Threat (A) Sample Clauses

Threat (A). The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range. As noted previously, habitat loss is an important factor in the decline of EMR. The effects of past, widespread wetland loss continue to impact EMR populations. Development and agricultural practices continue to cause habitat loss, although to a lesser degree than in the past. Habitat loss increases the distance between populations and can isolate seasonally used habitats within individual populations, can restrict gene flow and other effects of small population dynamics, as well as increase exposure to sources of mortality. Destruction or modification of habitat is affecting at least 50 populations range-wide (Xxxxxxxxx 1998). In addition, urban encroachment has disrupted the natural disturbance processes (such as hydrological cycles and fire frequency), and subsequently, changes in habitat structure and vegetative composition have occurred. Prolonged flood conditions may make wetlands too deep for use by EMR, while prolonged drought conditions may affect crayfish populations and thus reduce the number of suitable hibernacula available for EMR. Woody succession, especially by introduced species such as Eurasian buckthorn, that results in habitat becoming too shaded may reduce or eliminate these sites as suitable places for EMR to bask and thermoregulate. For example, in New York, EMR relate spatially with areas where woody stems are in low density (Xxxxxxx 1995). In Pennsylvania increasing woody vegetation was cited as a threat at 75 percent of the EMR sites surveyed (Xxxxxxx and Buskar 1993). The Service, partner organizations and species experts from throughout the range of the species completed a range-wide extinction risk model for the EMR (Xxxxx et al. 2011). Based on expert inputs, vegetative succession and habitat fragmentation were found to be the two of the three most commonly occurring detrimental factors (with the third being late season prescribed xxxxx) occurring at sites with active EMR populations (Xxxxx et al. 2011, pp. 12‐15, 56‐62).
