  • 2013 Draft Mazama Pocket Gopher Status Update and Recovery Plan
    DRAFT Mazama Pocket Gopher Status Update and Recovery Plan Derek W. Stinson Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife Program 600 Capitol Way N Olympia, Washington January 2013 In 1990, the Washington Wildlife Commission adopted procedures for listing and de-listing species as endangered, threatened, or sensitive and for writing recovery and management plans for listed species (WAC 232-12-297, Appendix A). The procedures, developed by a group of citizens, interest groups, and state and federal agencies, require preparation of recovery plans for species listed as threatened or endangered. Recovery, as defined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the process by which the decline of an endangered or threatened species is arrested or reversed, and threats to its survival are neutralized, so that its long-term survival in nature can be ensured. This is the Draft Washington State Status Update and Recovery Plan for the Mazama Pocket Gopher. It summarizes what is known of the historical and current distribution and abundance of the Mazama pocket gopher in Washington and describes factors affecting known populations and its habitat. It prescribes strategies to recover the species, such as protecting populations and existing habitat, evaluating and restoring habitat, and initiating research and cooperative programs. Target population objectives and other criteria for down-listing to state Sensitive are identified. As part of the State’s listing and recovery procedures, the draft recovery plan is available for a 90-day public comment period. Please submit written comments on this report by 19 April 2013 via e-mail to: [email protected], or by mail to: Endangered Species Section Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife 600 Capitol Way North Olympia, WA 98501-1091 This report should be cited as: Stinson, D.

  • Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, Under Research Permit #17-171
    Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, under research permit #17-171 Report to Alberta Tourism, Park and Recreation, Parks Division November 2017 by Gregory R. Pohl Gregory Pohl and other members of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild were granted a research permit (#17-171) for moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) observation and collection in the Tolman - Rumsey area of central Alberta in the summer of 2017. This is our report of the species observed and collected in the area. Study Sites: The following sites were visited and sampled for Lepidoptera: 1. Rowley townsite (Figure 1). 51.760°N 112.786°W. July 14-16, 2017. Abandoned home sites and field margins; disturbed area along train tracks. Although not a protected area requiring a permit, this was our base of operations and camping area, it was convenient to observe and collect moths and butterflies here. Most of the species encountered here are expected to occur in nearby parks and natural areas. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting; UV light traps; mercury vapour lights. 2. "North Rumsey": Township Road 589, vicinity of Rumsey Natural Area. 51.965°N 112.625°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland with small sloughs. Although not technically within the Rumsey Natural Area, this site is very near and is comprised of similar habitat. The species seen here are all expected within the natural area. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting. 3. "West Rumsey": Western edge of Rumsey Natural Area (Figure 2). 51.882°N 112.691°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland and grassland.

  • Petition for the Release of Aphthona Cyparissiae Against Leafy Spurge in the United States1
    Reprinted with permission from: USDA-ARS, March 19, 1986, unpublished. Petition for the release of Aphthona cyparissiae against leafy spurge in the 1 United States ROBERT W. PEMBERTON Part I TO: Dr. R. Bovey, Dept. of Range Science USDA/ARS/SR Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843 U.S.A. Enclosed are the results of the research on the flea beetle Aphthona cyparissiae (Chrysomelidae). This petition is composed of two parts. The first is the report “Aph- thona cyparissiae (Kock) and A. flava Guill. (Coleopera: Chrysomelidae): Two candi- dates for the biological control of cypress and leafy spurge in North America” by G. Sommer and E. Maw which the Working Group reviewed on Canada’s behalf. Copies of this report should be in the Working Group’s files. This research, which was done at the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control’s Delémont, Switzerland lab, showed A. cyparissiae to be specific to the genus Euphorbia of the Euphorbiaceae. This result agrees with the literature and field records for A. cyparissiae, which recorded it from: Euphorbia cyparissias, E. esula, E. peplus, E. seguieriana, and E. virgata. The Sommer and Maw report also included information on A. cyparissiae’s taxonomic position, life history, laboratory biology, mortality factors, feeding effects on the host plants, the Harris scoring system, as well as a brief description of the target plant – leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula complex), a serious pest of the rangelands of the Great Plains of North America. Based on this research, the Working Group gave permission to release A. cyparissiae in Canada and to import it into the USDA’s Biological Control of Weeds Quarantine in Al- bany, California, for additional testing.

  • Biological Control
    Salsola tragus Biological Control: Hasan et al . (2001) report that, "The rust fungus Uromyces salsolae Reichardt (Isolate MW338; IMI No. 372660) was found on S. tragus in western Turkey. The attacked plants were covered with a powdery brown mass of unicellular, globular to oval-shaped urediniospores produced in round to elongated sori on the leaves and stems, and showed much reduced growth. Later in the season, the plants produced unicellular, thick-walled, dark teliospores borne in round to elongated telia. Similarly, the S. tragus plants from the USA, when inoculated in the greenhouse with a water suspension of the urediniospores of U. salsolae , developed brown uredinia and then telia as the disease advanced. The rust has been reported on several species of Salsola in the former-USSR, Israel, Iran, Romania, Australia, France, Pakistan, and Portugal (CAB International Report, unpublished). IMI records also show that the rust has been recorded on other genera of Chenopodiaceae from former USSR, Cyprus, and Romania. During our host specicity studies, the strain of U. salsolae collected by S. Hasan in Turkey was restricted to S. tragus and did not infect any of the other 16 plant species or varieties belonging to six different families that were tested. The fungus severely infected S. tragus plants not only from the USA but also those from Montpellier (France) and Turkey, showing that the rust may not be restricted only to certain biotypes of the weed. The rust fungus, which is highly damaging and effective in killing or severely reducing the growth of the weed under greenhouse conditions, has recently been imported into the USA for further host specificity testing under quarantine conditions.

The purpose of this plan is to provide a guide to manage, in the most efficient and effective manner, the noxious weeds on the US Air Force Academy (Academy) and Farish Recreation Area (Farish) over the next 10 years (through 2025), in accordance with their respective integrated natural resources management plans. This plan pertains to the “natural” portions of the Academy and excludes highly developed areas, such as around buildings, recreation fields, and lawns.
