D. Extinction!
1. Terms…
• Extinct vs Extant
• Extinct in wild
• Globally vs Locally extinct or extirpated
• Ecologically extinct
• Economically extinct

2. Categorizing species
States “List” Species (MN)
•Endangered-in danger of extinction through sig. portion of their range.•Threatened-likely to become endangered in foreseeable future•Special Concern-problems suspected but not confirmed

Federal Govt “Lists” Species (US)•Endangered=near extinction•Threatened=likely to be come endangered in near future•Candidate species=need to be looked at
A “listed species” means it is either endangered or threatened.
IUCN “Lists” Species (EX and EW)(International Union for Conservation of Nature)
Threatened•Critically Endangered-extreme risk (.5 in 10yrs or 3 generations)
•Endangered-high risk (.2 in 20yrs or 5 generations)•Vulnerable-likely to become endangered unless the circumstances threatening it improve (.10 over 100yrs)Two categories of lower risk
Near Threatened-likely to become endangeredLeast Concern
An “Other” category (Data Deficient, Not Evaluated)

The list for US contains species from other countries!!!????
Why List Foreign Species?The Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires the Service to list species as endangered or threatened regardless of which country the species lives in. Benefits to the species include prohibitions on certain activities including import, export, take, commercial activity, interstate commerce, and foreign commerce. By regulating activities, the United States ensures that people under the jurisdiction of the United States do not contribute to the further decline of listed species.

3. Timing of getting on list
At what point do we put organisms in the extinct category?
How long do we have to wait…?

4. What about loss of populations?
Less dramatic are local extinctions or extirpations…
Widespread species …now restricted to a few small pockets of their former habitat.
burying beetle..
Historically found all over east and midwest..
