Location of work: Santa Rosa Plain, Sonoma County, California 2. Background: Burke’s goldfield (Lasthenia burkei), a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is known only from southern portions of Lake and Mendocino counties and from northeastern Sonoma County. Historically, 39 populations were known from the Santa Rosa Plain, two sites in Lake County, and one site in Mendocino County. The occurrence in Mendocino County is most likely extirpated. From north to south on the Santa Rosa Plain, the species ranges from north of the community of Windsor to east of the city of Sebastopol. The long-term viability of many populations of Burke’s goldfields is particularly problematic due to population decline. There are currently 20 known extant populations, a subset of which were inoculated into pools at constructed sites to mitigate the loss of natural populations in the context of development.

  • Pollinators in Peril: a Systematic Status Review of North American
    POLLINATORS in Peril A systematic status review of North American and Hawaiian native bees Kelsey Kopec & Lori Ann Burd • Center for Biological Diversity • February 2017 Executive Summary hile the decline of European honeybees in the United States and beyond has been well publicized in recent years, the more than 4,000 species of native bees in North W America and Hawaii have been much less documented. Although these native bees are not as well known as honeybees, they play a vital role in functioning ecosystems and also provide more than $3 billion dollars in fruit-pollination services each year just in the United States. For this first-of-its-kind analysis, the Center for Biological Diversity conducted a systematic review of the status of all 4,337 North American and Hawaiian native bees. Our key findings: • Among native bee species with sufficient data to assess (1,437), more than half (749) are declining. • Nearly 1 in 4 (347 native bee species) is imperiled and at increasing risk of extinction. • For many of the bee species lacking sufficient population data, it’s likely they are also declining or at risk of extinction. Additional research is urgently needed to protect them. • A primary driver of these declines is agricultural intensification, which includes habitat destruction and pesticide use. Other major threats are climate change and urbanization. These troubling findings come as a growing body of research has revealed that more than 40 percent of insect pollinators globally are highly threatened, including many of the native bees critical to unprompted crop and wildflower pollination across the United States.

THIRTEEN PLANT TAXA FROM THE NORTHERN CHANNEL ISLANDS RECOVERY PLAN Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon Approved: Operations Office, Wildlife Service Date: I PRIMARY AUTHOR The Recovery Plan for Thirteen Plant Taxa from the Northern Channel Islands was prepared by: Tim Thomas U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. We (the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives of the recovery plan will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Costs indicated for task implementation and/or time for achievement ofrecovery are only estimates and are subject to change. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval ofany individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation other than our own. They represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Director, Regional Director, or CalifornialNevada Operations Office Manager as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Literature citation should read: U.S.

  • Burke's Goldfields Is a Small, Slender Annual Herb in the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae)
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish & Wildlife Office Species Account BURKE’S GOLDFIELDS Lasthenia burkei CLASSIFICATION: Endangered Federal Register Notice 56:61173; December 2, 1991 http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/federal_register/fr1980.pdf (3.6 MB) STATE LISTING STATUS AND CNPS CODE: This species was listed as endangered by the California Department of Fish and Game in September 1997. The California Native Plant Society has placed it on List 1B (rare or endangered throughout its range). Burke’s Goldfields Copyright © 2009 Heather Davis CRITICAL HABITAT : None designated RECOVERY PLAN : None 5-YEAR REVIEW : Completed 10/8/2008. No change. http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/five_year_review/doc1992.pdf DESCRIPTION: Burke's goldfields is a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It has narrow, opposite leaves. The plant can be easily confused with other goldfields such as Contra Costa goldfields (L. conjugens ) by people not trained in botany. Both the ray and disk flowers of L. burke are bright yellow, while the pappus of the species usually consists of one long bristle and several short bristles. In similar members of the Burke’s Goldfields genus, the pappus (seed appendage that aids dispersal by acting Copyright © 2002 John Game like a little parachute) usually is absent or consists of two or more lung bristles. See Hickman (1993) in General Information about California Plants, below, for a detailed description of Burke's goldfields and other goldfields ( Lasthenia ) species. Flowers bloom from April until June. VERNAL POOLS : Vernal pools are a unique kind of wetland ecosystem. Central to their distinctive ecology is their ephemeral nature.
