Distribution in Arizona Sample Clauses

Distribution in Arizona. ‌ The covered Sonorella and Oreohelix species are limited to the Pinaleño Mountains in Arizona, and genetic analysis by Xxxxxx et al. (2010) has helped identify which regions within these mountains each of the species resides. Previous collections and morphological examinations by Xxxxxxx (1990) provided additional species locality information for these land snails. Figures 1- 4 show known localities of these land snails based on collections by Xxxxxxx (1990), Xxxxxx et al. (2010), AGFD, and the USFS. Figure 5, from Xxxxxx et al. (2010) shows the overlap of species distribution in the area of Heliograph Peak, Turkey Flat, and Wet Canyon. Figure 1. Overview map of Pinaleño land snail localities as of September 2016. All localities are on the Coronado National Forest, Arizona. Figure 2. Map of land snail localities in the northwestern part of the Pinaleño Mountains, West Peak to Xxxxx Peak, as of September 2016. In July 2016, a USFS biologist found a Sonorella shell at the locality between “Xxxxxxx C1” and “Xxxxxxx C2”, northwest of West Peak. Figure 3.

Distribution in Arizona. ‌ The original description of the species by Hershler and Landye (1988) examined specimens from five sites in Santa Xxxx County, Arizona (Cottonwood Spring, Monkey Spring, Canelo Hills Ciénega, Xxxxxx Spring, and Xxxxxxxx Ranch Spring), and from one site in Sonora, Mexico (Ojo Caliente). The range of the species has subsequently been expanded to include several other sites where the species has been located by various researchers and agency personnel. Landye (1999) lists 15 spring localities from which the species has been known: Garden Canyon (two distinct springs), Huachuca Canyon (two distinct springs), XxXxxxx Spring, Broken Pipe Spring, Cave Spring, Sawmill Spring, and Blacktail Spring on Fort Huachuca; Scotia Canyon/Xxxxxxxx Ranch Spring (now part of USFS lands), Monkey Spring, Cottonwood Spring, Xxxxxx Spring, and Canelo Hills Cienega on private lands; and Ojo Caliente on private land in Mexico. Landye (1995) suggested that sites with hydrobiid snails discussed by Frest (1993) were Huachuca springsnail and included Cienega Creek, Xxxxxx Canyon, and Redfield Canyon. Landye (1999) also listed other potential, but USFWS (1995) lists most of the same sites mentioned above, but recognized two other sites on the Coronado National Forest, Sylvania Spring and Tombstone Reservoir. AGFD (2015) listed 17 sites: Xxxxxx Canyon, Sawmill Canyon, Blacktail Canyon, X’Xxxxxxx Canyon, Bear Creek, two sites in Garden Canyon, three sites in XxXxxxx Canyon, and two sites in Huachuca Canyon. Sites within the Santa Xxxx River drainage are located in: Xxxxxx Spring, two sites within the Sonoita Creek drainage (Cottonwood Spring and Monkey Spring), and two sites within the vicinity of Scotia Canyon (Xxxxxxxx Ranch and Neighbor Spring). Some potential historical sites were investigated in 2015, but springsnails were not found: Upper Santa Xxxx River near the international border, Sharp Spring, and Xxxxxx Tank in X’Xxxxxxx Canyon. Additional surveys of the Upper Santa Xxxx River are needed. Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx et al. (1992) reported the species from Cienega Los Fresnos in Sonora, Mexico. During field sampling for genetic analysis and habitat studies, Hurt (2004) sampled nine sites (Bear, Canelo Hills, Cottonwood, XxXxxxx, Garden, Cave, Monkey, Xxxxxxxx Ranch, and Sawmill) and Tsai et al. (2007) sampled eight sites (Garden Canyon, XxXxxxx, Cave Spring 1 and 0, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Spring 1, 2, and 3, all of which appear to overlap with sites previously identified.
