margins of the world.

Population declines prompted the development of a multi - state conservation agreement and strategy, which emphasized the need to reliably delineate its current distribution and monitor its status. To facilitate species monitoring, we developed a quantitative PCR assay to detect northern leatherside chub DNA in environmental samples. The assay consistently detected northern leatherside chub DNA in concentra - tions as low as 2 copies per reaction and did not amplify DNA of potentially sympatric fish species. The assay amplified a synthetic DNA template representing 3 congeneric species: White River spinedace ( L. albivallis ), Virgin spinedace, (L. mollispinis mollispinis ), and Big Spring spinedace, ( L. m. pratensis ); however, none of these are sympatric with northern leatherside chub. Field tests of the assay accurately reproduced expected patterns of species occupancy. RESUMEN .— La especie Lepidomeda copei es un pez ciprínido nativo de las cuencas del Río Snake, Río Green y del Lago Bonneville del oeste de los Estados Unidos.

Growth was initially quite good but they did not survive, perhaps because they were fished out or possibly they could not reproduce because of a lack of suitable habitat.” According to Fuller and Neilson (2019), nonindigenous occurrences of Micropterus salmoides have been reported in the following States, with range of years and hydrologic units in parentheses: Alaska (2018; Anchorage) Arizona (1880-2013; Aqua Fria, Big Chino-Williamson Valley,

It has been shown that Post-Pleistocene isolation of desert fishes in small habitats with limited predation pressure has led to loss of antipredator traits. Determining the status of antipredator behavioral and morphological traits could identify the most vulnerable desert fishes. In aquatic ecosystems, detection and response to chemical alarm cues derived from epithelial tissue increases the probability of predation survival. In chapter two, I evaluate alarm cue responses of two desert cyprinodontids: endangered Pahrump poolfish and Amargosa pupfish. In chapter three, I assess the prevalence and densities of epithelial club cells, the source of chemical alarm cues, for several desert fishes: Pahrump poolfish, Amargosa pupfish, White Sands pupfish, White River Springfish, and Hot Creek Valley tui chub.
