1 Habitat Restoration for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly Scott McMillan, AECOM Lindsey Cavallaro, AECOM Southern California Grasslands Symposium March 22, 2012
2 Presentation Overview Background on Quino checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha quino) Quino habitat - costal mesa and foothill Overview of restoration and enhancement methods 3 project case studies and lessons learned Ongoing issues and challenges for the future Conclusions March 22, 2012 Page 2
3 Species distribution (historical and current) Listed status Life cycle and Ecology Historical: Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside and San Diego Counties as well as Baja California. Current: Possibly as few as a dozen occurrences in Riverside and San Diego Counties and Baja California March 22, 2012 Page 3
4 Species distribution (historical and current) Listed status Life cycle and Ecology Listed status: Listed as Federally Endangered on January 16, 1997 (62 Federal Register 2313) March 22, 2012 Page 4
5 Species distribution (historical and current) Listed status Life cycle and Ecology Adults normally fly in late February to April Females mate once then lay approximately eggs Eggs hatch into pre-diapause larvae and molt 2-3 times Larvae enter diapause until early winter rains Post diapause larvae mature and then pupate (10 days) March 22, 2012 Page 5
6 Species distribution (historical and current) Listed status Life cycle and Ecology Hilltopping and Mating Metapopulation Theory March 22, 2012 Page 6
7 Quino Habitat Coastal Mesas and Foothills Coastal sage scrub, chaparral, native grasslands, and open clay soils March 22, 2012 Page 7
8 Quino Habitat Coastal Mesas and Foothills Open clay soils often associated with crytobiotic crusts (lichens, mosses, liverworts, blue-green algae, bacteria and fungi) March 22, 2012 Page 8
9 Quino Habitat Coastal Mesas and Foothills Larval host plants March 22, 2012 Page 9

26 Dennery Canyon West Lessons Learned Requires experienced and highly qualified crews Multiple seasons of seeding required for seed bank establishment Weed control in upland habitats vs. wetlands Conditions of the surrounding landscape Control of disturbance tolerant native species March 22, 2012 Page 26
27 TransNet Vernal Pool and Restoration and Enhancement Methods Dethatch Low level of herbicide use One round of reseeding Fencing to prohibit cattle, off-road activity Sites adjacent to Quino populations Simple cover plots March 27, 2012 Page 27
28 TransNet Vernal Pool and Upland Nonnative Cover (%) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Nobel Goat Mesa Otay Lakes Proctor Valley Marron Valley March 27, 2012 Page 28

30 TransNet Vernal Pool and Lessons Learned Dethatching alone is effective Low levels of herbicide use is effective Weed control of a subset of the weed species is not effective in many situations March 22, 2012 Page 30
31 General Costs by Category Weed Control Restoration and re-establishment $7,000 per acre per year Enhancement $5,500 per acre per year Long-term management $500 per acre per year March 22, 2012 Page 31
32 General Costs by Category Seeding Restoration and reestablishment $2,500 per acre per year Enhancement $1,250 per acre per year Long-term management Ideally, none Remedial seeding only as needed March 22, 2012 Page 32
33 Ongoing Issues Other methods of management Measuring long-term success Plantago erecta morphology Understanding population dynamics USFWS study Reintroduction of Quino larvae to restored sites March 22, 2012 Page 33
34 Summary and Conclusions Restoration of Quino habitat is challenging Must have highly qualified crews Human goals can be met, but does that satisfy the needs of the butterfly? We may be wasting our time without a program for reintroduction of the butterfly Some management will always be necessary March 22, 2012 Page 34
