Extractions: MassWildlife's (3rd ed., 2000, Revised 2002) Fauna of Massachusetts Series No. 3 (*) . More on List History and Bibliography follows the species listing. AMPHIBIA CAUDATA: Necturidae (Mudpuppies and Waterdogs) Common Name Scientific Name Distribution Mudpuppy Necturus maculosus Introduced to the Connecticut River drainage in Amherst some years prior to 1936. However, there are records from the Conn. River in CT as early as 1875. The mudpuppy is also reported from a few lakes in southern Berkshire County. Mudpuppies do occur naturally in Lake Champlain in VT and in the Hudson River, but were probably introduced to the western Massachusetts locales. CAUDATA: Ambystomatidae (Mole Salamanders) Common Name Scientific Name Distribution Jefferson Salamander* Ambystoma jeffersonianum Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties. Listed as Special Concern. NOTE: Polyploid "species" formerly described as "Tremblay's Salamander" (Ambystoma tremblayi) and Silvery Salamander (Ambystoma platineum) are now considered to be genetic variants of the Jefferson- Blue-spotted salamander complex, containing 2-4 sets of chromosomes. Blue-spotted Salamander* Ambystoma laterale Reported from Bristol, Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, and eastern Worcester counties. Records of specimens west of Worcester County may represent Ambystoma jeffersonianum and other members of this species complex. Listed as Special Concern

Extractions: New Alchemy Quarterly, No. 39 Cover crops are grown not to produce food or fiber, but to conserve, maintain and enrich the soil, and to perform other functions in the agricultural ecosystem. Growing cover crops during seasons in which the land would otherwise be idle protects the soil from water and wind erosion, reduces the loss of nutrients through leaching and runoff, adds organic matter and suppresses weeds. Legumes such as clover support symbiotic bacteria on their roots which fix (convert) atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. Many cover crops can extract nutrients from insoluble minerals, making them available for plant growth. When cover crops are turned back into the soil (at which time they are often called "green manures"), their residues contribute to soil organic matter, and a substantial part of their nutrients become available to the next crop. Finally, some cover crops provide food (nectar) or habitat for beneficial insects. Because so many benefits can be derived from a relatively small input of materials (10 to 100 lb seeds per acre), cover crops have been called a cornerstone of many sustainable agricultural systems (Liebhardt et al. 1989) At the New Alchemy Institute, we have been studying cover crops for sustainable vegetable production for the past three years. The table on the following page is a synopsis of information on cover crops for temperate climates, derived from a review of literature and seed catalogues, a survey of farmers in the Northeast (Schonbeck 1988), and our own experience.

National Park Service - Nature & Science: Biologic Resources L. laeta , native to South America, has also been reported in the United States inMassachusetts (Gertsch 1967) and California (Keh 1970). Ariz. coop ext. Ser. http://www.nature.nps.gov/biology/ipm/manual/spiders.htm
Extractions: NPS Home Biologic Resources NPS Biology Spiders and Scorpions This module is intended to serve as a source of basic information needed to implement an integrated pest management program for spiders and scorpions. Any pest management plan or activity must be formulated within the framework of the management zones where it will be implemented. Full consideration must be given to threatened and endangered species, natural and cultural resources, human health and safety, and the legal mandates of the individual parks. Recommendations in this module must be evaluated and applied in relation to these broader considerations. Most people are familiar with the general appearance of both spiders and scorpions. Spiders and scorpions are both arachnids, which is a group of animals that also includes mites, ticks, and harvestmen (daddy longlegs). The arachnids are closely related to insects. Both spiders and scorpions, like insects, have a hard external body, but spiders and scorpions have four pairs of legs while insects have three pairs.

Extractions: NPS Home Biologic Resources NPS Biology Leafy Spurge This module is intended to serve as a source of basic information needed to implement an integrated pest management program for leafy spurge. Any pest management plan or activity must be formulated within the framework of the management zones where it will be implemented. Full consideration must be given to threatened and endangered species, natural and cultural resources, human health and safety, and the legal mandates of the individual parks. Recommendations in this module must be evaluated and applied in relation to these broader considerations. Indirect impacts of leafy spurge infestations include the loss of food sources for grazing animals caused by competition with native plants in pastures and on rangeland. Leafy spurge infestations may cut pasture production by 50%-75%. Since wildlife and cattle generally avoid grazing in infested areas, carrying capacity may be reduced by up to 75% (Lacey et al. 1984). Leafy spurge is toxic to most grazing mammals, and the milky latex contains substances that act as irritants, emetics, and purgatives for many animals when eaten.
