(4/22/2011) FGC - American pika state listing petition
نویسنده
چکیده
On May 15, 2009, I sent a letter with documents on an accompanying compact disk to the California Fish and Game Commission on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity to apprise the Commission of scientific studies pertinent to the Commission's reconsideration of the Petition to List the American Pika under the California Endangered Species Act. That letter discussed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's May 7, 2009, positive 90-day finding on the federal petition to list the American pika. I have attached this 90-day finding from the Federal Register to be included in the Commission's reconsideration of the CESA pika listing petition, as it was not included on the compact disk that I sent on May 15.

Studies in nonalpine areas have been limited to relatively few environments, and it is unclear whether patterns observed elsewhere (e.g., Bodie, CA) represent other nonalpine habitats. This study was designed to establish pika presence in a...

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been a legislative tool whose critics have derided its misuse and proponents have sought to strengthen its implementation. To determine whether the ESA is being used to protect species rather than to preserve land, and if the subsequent listing is influenced by petitioner affiliation, we conducted a content analysis of listing petitions. We found that most p...

20 In a pilot study, I observed a relationship between domestic livestock grazing and location of 21 American pika (Ochotona princeps) haypiles in the eastern Sierra Nevada and several Great 22 Basin mountain ranges.
