    Threatened & Endangered Species Iowa Animal ID Guide September 2011 Amphibians Butterflies Fresh Water Mussels Mammals Birds Fish Land Snails Reptiles A special thanks to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for providing content to this guide. Natural Resources Conservation Service Helping People Help the Land www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. How to use the Threatened & Endangered Species Iowa Animal ID Guide: • Endangered species are fish, plant life, or wildlife in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant part of its range. • Threatened species likely become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant part of its range. • Orange color-coded species are Iowa’s endangered animal species. They are listed in alphabetical order by common name. • Blue color-coded species are Iowa’s threatened animal species. They are also listed in alphabetical order by common name. • The scientific name for each species is listed below the common name. • Maps on each page highlight the species range in Iowa. Counties filled with a lighter color are only federally protected, while those with a darker color are both state and federally protected. Categories for each species: Amphibians Fish Mammals Birds Fresh Water Mussels Butterflies Land Snails Reptiles Endangered Animal Species Barn owl Tyto alba Habitat Nests and roosts in dark, secluded places. Often found in old barns and abandoned buildings. Barn owls hunt in grassland habitats along field edges, fence rows, and wetland edges where pray is most available. Appropriate practices • Establish grassland to attract prey (200 acres adjacent to potential barn nesting sites can produce good results).

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program.

Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife . The specimens collected in this study are deposited in the insect collection at the Field Museum .

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term
    POPULATION ECOLOGY Butterfly Migrations in Florida: Seasonal Patterns and Long-Term Changes THOMAS J. WALKER1 Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611Ð0620 Environ. Entomol. 30(6): 1052Ð1060 (2001) ABSTRACT Flight traps at Gainesville, in north-central Florida, operating from 1984 to spring 2000, separated butterßies migrating into the Florida peninsula (SSE Ϯ 90Њ) from those migrating out of the Florida peninsula (NNW Ϯ 90Њ). Five species ßew southward in the fall and northward in the spring: Phoebis sennae (L.), Agraulis vanillae (L.), Junonia coenia (Hu¨ bner), Urbanus proteus (L.), and Eurema lisa (Boisduval & LeConte). Five species had signiÞcant northward ßights in spring but no signiÞcant migration in fall: Pieris rapae (L.), Vanessa virginiensis (Drury), Vanessa atalanta (L.), Eurytides marcellus (Cramer), and Libytheana bachmanii (Kirtland). Danaus plexippus (L.) had a southward ßight in fall but no signiÞcant migration in spring. Eurema daira (Godart) switched from a net movement northward in early fall to a net movement southward in late fall, whereas Eurema nicippe (Cramer) maintained a net movement northward throughout the fall. The major migrants differed signiÞcantly in the seasonal timing and duration of peak migration. When the numbers trapped were greatest, the proportion of those ßying in the migratory direction was greatest. The numbers of spring migrants of A. vanillae increased during the course of the study, whereas both the spring and fall migrations of J. coenia declined. The fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus declined sharply. In 1990Ð1999, the fall migrations of P. sennae and U. proteus averaged only 37 and 15% of what they had averaged in 1984Ð1989.
