Basic research and surveys

Evidence of rarity or endemism exists, but significant questions remain as to current range, population status, habitat needs, and/or threats. Includes species known historically from the state and not observed in recent years, species reported from only a few sites, etc. Insufficient information exists to develop a specific conservation strategy at this time. Emphasis will be on conducting basic research to determine current status, habitat need... More

    Species has suffered catastrophic declines in the state, to the point of extirpation (or near extirpation). Former range, causes of decline, and habitat needs are generally known, but may require some additional research. Existing populations are clearly imperiled and not likely to persist without...

  • Protection/management of best populations/critical habitats

    Range, threats, and habitat needs are well known, but may not be a good indicator of meso-scale habitat quality (e.g., presence and abundance may be better correlated with microhabitat factors, or may be a eurytopic species that ranges widely over many habitats but that depends on discrete areas...
