Although most travertine deposits form a cement-like layer on stream sub- strates, mineral deposits can also form on benthic invertebrates.

  • List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017
    Washington Natural Heritage Program List of Animal Species with Ranks October 2017 The following list of animals known from Washington is complete for resident and transient vertebrates and several groups of invertebrates, including odonates, branchipods, tiger beetles, butterflies, gastropods, freshwater bivalves and bumble bees. Some species from other groups are included, especially where there are conservation concerns. Among these are the Palouse giant earthworm, a few moths and some of our mayflies and grasshoppers. Currently 857 vertebrate and 1,100 invertebrate taxa are included. Conservation status, in the form of range-wide, national and state ranks are assigned to each taxon. Information on species range and distribution, number of individuals, population trends and threats is collected into a ranking form, analyzed, and used to assign ranks. Ranks are updated periodically, as new information is collected. We welcome new information for any species on our list.

  • Currently Ecdyonurus Venosus; Insecta, Ephemeroptera): Proposed Conservation of Usage by Designation of a Neotype for Ephemera Venosa
    Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 69(4) December 2012 1 Case 3594 Ecdyonurus Eaton, 1868 and Ephemera venosa Fabricius, 1775 (currently Ecdyonurus venosus; Insecta, Ephemeroptera): proposed conservation of usage by designation of a neotype for Ephemera venosa Ernst Bauernfeind c/o Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Burgring 7, A-1010 Wien, Austria (e-mail: [email protected]) Arne Haybach An den Mühlwegen 23, D-55129 Mainz, Germany (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Articles 75.6 and 81 of the Code, is to conserve the prevailing usage of the generic name Ecdyonurus Eaton, 1868 and the specific name Ecdyonurus venosus (Fabricius, 1775), by setting aside the existing name-bearing type of Ecdyonurus venosus and designating a neotype. The existing name-bearing type of E. venosus, type species of Ecdyonurus Eaton, 1868, is not in accord with the current use of the name Ecdyonurus venosus sensu auct. Keywords: Nomenclature; taxonomy; Insecta, Ephemeroptera; HEPTAGENIIDAE; Ecdyonurus; Ecdyonurus venosus; mayflies. 1. Ephemera venosa Fabricius, 1775 is the type species of the mayfly genus Ecdyonurus Eaton, 1868, family HEPTAGENIIDAE, by original designation. Since Kimmins’s (1942) redescription of Ecdyonurus venosus subsequent authors have universally used the name Ecdyonurus venosus (Fabricius, 1775) in this sense in hundreds of scientific papers. 2. Fabricius (1775, p. 304) briefly described the species Ephemera venosa (in the imaginal stage), indicating as the type locality the habitat of Ephemera venosa: ‘Habitat in Daniae paludosis’ [= living in Danish marshlands]. 3. Subsequently Gmelin (1790, p. 2629) identified this species with the description and plate of de Geer’s (1771, pp.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

Males formed mating aggregations (swarms) ranging from a few to hundreds of individuals, 1–4 m Keywords Body size · Large male advantage · above the ground for about 1.5–2 h in the early morning. Mayfly swarms · Size-assortative mating · Females that flew near swarms were grabbed by males, Stabilizing selection pairs dropped to the vegetation where they mated and then flew off individually. Some marked males returned to swarms 1, 2 or 3 days after marking. Larger males Introduction swarmed near spruce trees at the edges of meadows, but the probability of copulating was not a function of male It is often assumed that larger individuals of a species body size (no large male advantage).

  • Impacts of Pesticides on Freshwater Ecosystems Ralf B
    Ecological Impacts of Toxic Chemicals, 2011, 111-137 111 CHAPTER 6 Impacts of Pesticides on Freshwater Ecosystems Ralf B. Schäfer1,*, Paul J. van den Brink2,3 and Matthias Liess4 1RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia; 2Alterra - Wageningen University and Research Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands; 3Department of Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands and 4UFZ – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Leipzig, Germany Abstract: Pesticides can enter surface waters via different routes, among which runoff driven by precipitation or irrigation is the most important in terms of peak concentrations. The exposure can cause direct effects on all levels of biological organisation, while the toxicant mode of action largely determines which group of organisms (primary producers, microorganisms, invertebrates or fish) is affected. Due to the interconnectedness of freshwater communities, direct effects can entail several indirect effects that are categorised and discussed. The duration of effects depends on the recovery potential of the affected organisms, which is determined by several key factors. Long-term effects of pesticides have been shown to occur in the field. However, the extent of the effects is currently uncertain, mainly because of a lack of large-scale data on pesticide peak concentrations. In the final section, we elucidate the different approaches to predict effects of pesticides on freshwater ecosystems. Various techniques and approaches from the individual level to the ecosystem level are available. When used complementary they allow for a relatively accurate prediction of effects on a broad scale, though the predictive strength is rather limited when it comes to the local scale. Further advances in the risk assessment of pesticides require the incorporation and extension of ecological knowledge.
