25. Endangered And Threatened Species Of Pennsylvania The sucking mouth disc bears 10 large teeth with two sharp cusps situated around REASONSFOR BEING threatened The status of this species parallels that http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Fish_Boat/endangered/endangt8.htm

Mountain Brook Lamprey Ichthyomyzon greeleyi photo by Gary Meszaros maximum length- 10 inches IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS: This fish is a non-parasitic lamprey similar to the Ohio lamprey and it typically reaches a smaller maximum length (to 10 inches). The sucking mouth disc bears 10 large teeth with two sharp cusps situated around the top and sides of the mouth opening and a single row of smaller, single-pointed teeth beneath the mouth opening. Regular rows of generally smaller single-pointed teeth occupy the remainder of the disc. The sucking disc is narrower than the body. BIOLOGY-NATURAL HISTORY: This species' spawning period partly coincides with the Ohio lamprey's. Both species have been observed using the same spawning depressions at the same time. Adults die soon after spawning; the ammocoetes, which cannot be distinguished structurally from Ohio lamprey ammocoetes, construct U-shaped burrows in which they remain until sexually mature. Food items consist of a variety of very small plants and animals carried by the current. Upon attainment of sexual maturity, the digestive system degenerates and teeth develop within the hooded mouth. PREFERRED HABITAT: The mountain brook lamprey inhabits some of the same waters inhabited by the Ohio lamprey, but it is usually found farther upstream.

Gilt Darter Percina evide photo by Rob Criswell maximum length- 3 1/2 inches IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS: The gilt darter attains a maximum length of 3 1/2 inches. The robust body is dark olive above, shading to lighter yellow-green on the sides and belly. Seven to nine dark blotches above join to a series of similar blotches along each side to form vertical bands. A bar of dark color extends downward from each eye. Breeding males are adorned with bright orange-red to yellow and blue-green markings on the head, sides, lower body and first dorsal fin. The midline of the belly in males bears a row of large, spiny scales. BIOLOGY-NATURAL HISTORY: Little is known about this species. Spawning apparently takes place in deep riffles during the spring. Brightly colored males have been found well into the summer months within its Southern and Midwestern range. PREFERRED HABITAT: Gilt darters require clean rivers, whether small or large, with moderate to fast current, flowing over gravel-rubble bottoms. It prefers the middle and lower parts of riffles and clean pools. REASONS FOR BEING THREATENED: The species is known in Pennsylvania only from the upper Allegheny River, where it has persisted for many years. This locality is the smallest of four other disconnected areas in the upper Mississippi River basin, the Ozark region, Indiana, and major southern tributaries of the Ohio River. It seems to be declining throughout its range. Though associated with a number of other darter species, relatively few individuals of the gilt darter are encountered.

27. Endangered Species In The National Parks and employees are educated to store food away from bears. It is listed as endangered. Thebladderpods are threatened by encroaching red cedars and other woody http://www.nature.nps.gov/wv/espark.htm

Text Version Many national parks play a crucial role in recovery efforts for certain endangered species. Some contain all or a large part of the population of a species. Following are accounts of some of the species for which the National Park Service has a special responsibility. Missouri Bladderpod. NPS Photo Grizzly Bear The grizzly bear, once found over most of western North America, now is restricted mainly to western Canada and Alaska. It is listed as threatened in the lower 48 states, where it survives only in parts of the northern Rockies and northern Cascades. Conflict with humans and loss of habitat led to its present status. Missouri Bladderpod This attractive member of the mustard family has been found only in a few locations in southwest Missouri. An annual, it germinates in the fall, overwinters as a small rosette, leafs out and produces showy yellow flowers in the spring, sets seed, and then dies back in hot summer weather. The bladderpod grows in shallow soil in open limestone glades with other prairie species. It is listed as endangered. Wilson's Creek National Battlefield near Springfield, Missouri has several populations of the Missouri bladderpod. The bladderpods are threatened by encroaching red cedars and other woody plants, competition from non-native species such as annual brome grasses, and insect predation on the seeds. Experiments are being conducted on small plots to determine the best ways to reduce woody vegetation and non-native species. Use of fire, a natural occurrence here in presettlement times, may be one answer, if conducted in early fall. The park staff is trying to restore the vegetation of the battlefield to its appearance in 1861, when the battle of Wilson's Creek occurred and settlement of the area had just begun. This restoration should mesh well with conservation of the bladderpod because the scene was more open and less forested during the Civil War.

28. Endangered Species In The National Parks Alaska to the Virgin Islands and Guam are protecting threatened and endangered speciesranging from small plants and crustaceans to grizzly bears and whales. http://www.nature.nps.gov/wv/esprog.htm

Text Version Photo: In parts of Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida, the understory is periodically burned to maintain the open pine stands red-cockaded woodpeckers require. NPS, James Snyder The National Park Service is unique among federal agencies in that its prime mission is to maintain nature in all its diversity undisturbed by human activity in natural areas of national parks. This especially benefits many endangered species, which are particularly vulnerable to human influences. The Service makes an effort to identify these species on its lands (and state-listed species as well), and take steps to improve their lot. Parks from Alaska to the Virgin Islands and Guam are protecting threatened and endangered species ranging from small plants and crustaceans to grizzly bears and whales. In 1988 a survey revealed that over 120 endangered or threatened species were known or suspected to occur in more than 140 units of the National Park System. Some species are found in many parks. The bald eagle nests, migrates, or winters in 71 parks, the peregrine falcon in 59. But most of the species are very restricted. Seventy-four are found in only one or two parks. Many parks contain critical habitat. Critical habitat, under the Endangered Species Act, is an area that has been designated by the Fish and Wildlife Service as essential to the conservation of an endangered species. Critical habitat has been designated in one or more parks for each of some two dozen endangered or threatened species.

29. Mountain-Prairie Region the Lower 48 States. These bears, are listed as threatened underthe endangered species Act and thus protected by federal law. http://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/endspp/grizzly/Yellowstone_constrat2000/q&agb.ht

Mountain-Prairie Region Grizzly Bear Recovery about Grizzly Bears 1. How many grizzly bears are there in the United States? When Lewis & Clark explored the West, there were an estimated 50,000 bears roaming the area that is now the continental United States. But when pioneers moved in, grizzlies moved out. Today there are only a total of about 1,100 grizzlies in the Lower 48 States. These bears, are listed as "threatened"under the Endangered Species Act and thus protected by federal law. 2. What is the purpose of the Endangered Species Act? The purpose of the Act is to restore endangered and threatened animals and plants to the point where they are again viable, self-sustaining components of their ecosystems. 3. How long have grizzly bears been a threatened species? All grizzly bears in the Lower 48 states were listed as threatened in 1975, when populations still inhabited six areas in the states of Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming, identified in the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan as the North Cascades, Selkirk, Cabinet-Yaak, Northern Continental Divide, Bitterroot, and Yellowstone ecosystems. Today, grizzlies are found in all these areas except the Bitterroot. 4. How are each of the grizzly populations doing?

32. Florida Black Bear Approximately 1,000 to 1,500 Florida black bears survive today. a candidate for listingas endangered or threatened under the federal endangered species Act http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5960/blkbear.html

Florida Black Bear Ursus americanus floridanus "Are there really bears in Florida?" In fact, an estimated 1,500 Florida black bears remain from a population once thought to number 12,000. They historically ranged throughout the state and into southern Georgia and Alabama. Currently the five major populations are found in the Ocala, Apalachicola and Osceola National Forests in northern and central Florida, the Eglin Air Force Base and Blackwater State Forest complex in the Florida panhandle and the Big Cypress Swamp in south Florida. See map The black bear subspecies is perhaps the strongest symbol for Florida's diverse wildlife. A wide-ranging omnivore, the bear shares habitat with many of Florida's other native species. By protecting the bear and its habitat, conservationists also support many other animals and plants. The Florida black bear is black with a brown muzzle. Some have a white "blaze" on their chests. An average male black bear weighs 350 pounds, while a female averages 150 pounds. Forest habitats, both wetland and upland forests, are the primary homes of the Florida black bear.

33. Countdown To Extinction Right now we are in an crisis of threatened , endangered and already extinct species. Theywill think tigers and panda bears and all the other wonderful http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/6525/

AUDREY AND TONY'S The issue about Alaska, personally I think we should leave it alone. I feel that companies may promise to follow certain guidelines to not damage the area but once in there will do damage and instead of fixing it they will pay finds and before you know it there will not remain any of the natural beauty that many places today can not claim any more because of they way we live today. Alaska is one of the rare untouched areas and needs to remain that way. Welcome to our page. We are making this page to voice our opinion on how we feel about animals and our world. We realize that this is the only place that we, as a people, have to call home, and we don't understand how so many can choose to destroy everything and not care. At the rate we are going soon there won't be hardly anything .. animals, plants, water, or air. And what we do have will be polluted and contaminated. How is anyone suppose to live in the world that we are now in the process of making.Before long people will be putting themselves on the endangered list..which when you think about it there is certain types of people that have been destroyed by other people look at the Native American Indian, how many tribes have been made extinct. Everyone can do something..even if you only start at home and take care of what you have. Be kind to your pets and when having an exotic pet, read up about it and learn how to take care of it the way it needs to be care for. And if you can't take care of it give it to someone that can, it's O.K. to change your mind.And never purchase endangered species or parts of them, many tourist go to small islands and buy shells of sea turtles, remember, all sea turtles are endangered. If they can't sell them then they won't kill them.

38. Bears In BC - Black Bear Population Trends And Growth bears are highly variable in size and colour and some black bears are similar inappearance to some threatened or endangered species of world bears, such as http://www.bearsinbc.com/pages/01black/01population.html

British Columbia's black bear population is currently at an historic high. The Wildlife Branch estimates that 120,000 to 160,000 black bears live in British Columbia, having increased from around 80,000 in 1870. ( Demarchi 1999 ). This is nearly 30% of the 443,000 black bears in the Canadian population and approximately 15% of the 803,000 black bears in the North American population ( Samuel and Jackson 2000 The greater ability of black bears to adapt to human activities compared to that of grizzly bears has contributed to their success. Black bears have been trapped and hunted continuously by non-natives for nearly 200 years and by First Nations peoples for uncounted generations, yet populations persist in most areas. Black bears in some parts of the province may experience loss of forage as second-growth forests shade out berry producing plants and as large logs, root boles and stumps are lost for denning. These factors may lead to increased cannibalism and some localized population declines ( Davis and Harestad 1996 STATUS OF BLACK BEARS North America Black bears are the most common large carnivore in North America. At a recent black bear workshop for the U.S. and Canada, scientists concluded that black bears are long lived (20+ years), adaptable, highly mobile and more productive than previously thought. The current range of black bears includes all of the Canadian provinces and territories except Prince Edward Island, most of the continental United States in the less-settled forested regions and the northwestern mountains of Mexico.
