I'm very excited to share our new publication in Systematic Botany. After exhaustive survey work at the sole known location in Manchester, NH, we declare the Slender Crabgrass extinct. After genetic and morphological study, we return this grass to the rank of species, Digitaria laeviglumis, as it was first proposed by Fernald in 1920. We elevate many other varieties of Digitaria filiromis to the rank of species and describe a new species from Mexico. The grass in Mexico was confused with the extinct New Hampshire species. Why did the Slender Crabgrass go extinct? It was likely due to vast overcollection. Fernald & Griscom collected 31 herbarium sheets of material; some have more than one plant. Overcollection is not just a threat to showy orchids but can impact any rare species. This was a wonderful international collaboration led by @Bill Nichols (New Hampshire Natural Heritage Program), with @Craig Barrett, Lauren Kosslow, Cameron Corbett (West Virginia University), Joseph K. Wipff (Flora of North America author for the genus), Jorge Gabriel Sanchez-Ken (Instituto de Ecologia, Mexico), and Erin M. Sigel (University of New Hampshire). #conservation #nature #extinct #newspecies #taxonomy #endemic #rare

Excited to share a new publication on pollinator conservation! This study highlights the critical need to include more pollinating insects in State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs), which serve as blueprints for conserving our nation's fish and wildlife and preventing endangered species. With SWAPs being updated in 2025, the timing of this report is essential for securing funding for their protection in the next cycle. The publication is the result of collaboration across several states and features valuable insights from the #NatureServeNetwork.  View the report to discover the findings and the path forward: https://lnkd.in/eYDEX2-X #PollinatorConservation #WildlifeAction NatureServe Vermont Center for Ecostudies 📸 Hessel's hairstreak (Callophrys hesseli).
