- Description
- The U.S.D.A. Forest Service (FS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) have worked cooperatively under a Conservation Agreement (CA) since 1998 to protect sensitive species on the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (NRA), including eight butterflies endemic to the Spring Mountains. Four of these subspecies have been identified as priorities for conservation: the Mt. Charleston blue (Plebejus shasta charlestonensis), Morand’s checkerspot (Euphydryas anicia morandi), Acastus checkerspot (Chlosyne acastus robusta), and Spring Mountains dark blue (Euphilotes enoptes ssp). They were identified as priorities for conservation based on the limited number of locations where the butterflies are currently known to occur. These autecology studies are imperative to determine why the ranges of these subspecies are restricted and help provide detailed information necessary to conserve, restore, and improve butterfly habitat and range. Given the demand to provide recreation and other uses on the Spring Mountains NRA, there is an urgent need to advance the current understanding of the basic ecology of these butterflies and develop an appropriate management strategy. Thus, the studies must be scientifically rigorous, but with an emphasis on finding applied solutions for managers to use to conserve these butterflies.
