  • A Vegetation Map of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico 1

    A Vegetation Map of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico 1

    ______________________________________________________________________________ A Vegetation Map of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico ______________________________________________________________________________ 2003 A Vegetation Map of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico 1 Esteban Muldavin, Paul Neville, Paul Arbetan, Yvonne Chauvin, Amanda Browder, and Teri Neville2 ABSTRACT A vegetation classification and high resolution vegetation map was developed for Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico to support natural resources management, particularly fire management and rare species habitat analysis. The classification and map were based on 400 field plots collected between 1999 and 2002. The vegetation communities of Carlsbad Caverns NP are diverse. They range from desert shrublands and semi-grasslands of the lowland basins and foothills up through montane grasslands, shrublands, and woodlands of the highest elevations. Using various multivariate statistical tools, we identified 85 plant associations for the park, many of them unique in the Southwest. The vegetation map was developed using a combination of automated digital processing (supervised classifications) and direct image interpretation of high-resolution satellite imagery (Landsat Thematic Mapper and IKONOS). The map is composed of 34 map units derived from the vegetation classification, and is designed to facilitate ecologically based natural resources management at a 1:24,000 scale with 0.5 ha minimum map unit size (NPS national standard). Along with an overview of the vegetation ecology of the park in the context of the classification, descriptions of the composition and distribution of each map unit are provided. The map was delivered both in hard copy and in digital form as part of a geographic information system (GIS) compatible with that used in the park.

    Phylogeny, Diversity, and Ecology of the Ammonoid Superfamily Acanthoceratoidea Through the Cenomanian and Turonian

    PHYLOGENY, DIVERSITY, AND ECOLOGY OF THE AMMONOID SUPERFAMILY ACANTHOCERATOIDEA THROUGH THE CENOMANIAN AND TURONIAN DAVID A.A. MERTZ A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE August 2017 Committee: Margaret Yacobucci, Advisor Andrew Gregory Keith Mann © 2017 David Mertz All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Margaret Yacobucci Both increased extinction and decreased origination, caused by rising oceanic anoxia and decreased provincialism, respectively, have been proposed as the cause of the Cenomanian Turonian (C/T) extinction event for ammonoids. Conflicting evidence exists for whether diversity actually dropped across the C/T. This study used the ammonoid superfamily Acanthoceratoidea as a proxy for ammonoids as a whole, particularly focusing on genera found in the Western Interior Seaway (WIS) of North America, including Texas. Ultimately, this study set out to determine 1) whether standing diversity decreased across the C/T boundary in the WIS, 2) whether decreased speciation or increased extinction in ammonoids led to a drop in diversity in the C/T extinction event, 3) how ecology of acanthoceratoid genera changed in relation to the C/T extinction event, and 4) whether these ecological changes indicate rising anoxia as the cause of the extinction. In answering these questions, three phylogenetic analyses were run that recovered the families Acanthoceratidae, Collignoniceratidae, and Vascoceratidae. Pseudotissotiidae was not recovered at all, while Coilopoceratidae was recovered but reclassified as a subfamily of Vascoceratidae. Seven genera were reclassified into new families and one genus into a new subfamily. After calibrating the trees with stratigraphy, I was able to determine that standing diversity dropped modestly across the C/T boundary and the Early/Middle Turonian boundary.

    Cenomanian Invertebrate Assemblage from the Dakota Sandstone Near Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Spencer G

    Cenomanian invertebrate assemblage from the Dakota Sandstone near Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Spencer G. Lucas and Larry F. Rinehart, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 1801 Mountain Road NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87104, [email protected]; Shari Kelley, New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, New Mexico 87801 Abstract A small assemblage of invertebrate fossils from the Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone at Arroyo del Yeso near Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, is the first age-diagnostic fossil assemblage documented from the inter- tongued Dakota–Mancos succession in the Chama Basin. The fossils are assigned to the bivalves Legumen sp., Exogyra sp., Inoceramus arvanus Stephenson, and I. prefragilis Stephen- son and the ammonite cf. Acanthoceras amphi- bolum Morrow. They indicate the Acanthoceras amphibolum Zone of middle Cenomanian age and support lithostratigraphic identification of the fossil-bearing strata as the Paguate Sandstone Tongue of the Dakota Sandstone. Introduction Newberry (1876) first identified Cretaceous strata in the Chama Basin of northern New Mexico, and many subsequent workers in the Chama Basin (e.g., Dane 1960; McPeek 1965; Landis and Dane 1967; Landis et al. 1973; Grant and Owen 1974; Saucier 1974) have recognized the Dakota Sandstone as an approximately 30–60-m-thick sandstone- dominated interval at or near the base of the Cretaceous section. The most recent synthe- sis of Dakota Sandstone stratigraphy in the Chama Basin (Owen et al. 2005) identified formal units of the intertongued Dakota– Mancos succession that were first identified to the south, in west-central New Mexico.

Your request for formal consultation was dated April 19, 2002, and received by us on April 23, 2002. At issue are impacts that may result from the proposed reauthorization of livestock grazing on the Sentinel, Cameron, Childs, Coyote Flat, and Why allotments located in Maricopa and Pima counties, Arizona. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined that the proposed action for the five allotments may adversely affect the endangered Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis), and the proposed action for the Cameron and Childs allotments may adversely affect the endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum). In your letter, you also requested our concurrence that the proposed action on the Cameron, Childs, Coyote Flat, and Why allotments may affect, but will not likely adversely affect, the endangered lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuena). We concur with that determination, which is based on sound analysis and guidance criteria for the species mutually agreed upon by our agencies.

    CHAPTER I I I Sistematic DESCRIPTION

    CHAPTER III SiSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION CIUPTER III systematic description Section I : Mortonlceratinae Introduction : The ammonoid species described by Stoliczka under the group of Ammonites crlstatl were sub­ divided by him into species 1, Ammonites blanfordianus, 2, Ammonites inflatus, condollianus. ootatoorensis and corruptus, 3, Amnionites propinquus. 4. Ammonites obesus, 5. Ammonites se rratocarlnatus. 6, Ammonite s subtricarinatus. These were transferred by later workers e.g. Kossmat to Schloenbachia and its subgenera as : Schloenbachla (Tropitoldes) . S. (Prlnotropis) . S. (Peroniceras). S, (Munerlceras) etc. According to present ideas the above mentioned species have undergone further transfers and except those of the Inflata group, are placed under different subfamilies, viz. Peroniceratlnae, Mune rice rat inae, etc. These species are, therefore, not considered under the present section; but those of the Inflata group which are now found to belong to the sub­ family Mortonlceratinae are dealt with here. The species which represent this subfamily in the present collection, viz. Mortoniceras (Mortoniceras) inflatum (Sow.); M. (M.) rostratum (Sow.), Mortonioeras (Peiradoceras) indicum spo nov., M. (Purnovarites) perinflatum Spath., M. (p.) - 17 - - 18 - subquadratum Spath, M. (d .) sp. Indet; ?Mortonicera8 (?Mortoniceras) deshpandel sp, nov., Prohysteroceras (Goodhallltes) stoliczkal sp. nov. are dealt with here., Of these eight species Mortonlceras (Mortonlceras) inflatum was described by Stoliczka and Kossmat from these rocks. Three species viz. Mortoniceras (M.) rostratum (Sow.), M. (Durnovarites) perlnflatum Spath., M. (D .) subquadratum Spath. are species already known and are recorded from outside South Indian basin; they are now recorded here for the first time. The remaining species described here are new to science. The subfamily Mortoniceratinae has an interesting history, being used in the first instance by Spath (1925) to comprise species of texanum group of Senonian.
