I am a conservation biologist with over 40 years of experience in ecological research and management, retired after 15 years as a senior scientist with SWCA Environmental Consultants (swca.com), now in my 9th year as a professional volunteer. My work has included invertebrate, mammal, bird, amphibian, fish, reptile, and plant surveys of many areas in the Southwestern U.S. and Hawaii. I have worked in a variety of natural and human-influenced habitats including wilderness, subterranean, montane, wetland, desert, riparian, aquatic, agricultural, and urban environments. My background combines field skills, experience exploring challenging environments, natural history interpretation, technical writing, and critical analysis. 
I have conducted field surveys for wildlife and plants in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Texas. I have published papers in the peer- reviewed scientific literature on endangered birds, insects, mammals, and integrated pest management, and presented papers at many professional meetings. I also published articles and photographs in other magazines and wrote a weekly natural history column for a newspaper for four years. I designed and managed a private 4,500-acre wildlife preserve and a natural history museum for a guest ranch in Arizona. I have mentored other scientists, taught high school, college, and graduate students, and provided interpretive programs in a variety of settings. I have served as an adjunct professor for The Audubon Expedition Institute and Prescott College, and continue to engage in a variety of volunteer projects involving natural history interpretation, wildlife surveys, and ecological studies. 
I am an avid hiker, backpacker, canoeist, kayaker, and mountain biker. I have had continuing education training as a Backcountry Ranger, Certified Interpretive Host, Wilderness First Responder, Pet First Aid, Animal Rescue in Disasters, Red Cross Disaster Assistance, and the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Skills and Safety course. I have acted as a supernumerary with the Arizona Opera Company and an actor with the Saint Francis Players.

EDUCATION 
Ph.D. 1985 Major: Entomology. Minor: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. University of Arizona, Tucson. 
Dissertation: Bionomics and Management of Pest Mosquitoes at the Agro-urban Interface, Santa Cruz Valley, Arizona. Abstract: The world’s largest irrigated pecan orchard is located adjacent to one of the largest retirement communities: Green Valley, Arizona. Flood irrigation of the pecans produced huge numbers of mosquitoes (Aedes vexans and Psorophora columbiae) that invaded the retirement community and engendered complaints to the local health department. Threats of an injunction against irrigation and subsequent loss of the area’s primary industry that provided jobs for several hundred people loomed as a possibility. The usual sequence for the farmers was: irrigate, wait for complaints, spray with malathion or other insecticide, and then irrigate again. This resulted in the farm laborers enduring up to 100 mosquito bites per minute, with more annoying mosquitoes developing throughout the summer, and increased numbers of insecticide resistant pecan aphids, the only agricultural pest, due to the loss of natural control by predators and disease. I conducted the first large-scale agricultural tests of a new mosquito- specific insecticide, the bacterial product Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Today, that material is the leading mosquito control agent in the world. I developed an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program based on use of Bti and water management that could be applied inexpensively by farm laborers. That program caused a drop to less than one bite per person per day for farm workers, an end of complaints, and happy farmers and residents. 
M.S. 1981 Biology. University of Nevada, Las Vegas. 
Thesis: Mammals of the Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley National Monument. Abstract: The Grapevine Mountains is a largely wilderness area of approximately 500 square miles that forms the northeast corner of Death Valley National Park. Elevations range from -120 to + 8,700 feet above sea level, and the range has six major biotic communities, riparian and spring communities and many old mines. I conducted a survey of the mammals using live and snap trapping, tracking, bat netting, aerial survey, exploring inactive mines for their use and suitability as habitats for bats and other wildlife species, and time-lapse movie photography. A total of 42 species were recorded. Trapping included 4,937 trap-nights for rodents, using both live and snap traps. A total of 854 individuals of 16 species were caught, and 413 specimens were prepared and deposited in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley. My thesis was published as part of the National Park Service Technical Reports Series. I also prepared, with my major professor Dr. C. L. Douglas, a report titled: Bighorn Habitat Evaluation and Management Guidelines for the Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley National Monument. 
B.A. 1972 Biology. Prescott College, Prescott, Arizona. 
Thesis: Natural History of the Prescott College Campus. I investigated, collected specimens for, then wrote and illustrated (with line drawings) a field guide to the plants and animals of a 640- acre area of pinon-juniper woodland and grassland. This site was the campus of the college, so I included observations on the impacts of human activities on the natural world., as well as migration seasons for birds, ethnobiological uses, and plant phenology.

SELECTED REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS 
Invertebrate Surveys and Studies 
Common, Conspicuous, and Curious Arthropods of Cedar Breaks National Monument. 2013. As a volunteer, conducted a photographic survey and prepared a report for Monument staff and potential publication. 
Arthropods of Great Basin National Park. 2012. As a volunteer, conducted a collection and photograph based survey of arthropods. Organized and updated an existing insect collection. Coordinated input from other researchers and integrated their specimens into the Park collection. Participated in Bioblitz programs for four years, including assisting with recruiting leaders and participants, coordinating efforts, leading VIPs on field trips. Collaborated on poster presented at George Wright Society meeting. 
Common, Conspicuous, and Curious Arthropods of Zion National Park. 2008. As a volunteer, I reviewed the catalog of specimens and existing literature, conducted field surveys, compiled photographs from the field and internet, and wrote a book and intranet resource on the the insects and other arthropods of the park for the interpretive staff. 
Butterfly Habitat Assessment. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is located in southern Nevada, close to the rapidly developing city of Las Vegas. Eight taxa of butterflies are endemic to the Spring Mountains, and are subjects of a conservation agreement between the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Four species have been identified as priorities for conservation: The Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis), Morand’s checkerspot (Euphydryas anicia morandi), Spring Mountains Acastus Checkerspot (Chlosyne acastus robusta), and Spring Mountains Dark Blue Butterfly (Euphilotes enoptes purpura). I conducted habitat assessments for portions of a planned new multi-use trail, identifying, mapping, and counting known food plants of the butterflies. The purpose of this study was to mitigate potential impacts to butterfly habitat. This assessment was conducted during a severe drought year, and few of the butterfly host plants, and none of the

butterflies were found. One species of known host plant (Astragalus calycosus, a host of the Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly) was determined to be very widespread in its distribution, and thriving in sites that had been disturbed by human and wild burro activity, but that were outside the known distribution range of the butterfly. I submitted a written report (Butterfly Habitat Assessment for the Blue Tree Trail, Catch Pen And Rocky Gorge Segments Realignments) and PowerPoint presentation. 
Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly Surveys. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. I conducted surveys for the Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis), a taxon that has been petitioned for listing as an endangered species, for the purpose of developing a better understanding of the distribution and ecology of this species. This butterfly is endemic to the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada, is subject to a Conservation Agreement between the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the Clark County Multiple Species Conservation Plan, and has been petitioned for listing as an endangered species. Previous records of this butterfly were predominantly from a ski run, which was alleged to be an important key habitat for the butterfly, and it was alleged that the butterfly had only one species of host plant which was considered to be of very limited distribution and highly sensitive to disturbance by human activities. However, one report from 1995 described this butterfly and its host plant as widespread, but generally found at high elevation areas that are difficult for people to access. The butterfly is a named subspecies of a widespread species that is primarily found at high elevations in mountain meadows, where it is known to feed on at least 14 species of plants. By hiking repeatedly to the highest elevations in the Spring Mountains and searching for butterflies and host plants, I documented distribution of Mount Charleston Blue butterflies and potential habitat for them that greatly exceeded the previously known range. I documented presence and general distribution of six species of plants in the Spring Mountains that are known to be food plants for the butterfly species elsewhere in its range. At areas where butterflies had previously been located most frequently, conditions for the growth of the food plant appear to be dependent upon disturbance by human activities. I examined the literature on butterfly and host plant ecology and prepared a report that included findings and suggestions for future efforts (Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis): Observations and Speculations – 2007). I made suggestions for further investigation and hypotheses to be tested, and recommended that a minimum of a detailed two-year study of the autecology of the butterfly be conducted before a decision on whether or not it should be listed as endangered could be supported. In addition, I prepared a teaching collection of butterflies for training Forest Service personnel. For this and his other volunteer work, I received the Volunteer of the Year award by Get Outdoors Nevada, an interagency volunteer network. 
Springsnail Status Monitoring. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. Springsnails of the genus Pyrgulopsis include many highly endemic species, often limited in distribution to only one or a handful of springs. They are minute, cryptic, often difficult to access, and poorly known. Two species of springsnails (P. deaconi and P. turbatrix) have been documented as occurring at several springs that are under management jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. The Forest Service was committed to periodic monitoring of these populations at five springs, but had not been able to do so since 1998 because of a lack of trained personnel. I visited each of the springs and documented the presence of snails and current conditions in a detailed report (Springsnail Status Monitoring 2007, Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, Humboldt- Toiyabe National Forest) that will serve as a basis for further periodic monitoring.

Bioassessment of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates. For ASARCO, Inc. 1998-2006. I developed a protocol and conducted annual surveys and analysis of aquatic macroinvertebrates in Mineral Creek, above and below a mining operation to assist ASARCO, Inc. in compliance with its NPDES permit. I collected samples of invertebrates using a timed kick net method, and analyzed the results statistically using standard EPA analysis methods. I prepared annual reports on this work. I documented appreciable improvements in the macroinvertebrate community as a result of the pollution control effort. I was invited as an expert participant in the EPA sponsored workshop: Arid Southwestern Streams Biological Condition Gradient and Tiered Aquatic Life Uses held in Tempe, Arizona, February 7-10, 2005. 
Behavioral Ecology and Conservation Biology of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly. For San Bernardino (California) County. 1995-1999. The Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (DSFF) is the only fly listed as an endangered species, and it is probably the most controversial species covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Most if its former habitat, which was a small area in southern California, has been converted to urban or industrial uses. The best remnant of habitat remaining was in the path of development of the parking lot of a large county hospital in Colton. Working for San Bernardino County, I delineated the potential habitat and created the first Fly Preserve, which enabled the County to build the hospital in compliance with the ESA. I was the principal investigator for a five-year study of the DSFF on the preserve, to develop an understanding of the resource needs and conservation biology of the DSFF, and to evaluate the efficacy of the preserve. The fly is active during a period of generally five or six weeks in late summer, at temperatures above 100 degrees F. It is cryptic when at rest, and capable of flight speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. I developed methods for studying DSFF distribution, behavior, and resource use. I trained and supervised a field crew, analyzed data on more than 11,000 observations of fly behavior and resource use, and wrote annual reports. I published peer-reviewed papers (K.J. Kingsley. 2002. Population Dynamics, Resource Use, and Conservation Needs of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis Cazier) (Diptera: Mydidae), an Endangered Species. Journal of Insect Conservation 6: 93-101 and K.J. Kingsley. 1996. Behavior of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Diptera: Mydidae), a Little-known Endangered Species. Annals of the Entomological Society of America 89: 883-891). For this work, I was awarded the Forgotten Pollinators Award from the Xerces Society and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. I presented a paper on this research to the annual meeting of the Society for Ecological Restoration, and was invited to participate in an international symposium at the University of California, Riverside. 
Conservation Agreement for the San Xavier Talus Snail. For Arizona Electric Power Cooperative. 1998. I evaluated the draft of conservation agreement for the protection of this snail, which is known only from a small area adjacent to a microwave tower and access road. I visited the site and assessed the potential effects of the agreement on the snail and the maintenance needs for the road and tower. I advised the client on terms of the agreement. 
Invertebrates of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. For U.S. National Park Service. 1987-1990. I conducted a three-year study on the ecology of invertebrates of this National Monument in southern Arizona, as part of a multidisciplinary 14-project Sensitive Ecosystems Program. I trained and managed two teams of researchers and developed methodology for observing and collecting invertebrates at 16 ecologically distinct sites. I collected and curated more than 4,200 specimens representing over 1,200 taxa, preparing them as the basis for the research collection of the Monument. I developed a computer database on over 5,000 observations, and wrote quarterly and summary reports and monitoring protocols. The final report was published (K.J. Kingsley. 1998. Invertebrates of Organ Pipe Cactus National

Monument, Arizona. Technical Report No. 60. U.S. Geological Survey. Cooperative Park Studies Unit. University of Arizona. 187 pp.). 
Grasshoppers and Butterflies as Indicator Species Evaluation. For U.S. National Park Service. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. 1985-1987. Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae and Tettigoniidae) and butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Libytheidae, and Nymphalidae) were collected and observed at the Quitobaquito Management Area in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona. Nine field trips were taken to the area over a period of two years. A technical report was prepared (K.J. Kingsley and R.A. Bailowitz. 1987. Grasshoppers and Butterflies of the Quitobaquito Management Area, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona. National Park Service/University of Arizona Tech. Rep. No. 21 CPSU Contrib. 055/01. Tucson, Arizona 24 pp.). Seventeen species of Orthoptera and 52 species of Lepidoptera were found. Species accounts, including food plants, microhabitat selection, relative abundance and constancy, and information on the role in the ecosystem and relationship to human activity, where appropriate, were reported for each species. The area is recovering from intensive human use for many years, including small scale agriculture and grazing by cattle. It includes a high degree of diversity of plants and microhabitats, and the diversity of grasshoppers and butterflies reflects this history and diversity. The area supports a diverse resident community of grasshoppers and butterflies and is also an important stop-over area for transient butterflies. No apparent threats to the insect community were discovered. The insect community itself creates little or no problem for management consideration, with the possible exception of grasshopper feeding causing slight retardation of recovery from overgrazing. 
Aquatic Fauna of Minor Tributaries of the Colorado River. For U.S. National Park Service, Grand Canyon National Park. 1982-1986. Conducted original investigation of ecology of invertebrates and vertebrates in rock pools and small streams along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. This study required participating in multi-disciplinary research river trips for 21 days each year, and investigating biota of aquatic ecosystems of several dozen side canyons that included springs, interrupted streams, and rock basins. The study was conducted over a range of rainfall years, from extreme drought to severe flooding, and contrasted the effects on fauna of the different aquatic systems and rainfall amounts. 
Arthropod Fauna of Quitobaquito Springs Management Area. For U.S. National Park Service, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. 1983-1984. Conducted a two-year survey of arthropod fauna of a desert oasis using a variety of techniques for terrestrial and aquatic species. Published Technical Report. 
Cave and Karst Invertebrates Studies and Plans 
Cave Preserve Management and Monitoring Plans. For Bexar County (Texas) Cave Conservation Coalition. 1992-2000. Designed and wrote pilot plans for preserving and monitoring caves known to contain endangered invertebrates. Conducted surveys in caves and above ground to evaluate conditions and presence of species of concern. Delineated areas to preserve by fencing and designed plans for monitoring and fire ant control. Presented a talk and published a paper in a symposium on cave conservation. 
Conservation Agreement for Cave Invertebrates. For Bexar County Cave Conservation Coalition and Fulbright & Jaworski. 1996. In collaboration with legal experts, prepared working draft of a conservation agreement and strategy to absolve the need to list species of cave

invertebrates as endangered. Served as member of technical team, working with US Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials, in developing agreement and strategy. Presented a talk and published a paper in a symposium on cave conservation. 
Proposed Endangered Species Evaluation. For Bexar County Cave Conservation Coalition and Fulbright & Jaworski. 1994. Compiled detailed reviews of known information on the distribution and ecology of karst invertebrates and advised coalition of landowners on protection of species petitioned for listing as endangered. 
Endangered Hawaiian Invertebrates Survey. For Ka'upulehu Developments. 1994. Investigated 36 lava tubes (caves) on the island of Hawaii for suitable habitat and presence of invertebrates of special concern on 2,000-acre site. Documented presence of non-native invertebrate species in most tubes. In this area, all lava tubes of sufficient size were used as burial sites by ancient Hawaiians, so conducting this survey required extreme care not to disturb important cultural artifacts and graves. Received a letter of commendation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for exemplary work in conservation of Hawaiian species. 
Multiple Taxa Surveys and Studies 
Preliminary Inventory of Wildlife Species for Posey Well, San Simon, Arizona. For U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). 2006. A wildlife habitat improvement project is planned to be conducted by the BLM at a 60-acre site known as Posey Well near San Simon, Cochise County, Arizona. A pre- and post- project inventory of wildlife species is needed to document the potential impacts of the proposed project. I conducted a pre-project inventory of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants present and detectable under conditions at the time of the inventory, 5-7 April, 2006, and prepared a report documenting findings. The site has four distinct biological communities. Plants were identified to species, when possible under existing conditions, and notes on relative abundance, condition of population, and utilization by wildlife were compiled. The relevé method by ocular estimate, using the scale of Braun-Blanquet, was used to record stratum and abundance (as related to cover) of plants that could be identified readily in the field. Live trapping for rodents was done along transect lines through each community. Pitfall trap arrays for reptiles were placed in each community. Mist netting, ultrasonic bat detectors, and night vision scope observations were used for bats. Transect counts and point counts were used for birds. Standing water was visually examined for aquatic organisms. 
Biological Considerations and Opportunities for the A7 Ranch Property near Redington in Pima and Cochise Counties, Arizona. For City of Tucson. 2002. The City of Tucson became the owner of an approximately 41,094 acre ranch. I prepared a report that summarizes observations and available information on the A7 Ranch with regard to wildlife and plant species that are considered special status species. Species considered (11 plants, 16 invertebrates, 9 fish, 2 amphibians, 9 reptiles, 20 birds, and 13 mammals) were those that are currently listed, proposed, or candidates for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA); species considered as Wildlife Species of Special Concern In Arizona (WSCA) by the Arizona Game and Fish Department that are known to occur in the general area of the A7 Ranch; species included as Priority Vulnerable Species in Pima County’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan; and species considered Sensitive by the U.S. Forest Service. The report was prepared at the request of the City of Tucson to support decisions that might be made in evaluating the future ownership and management of the A7 Ranch property. It includes a review of potential

opportunities for mitigation and habitat enhancement for the species considered as potentially occurring on the property. 
Ecological Constraints and Opportunities for Molokai Ranch, Molokai, Hawaii. For Molokai Ranch, Ltd. 1995. I conducted a general survey of a 50,000-acre ranch, with focus on water lines and intakes, for threatened and endangered species. I compiled data on 65 special status species of plants and animals and potential impacts to them. I hiked along the entire route of a 10-mile water line from the top (3,000+ feet elevation) of the island to the west coast, and evaluated occurrence of native plants and animals. I wrote a report that evaluated potential constraints to development, environmental laws and concerns that must be a factor, and potential opportunities for beneficial actions for developing ranch land and activities.

Mammal Surveys and Studies 
Status Review of Merriam’s Mouse (Peromyscus merriami) in Pima County. For Pima County Flood Control District. 2004-2005. Merriam’s Mouse was being considered for potential listing as an endangered species because of alleged habitat destruction by human activities. I collaborated with the County to prepare and submit a successful grant application to the Arizona Natural Heritage Program, administered by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The study involved examination of specimens and field notes of collectors, review of data on specimens in museums, evaluation of existing habitat potential at the sites where the species has been historically found, selection of potential locations for further study, and live-trapping at 19 selected sites to determine whether the species is still present. Samples were collected for DNA analysis. I found that this species is widespread and not rare, is found in a variety of mesquite- dominated habitats, and is still present at or near locations where it was historically found throughout its geographic range. However, it is extremely difficult to identify, and very few people have the expertise to identify it positively. 
Bat Surveys. For various mining companies and other clients. Continuing since 1978, I conducted surveys of inactive mine sites for bats that use them as roosts. Surveyed several hundred inactive mines for use by bats in Arizona, Nevada, and California. This included complete surveys of all adits that were safe enough to enter, and twilight watches at unsafe sites using night vision apparatus and ultrasonic bat detectors, including the ANABAT system. It also included a structural evaluation of an inactive mine known to be used by bats, and advising engineers on approaches to ensure the long-term stability of the site without adversely impacting bats.

Museum and Curatorial Experience 
Natural History Museum, Zion National Park. 2009. I worked two days a week as a GS-7 Museum Technician for the summer of 2009. My primary task was to identify and catalog a collection of 2,479 insects that were obtained incidental to a major study of bees conducted by the USDA Bee Research Laboratory in 2006 and 2007. Insects that were not bees were separated from the bees, pinned, rough-sorted, and packed in storage boxes. I identified them to family, with many to genus or species, and cataloged them using the National Park Service database cataloging system Re:Discovery for the NPS (ANCS+). I also trained and supervised another volunteer to work with the mammal and bird collections, including examining specimens for pest infestation, treatment of infested specimens, preparation of updated labels, and updating information in the electronic catalog. 
Natural History Museum, Zion National Park. In 2008, the Zion Natural History Museum moved from quarters it had occupied for 40 years to new, state-of-the-art facilities. I conducted an inventory, packed, and moved several thousand natural history specimens of plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Most of the specimens were collected as vouchers more than 70 years ago to document the species present in the Park. I examined each specimen to evaluate condition, checked names and spelling in the catalog and specimens, packed for freezing to kill any museum pests and moving to the new museum, unpacked the specimens and arranged them in their new home. I also updated names that have been changed by taxonomic revisions, and replaced fluids in all fluid-preserved specimens. 
Archaeology Research Collection, SWCA Environmental Consultants. SWCA is a consulting firm specializing in cultural and natural resource investigations. The cultural resources branch incorporates a collection of thousands of archeological artifacts on temporary status while being held for analysis and final disposition. During the years I spent with SWCA, the Tucson office moved three times. As part of the moving team, I assisted by transporting and keeping track of artifacts ranging from feathers to matates. Each time, the entire office and lab was moved over a single weekend, with no need to close during regular business hours and no loss of or damage to artifacts.

Mammals of the Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley National Monument. For my M.S. thesis, I conducted a classic-style mammal survey of the Grapevine Mountains. I collected and prepared 413 specimens as skins and/or skeletons and deposited them, along with a full set of notes, in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley. 
Insect Museum, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As a graduate research and teaching assistant, I curated the entomology collection. Most of this work was integrating specimens collected by students into the collection. This required remounting, identification, relabeling, recording data, and positioning in the collection. I also changed fluids on fluid-preserved specimens, and fumigated the dried collection. I updated and maintained the specimen data file and prepared a hands-on teaching collection. 
Natural History Museum, The Wickenburg Inn, Wickenburg, Arizona. As naturalist for this resort, I designed and built a small museum for guests. This included building furniture, such as display cases for living and preserved specimens, bookshelves, work tables, and cabinets. On display were a working and teaching herbarium of several hundred plant specimens, rotating displays of plants in bloom, live small animals including snakes, preserved specimens of insects, skulls, and curiosities, a lending library, and photographs. All exhibits were labeled in English, Spanish, German, and French because the clientele was international. 
Prescott College, Prescott, Arizona. As a research and teaching assistant, I worked in the ornithology lab and the herbarium. I collected and prepared specimens of birds, including skins, feathers, and skeletons. I performed the initial sort to taxonomic Class of faunal remains from a major archaeological and paleontological excavation at Stanton’s Cave in the Grand Canyon, which included over 100,000 bones. I identified bird bones from that excavation to species, and labeled and documented them. I recorded data on, packaged, and prepared chain-of-custody forms for the specimens of other taxonomic Classes. I also curated the herbarium, which involved identifying and mounting specimens and integrating student collections into the research collection.

Dissertation: Bionomics and Management of Pest Mosquitoes at the Agro-urban Interface, Santa Cruz Valley, Arizona. Abstract: The world’s largest irrigated pecan orchard is located adjacent to one of the largest retirement communities: Green Valley, Arizona. Flood irrigation of the pecans produced huge numbers of mosquitoes (Aedes vexans and Psorophora columbiae) that invaded the retirement community and engendered complaints to the local health department. Threats of an injunction against irrigation and subsequent loss of the area’s primary industry that provided jobs for several hundred people loomed as a possibility. The usual sequence for the farmers was: irrigate, wait for complaints, spray with malathion or other insecticide, and then irrigate again. This resulted in the farm laborers enduring up to 100 mosquito bites per minute, with more annoying mosquitoes developing throughout the summer, and increased numbers of insecticide resistant pecan aphids, the only agricultural pest, due to the loss of natural control by predators and disease. I conducted the first large-scale agricultural tests of a new mosquito- specific insecticide, the bacterial product Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). Today, that material is the leading mosquito control agent in the world. I developed an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program based on use of Bti and water management that could be applied inexpensively by farm laborers. That program caused a drop to less than one bite per person per day for farm workers, an end of complaints, and happy farmers and residents. M.S. 1981 Biology. University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Thesis: Mammals of the Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley National Monument. Abstract: The Grapevine Mountains is a largely wilderness area of approximately 500 square miles that forms the northeast corner of Death Valley National Park. Elevations range from -120 to + 8,700 feet above sea level, and the range has six major biotic communities, riparian and spring communities and many old mines. I conducted a survey of the mammals using live and snap trapping, tracking, bat netting, aerial survey, exploring inactive mines for their use and suitability as habitats for bats and other wildlife species, and time-lapse movie photography. A total of 42 species were recorded. Trapping included 4,937 trap-nights for rodents, using both live and snap traps. A total of 854 individuals of 16 species were caught, and 413 specimens were prepared and deposited in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley. My thesis was published as part of the National Park Service Technical Reports Series. I also prepared, with my major professor Dr. C. L. Douglas, a report titled: Bighorn Habitat Evaluation and Management Guidelines for the Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley National Monument. B.A. 1972 Biology. Prescott College, Prescott, Arizona. Thesis: Natural History of the Prescott College Campus. I investigated, collected specimens for, then wrote and illustrated (with line drawings) a field guide to the plants and animals of a 640- acre area of pinon-juniper woodland and grassland. This site was the campus of the college, so I included observations on the impacts of human activities on the natural world., as well as migration seasons for birds, ethnobiological uses, and plant phenology.

Butterfly Habitat Assessment. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is located in southern Nevada, close to the rapidly developing city of Las Vegas. Eight taxa of butterflies are endemic to the Spring Mountains, and are subjects of a conservation agreement between the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Four species have been identified as priorities for conservation: The Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis), Morand’s checkerspot (Euphydryas anicia morandi), Spring Mountains Acastus Checkerspot (Chlosyne acastus robusta), and Spring Mountains Dark Blue Butterfly (Euphilotes enoptes purpura). I conducted habitat assessments for portions of a planned new multi-use trail, identifying, mapping, and counting known food plants of the butterflies. The purpose of this study was to mitigate potential impacts to butterfly habitat. This assessment was conducted during a severe drought year, and few of the butterfly host plants, and none of the
  • 7. Curriculum Vitae of Kenneth J. Kingsley, page 7 7 butterflies were found. One species of known host plant (Astragalus calycosus, a host of the Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly) was determined to be very widespread in its distribution, and thriving in sites that had been disturbed by human and wild burro activity, but that were outside the known distribution range of the butterfly. I submitted a written report (Butterfly Habitat Assessment for the Blue Tree Trail, Catch Pen And Rocky Gorge Segments Realignments) and PowerPoint presentation. Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly Surveys. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. I conducted surveys for the Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis), a taxon that has been petitioned for listing as an endangered species, for the purpose of developing a better understanding of the distribution and ecology of this species. This butterfly is endemic to the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada, is subject to a Conservation Agreement between the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the Clark County Multiple Species Conservation Plan, and has been petitioned for listing as an endangered species. Previous records of this butterfly were predominantly from a ski run, which was alleged to be an important key habitat for the butterfly, and it was alleged that the butterfly had only one species of host plant which was considered to be of very limited distribution and highly sensitive to disturbance by human activities. However, one report from 1995 described this butterfly and its host plant as widespread, but generally found at high elevation areas that are difficult for people to access. The butterfly is a named subspecies of a widespread species that is primarily found at high elevations in mountain meadows, where it is known to feed on at least 14 species of plants. By hiking repeatedly to the highest elevations in the Spring Mountains and searching for butterflies and host plants, I documented distribution of Mount Charleston Blue butterflies and potential habitat for them that greatly exceeded the previously known range. I documented presence and general distribution of six species of plants in the Spring Mountains that are known to be food plants for the butterfly species elsewhere in its range. At areas where butterflies had previously been located most frequently, conditions for the growth of the food plant appear to be dependent upon disturbance by human activities. I examined the literature on butterfly and host plant ecology and prepared a report that included findings and suggestions for future efforts (Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly (Icaricia shasta charlestonensis): Observations and Speculations – 2007). I made suggestions for further investigation and hypotheses to be tested, and recommended that a minimum of a detailed two-year study of the autecology of the butterfly be conducted before a decision on whether or not it should be listed as endangered could be supported. In addition, I prepared a teaching collection of butterflies for training Forest Service personnel. For this and his other volunteer work, I received the Volunteer of the Year award by Get Outdoors Nevada, an interagency volunteer network. Springsnail Status Monitoring. As a volunteer for Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, U.S. Forest Service. 2007. Springsnails of the genus Pyrgulopsis include many highly endemic species, often limited in distribution to only one or a handful of springs. They are minute, cryptic, often difficult to access, and poorly known. Two species of springsnails (P. deaconi and P. turbatrix) have been documented as occurring at several springs that are under management jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. The Forest Service was committed to periodic monitoring of these populations at five springs, but had not been able to do so since 1998 because of a lack of trained personnel. I visited each of the springs and documented the presence of snails and current conditions in a detailed report (Springsnail Status Monitoring 2007, Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, Humboldt- Toiyabe National Forest) that will serve as a basis for further periodic monitoring.
  • 8. Curriculum Vitae of Kenneth J. Kingsley, page 8 8 Bioassessment of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates. For ASARCO, Inc. 1998-2006. I developed a protocol and conducted annual surveys and analysis of aquatic macroinvertebrates in Mineral Creek, above and below a mining operation to assist ASARCO, Inc. in compliance with its NPDES permit. I collected samples of invertebrates using a timed kick net method, and analyzed the results statistically using standard EPA analysis methods. I prepared annual reports on this work. I documented appreciable improvements in the macroinvertebrate community as a result of the pollution control effort. I was invited as an expert participant in the EPA sponsored workshop: Arid Southwestern Streams Biological Condition Gradient and Tiered Aquatic Life Uses held in Tempe, Arizona, February 7-10, 2005. Behavioral Ecology and Conservation Biology of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly. For San Bernardino (California) County. 1995-1999. The Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (DSFF) is the only fly listed as an endangered species, and it is probably the most controversial species covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Most if its former habitat, which was a small area in southern California, has been converted to urban or industrial uses. The best remnant of habitat remaining was in the path of development of the parking lot of a large county hospital in Colton. Working for San Bernardino County, I delineated the potential habitat and created the first Fly Preserve, which enabled the County to build the hospital in compliance with the ESA. I was the principal investigator for a five-year study of the DSFF on the preserve, to develop an understanding of the resource needs and conservation biology of the DSFF, and to evaluate the efficacy of the preserve. The fly is active during a period of generally five or six weeks in late summer, at temperatures above 100 degrees F. It is cryptic when at rest, and capable of flight speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. I developed methods for studying DSFF distribution, behavior, and resource use. I trained and supervised a field crew, analyzed data on more than 11,000 observations of fly behavior and resource use, and wrote annual reports. I published peer-reviewed papers (K.J. Kingsley. 2002. Population Dynamics, Resource Use, and Conservation Needs of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis Cazier) (Diptera: Mydidae), an Endangered Species. Journal of Insect Conservation 6: 93-101 and K.J. Kingsley. 1996. Behavior of the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Diptera: Mydidae), a Little-known Endangered Species. Annals of the Entomological Society of America 89: 883-891). For this work, I was awarded the Forgotten Pollinators Award from the Xerces Society and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. I presented a paper on this research to the annual meeting of the Society for Ecological Restoration, and was invited to participate in an international symposium at the University of California, Riverside. Conservation Agreement for the San Xavier Talus Snail. For Arizona Electric Power Cooperative. 1998. I evaluated the draft of conservation agreement for the protection of this snail, which is known only from a small area adjacent to a microwave tower and access road. I visited the site and assessed the potential effects of the agreement on the snail and the maintenance needs for the road and tower. I advised the client on terms of the agreement. Invertebrates of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. For U.S. National Park Service. 1987-1990. I conducted a three-year study on the ecology of invertebrates of this National Monument in southern Arizona, as part of a multidisciplinary 14-project Sensitive Ecosystems Program. I trained and managed two teams of researchers and developed methodology for observing and collecting invertebrates at 16 ecologically distinct sites. I collected and curated more than 4,200 specimens representing over 1,200 taxa, preparing them as the basis for the research collection of the Monument. I developed a computer database on over 5,000 observations, and wrote quarterly and summary reports and monitoring protocols. The final report was published (K.J. Kingsley. 1998. Invertebrates of Organ Pipe Cactus National

Grasshoppers and Butterflies as Indicator Species Evaluation. For U.S. National Park Service. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. 1985-1987. Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae and Tettigoniidae) and butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Libytheidae, and Nymphalidae) were collected and observed at the Quitobaquito Management Area in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona. Nine field trips were taken to the area over a period of two years. A technical report was prepared (K.J. Kingsley and R.A. Bailowitz. 1987. Grasshoppers and Butterflies of the Quitobaquito Management Area, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Arizona. National Park Service/University of Arizona Tech. Rep. No. 21 CPSU Contrib. 055/01. Tucson, Arizona 24 pp.). Seventeen species of Orthoptera and 52 species of Lepidoptera were found. Species accounts, including food plants, microhabitat selection, relative abundance and constancy, and information on the role in the ecosystem and relationship to human activity, where appropriate, were reported for each species. The area is recovering from intensive human use for many years, including small scale agriculture and grazing by cattle. It includes a high degree of diversity of plants and microhabitats, and the diversity of grasshoppers and butterflies reflects this history and diversity. The area supports a diverse resident community of grasshoppers and butterflies and is also an important stop-over area for transient butterflies. No apparent threats to the insect community were discovered. The insect community itself creates little or no problem for management consideration, with the possible exception of grasshopper feeding causing slight retardation of recovery from overgrazing. Aquatic Fauna of Minor Tributaries of the Colorado River. For U.S. National Park Service, Grand Canyon National Park. 1982-1986. Conducted original investigation of ecology of invertebrates and vertebrates in rock pools and small streams along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. This study required participating in multi-disciplinary research river trips for 21 days each year, and investigating biota of aquatic ecosystems of several dozen side canyons that included springs, interrupted streams, and rock basins. The study was conducted over a range of rainfall years, from extreme drought to severe flooding, and contrasted the effects on fauna of the different aquatic systems and rainfall amounts. Arthropod Fauna of Quitobaquito Springs Management Area. For U.S. National Park Service, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. 1983-1984. Conducted a two-year survey of arthropod fauna of a desert oasis using a variety of techniques for terrestrial and aquatic species. Published Technical Report.

Compiled detailed reviews of known information on the distribution and ecology of karst invertebrates and advised coalition of landowners on protection of species petitioned for listing as endangered. Endangered Hawaiian Invertebrates Survey. For Ka'upulehu Developments. 1994. Investigated 36 lava tubes (caves) on the island of Hawaii for suitable habitat and presence of invertebrates of special concern on 2,000-acre site. Documented presence of non-native invertebrate species in most tubes. In this area, all lava tubes of sufficient size were used as burial sites by ancient Hawaiians, so conducting this survey required extreme care not to disturb important cultural artifacts and graves. Received a letter of commendation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for exemplary work in conservation of Hawaiian species. Multiple Taxa Surveys and Studies Preliminary Inventory of Wildlife Species for Posey Well, San Simon, Arizona. For U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). 2006. A wildlife habitat improvement project is planned to be conducted by the BLM at a 60-acre site known as Posey Well near San Simon, Cochise County, Arizona. A pre- and post- project inventory of wildlife species is needed to document the potential impacts of the proposed project. I conducted a pre-project inventory of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants present and detectable under conditions at the time of the inventory, 5-7 April, 2006, and prepared a report documenting findings. The site has four distinct biological communities. Plants were identified to species, when possible under existing conditions, and notes on relative abundance, condition of population, and utilization by wildlife were compiled. The relevé method by ocular estimate, using the scale of Braun-Blanquet, was used to record stratum and abundance (as related to cover) of plants that could be identified readily in the field. Live trapping for rodents was done along transect lines through each community. Pitfall trap arrays for reptiles were placed in each community. Mist netting, ultrasonic bat detectors, and night vision scope observations were used for bats. Transect counts and point counts were used for birds. Standing water was visually examined for aquatic organisms. Biological Considerations and Opportunities for the A7 Ranch Property near Redington in Pima and Cochise Counties, Arizona. For City of Tucson. 2002. The City of Tucson became the owner of an approximately 41,094 acre ranch. I prepared a report that summarizes observations and available information on the A7 Ranch with regard to wildlife and plant species that are considered special status species. Species considered (11 plants, 16 invertebrates, 9 fish, 2 amphibians, 9 reptiles, 20 birds, and 13 mammals) were those that are currently listed, proposed, or candidates for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA); species considered as Wildlife Species of Special Concern In Arizona (WSCA) by the Arizona Game and Fish Department that are known to occur in the general area of the A7 Ranch; species included as Priority Vulnerable Species in Pima County’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan; and species considered Sensitive by the U.S. Forest Service. The report was prepared at the request of the City of Tucson to support decisions that might be made in evaluating the future ownership and management of the A7 Ranch property. It includes a review of potential

Ecological Constraints and Opportunities for Molokai Ranch, Molokai, Hawaii. For Molokai Ranch, Ltd. 1995. I conducted a general survey of a 50,000-acre ranch, with focus on water lines and intakes, for threatened and endangered species. I compiled data on 65 special status species of plants and animals and potential impacts to them. I hiked along the entire route of a 10-mile water line from the top (3,000+ feet elevation) of the island to the west coast, and evaluated occurrence of native plants and animals. I wrote a report that evaluated potential constraints to development, environmental laws and concerns that must be a factor, and potential opportunities for beneficial actions for developing ranch land and activities. Biological Evaluation of the Apache-Hayden Transmission Line. For Arizona Electric Power Cooperative. 1996. Conducted survey and review for 67 special status species of plants and animals, prepared vegetation map, and wrote report that reviewed potential environmental issues for 90-mile power transmission line. Bird Surveys and Studies Weekly Waterfowl Counts. As a volunteer in 2010, I was part of a team that conducted weekly counts of waterfowl and shorebirds for eight weeks at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge in south Texas. This refuge is an important wintering area for North American waterfowl. Each count during the peak of the season required identification and tallying over 10,000 waterfowl of many species, with the numbers and species changing each week.
