Definition of Status Catagories: TH - Threatened, Species that are likely to become endangered in the state within the foreseeable future if current trends continue. LS = Listed as Species of Special Concern by the FGFWFC. Defined as a population which warrants special protection, recognition, or consideration because it has an inherent significant vulnerability to habitat modification, environmental alteration, human disturbance, or substantial human exploitation which, in the foreseeable future, may result in its becoming a threatened species.
R - Rare, Species that, although not presently endangered or threatened, are potentially at risk because they are found only within a restricted geographic area or habitat in the state or are sparsely distributed over a more extensive range.
