CRAYFISH CHANGES TO THE ARKANSAS WILDLIFE ACTION PLAN AFTER THE FIRST 10 YEARS
The Arkansas Wildlife Action Plan was revised in 2015. This plan describes the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SCGN) and priority habitats that may receive funding through the State Wildlife Grant Program in Arkansas. In this presentation, we review the Wildlife Grant Program, species addition and removal, and future crayfish conservation priorities. Arkansas has 60 recognized crayfish taxa. A total of 27 crayfish species were listed as SGCN, a net increase of 3 species over the original plan. Procambarus ferrugineus was removed from the list because it was found to be an invalid species and four species (Cambarus hubbsi, Fallicambarus dissitus, Orconectes acares, and O. leptogonopodus) were added. Among species that appeared in both versions of the plan, one showed increased conservation priority and nine showed decreased conservation priority. During the decade that the original plan was in place, research was conducted involving 13 crayfishes resulting directly in the reduced conservation priority for seven of them. The 2015 plan will be used to prioritize projects that will receive State Wildlife Grant funding over the next decade.
