The head bears pedipalps and chelicerae but not antennae. There are four pairs of walking legs. Examples: ticks, spiders, mites, scorpions, etc. apiculate - ending in a short, sharp point adpressed - pressed closely against. With salamanders, the relative length of the limbs can be assessed by holding them closely against the side of the body and checking the distance separating them or the amount they overlap alkali - a hydroxide which dissolves in water to form a solution with a pH greater than 7; capable of neutralizing an acid. arid - describes a climate or habitat having a low annual rainfall of less than 250 mm, with evaporation exceeding precipitation, and a sparse vegetation
The Work Of The People's Trust For Endangered Species endangered and threatened species and their habitats all over the world, PTES is funding six months of a post, run by the Bat Conservation Trust, http://www.ptes.org/work/projects.html
Extractions: Skip navigation Main navigation Working to preserve wildlife for the future The People's Trust takes on a whole range of projects for endangered and threatened species and their habitats all over the world, as well as here in the UK. This work varies enormously from project to project and can be research into conservation problems or practical conservation work in the field. Bulgarian Institute of Zoology In recent years, greater horseshoe bat populations in Bulgaria have suffered significant losses, and some colonies have disappeared altogether. The Institute of Zoology in Sofia, Bulgaria, has be studying caves in northern Bulgaria to find out more about local populations and to investigate why the species is in decline. Recent findings have shown that there are a number of factors in the decline, including vandalism of habitat, deliberate attacks on individual colonies and the use of insecticides, which has driven the bats from their natural habitat. Armenian Leopard Conservation Society Research on Persian leopards is being undertaken in Armenia, one of the few remaining areas where they are still found in the wild. Using scat counts (locating and counting leopard faecal matter) and lures, the main areas where the leopards are found will be identified. These areas will be known as Priority Leopard Conservation areas, and conservation efforts in these areas will be maximised and a complete strategy developed in order to protect this charismatic species.

Extractions: Bay Delta and Special Water Projects Division, CA Dept. of Fish and Game For this report the mammal group is split into two sections, Special Status Bats and Other Special Status Mammals. This is done to facilitate the differences between these two mammal groups and the study methods used. The mammals listed include all Federal and California state listed species as well as "Special Animals" as defined by the NDDB. There are 23 bat species found in California. Four species have been confirmed as occurring along the Stanislaus River and up to a total of 12 are expected to be using this area. Ten species listed by the state of California and the Federal Governmentf can be found in northern California. Of these ten special-status bat species, three were observed, five are expected to occur, and one additional species may occur along the Stanislaus River: Yuma myotis (Myotis yumanensis) a Federal Category 2 candidate for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as Threatened or Endangered;

Along with such celebrated species as the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) and the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a variety of important but lesser known endangered and threatened animals and plants occur within the Midwest Region of the National Park Service. They can be found in a rich assemblage of habitats from rivers to caves, savannas, wetlands, prairies, lakeshores, and forests. Another lesser known aquatic organism is the endangered Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka), a small fish historically found in streams in the central and eastern Great Plains. Decades of harmful land use practices have degraded water quality in much of the shiner's historic habitat, leaving only a few remnant populations. The shiner is found at the recently established Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in eastern Kansas. The Preserve will improve habitat for the Topeka shiner through management programs that reduce or eliminate sedimentation, pesticides, and harmful fish species not native to the site.

Endangered And Threatened Species Recovery Program Myotis sodalis endangered Human disturbance of hibernating Indiana batsby cavers, researchers, and vandals account for most of the species decline, http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/wildlife/recoprog/states/species/myotsoda.htm
Extractions: Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center Home Site Map About ... Web Help Human disturbance of hibernating Indiana bats by cavers, researchers, and vandals account for most of the species' decline, although deforestation and stream channelization are also factors. The role of contaminants is unclear for the Indiana bat; however, pesticides have been shown to decrease the number of many insectivorous North American bats. Natural threats to this bat include flooding of hibernacula (caves), collapse of hibernacula ceilings, and hypothermia induced by severe winters. Since the 1990 recovery report, the Indiana population of Indiana bats has increased 18 percent. Activities such as educational posting at cave entrances and cave gating have contributed to this population increase. Two formal section 7 interagency consultations have been carried out, one with the Federal Aviation Administration on a major airport expansion project and one with the Soil Conservation Service on a flood control/stream channelization project. Both consultations resulted in no-jeopardy biological opinions, and reasonable and prudent measures suggested by the Fish and Wildlife Service to minimize incidental take were adopted. Recovery needs include protecting hibernacula, protecting and restoring summer nursery habitat, monitoring population trends, educating the public, and continuing research on Indiana bat ecology and biology.

Advertise Endangered Animals of the Virgin Islands Most Virgin Islands enthusiast whether residents or visitors can name at least a few animals that are common ly found in the islands. Perhaps mongoose, lizards, deer might come to mind; definitely the iguana does for most people. But what about owls, bats or tree boas- yes snakes; would they come to mind? Probably not and perhaps the reason is that these animals are all endangered or threatened. Lets learn more about some of the endangered animals of the Virgin Islands. The green turtle, leatherback turtle and hawksbill turtle are all sea turtles that were once very common to coastal waters, coral reefs and sea grass beds around the USVI. All three species nest on sandy beaches, some of which are protected in the USVI in order to prevent further harm to the turtle population. Leatherback turtles have been around for a long time, over 150 million years to be more exact. They outlived the dinosaurs and are considered the longest living marine species! But today the worlds largest turtle the leatherback which can weigh over 1000 pounds and reach lengths of nine feet is on the brink of extinction.

We are asking for members of the public to help us to create artificial breeding grounds in their back gardens and local green spaces by burying plastic buckets drilled with holes and filled with wood chippings. This will provide ideal breeding ground for female stag beetles.

They are running a project to identify the fungal species associated with wood in which stag beetle larvae develop. These will then be compared with the distribution of the fungus in the national database.
