Conservation Concern (cont.) 8. NC Population
Is the species known or suspected to concentrate (or aggregate) in North Carolina? • Populations that are so rare they are restricted to small areas can be con-
(a) Majority concentrates at single loca- tion or stream reach in North Carolina (b) Majority concentrates at 2–10 ter- restrial locations or stream reaches in North Carolina (c) Majority concentrates at 11–25 ter- restrial locations or stream reaches in North Carolina (d) Majority concentrates at > 25 ter- restrial locations or stream reaches in North Carolina (e) Te species does not congregate or aggregate in North Carolina
Concentration
sidered aggregations.

(a)
Afects all or most (71%–100%)
(a) Extreme
Likely to destroy or eliminate occurrences, or reduce the popu- lation 71%–100% Likely to seriously degrade/ reduce afected occurrences or habitat or reduce the population 31%–70% Likely to moderately degrade/ reduce afected occurrences or habitat or reduce the population 11%–30% Likely to only slightly degrade/ reduce afected occurrences or habitat, or reduce the population 1%–10% Tere is insufcient informa- tion to determine the severity of threats
Pervasive

(b)
Afects much (31%–70%) of the total population or occurrences Afects some (11%–30%) of the total population or occurrences Afects a small (1%–10%) propor- tion of the total population or occurrences Tere is insufcient information to determine the scope of threats

Knowledge Gaps
10. Statewide
What is the level of knowledge about
(a) Distribution is uncertain, has been extrapolated from a few locations, or knowledge about distribution is limited to general range maps. (b) Broad range limits or habitat associ- ations are known but local occurrence cannot be predicted accurately. (c) Distribution can be easily predicted based on known locations or known habitat associations have been docu- mented throughout the state.
