Discussion: Churchill County Social Services, Civil District Attorney's Office and the Tenth Judicial District Court have partnered to develop a CASA Program of Churchill County and obtain grant funding for implementation and ongoing operations. In January 2014 the National CASA accepted the letter of intent for development ofthe program and a grant totaling $70,066 was submitted to the Community Development Block Grant Program to assist the court youth dependents advocacy. As of February 2014 Provisional Membership has been obtained and the committee is working to submit the full membership application to the National CASA. The Court Improvement Committee met and a guest from the State program was present. During that meeting the committee was invited to submit an application to the State for additional funding to assist in the implementation of the program. The application has been drafted and is attached. At this time we would like to proceed in submittal and only accept the funds, to be utilized as match, if full funding is obtained to implement the program.

  • Desert Aquatic Ecosystems and the Genetic and Morphological Diversity of Death Valley System Speckled Dace
    American Fisheries Society Symposium 17:350-359, 1995 © Copyright by the American Fisheries Society 1995 Desert Aquatic Ecosystems and the Genetic and Morphological Diversity of Death Valley System Speckled Dace DONALD W. SADA Environmental Studies Program, University of Nevada-Las Vegas 2689 Highland Drive, Bishop, California 93514, USA HUGH B. BRITTEN AND PETER F. BRUSSARD Biodiversity Research Center, Department of Biology, University of Nevada Reno, Nevada 89557-0015, USA Abstract.—The morphological and genetic diversities of fishes in North American deserts have been examined to estimate evolutionary rates, to create models of interbasin pluvial connectivity, and to justify protection of aquatic ecosystems throughout the region. Morphological and genetic studies comparing 13 populations of speckled dace Rhinichthys osculus from the Death Valley system, Lahontan basin, and lower Colorado River were conducted to quantify differences among populations. Differences in meristic and mensural characteristics among populations were highly significant, but differences in body shape were slight and best explained as representing two forms, one deep-bodied and short, the other elongate and slender. Starch gel electrophoretic assays of 23 loci showed isolated populations to be genetically unique. Fifty-nine taxa are identified as endemic to wetland and aquatic habitats in the Death Valley system: 16 forms of fish, 1 amphibian, 22 mollusks, 7 aquatic insects, 3 mammals, and 10 forms of flowering plants. Genetic and morphological differentiation of isolated speckled dace populations and the diversity and number of endemic forms associated with wetlands and aquatic habitats in the Death Valley system suggest that each desert wetland community functions as an evolutionarily significant unit.

  • Gastropoda: Hydrobiidae) of Ash Meadows, Amargosa Basin, California-Nevada
    31 December 1987 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 100(4), 1987, pp. 776-843 SPRINGSNAILS (GASTROPODA: HYDROBIIDAE) OF ASH MEADOWS, AMARGOSA BASIN, CALIFORNIA-NEVADA Robert Hershler and Donald W. Sada Abstract. —Aquatic snails of the family Hydrobiidae were sampled from nu- merous springs in Ash Meadows, California-Nevada, during 1985-1986. The fauna of this lush oasis is represented by at least three lineages and composed of 11 species in two genera, Pyrgulopsis Call and Pilsbry, 1886 and Tryonia Stimpson, 1865. Nine species are described herein as new. Nine species are locally endemic (three are restricted to single springs), while the remaining two are restricted to Amargosa River drainage. Pyrgulopsis species are well-differ- entiated in shell and anatomical features (mostly penial morphology), whereas Tryonia species show marked variation only in the former. Stepwise discriminant analyses were done using shell morphometric data from three separate species groups in Ash Meadows. Separate analyses were done using standard measurements and Raupian parameters as a local test of their effectiveness in discriminating between closely related forms. Classifica- tion was uniformly high (86-93%) when the former data set was used, sup- porting taxonomy presented herein. Raupian parameters produced less suc- cessful classifications (48-71%), probably due to absence of shape diversity among similar-shelled members of species groups considered. Ash Meadows springsnails parallel local fishes in having affinities with taxa from the Death Valley System and Colorado River drainages. Distributional evidence suggests that local differentiation of snails has primarily occurred within narrow ranges of altitude, in contrast to patterns documented for local fishes. Gill-breathing springsnails (Gastropoda: the region's well studied ichthyofauna (see Hydrobiidae) inhabiting the series of inter- Miller 1948, Soltz and Naiman 1978, montane valleys that constitute the Death Minckley et al.

  • The 2021 FMCS Checklist of 729 Freshwater Gastropods from Canada and the United States
    The 2021 FMCS checklist of 729 freshwater gastropods from Canada and the United States. Column headings are taxon (binomen) and species author(s), and AFS common names (Classification Uncertain denotes uncertain taxonomic status under common names), Family names are followed by the number of genera and species (or monotypic). Species names denoted in BLUE LETTERS signify petition changes completed in 2019. Species names denoted in RED LETTERS signify petitioned changes completed in 2021. The goal of the FMCS Names Subcommittee is to improve science communication, provide up-to- date authoritative checklists and promote freshwater mollusk systematics research. Stakeholders are under no obligation to follow the taxonomic opinions expressed in this list.
