Appendix 9, Wildlife Abundance and Occurrence Codes Page 4 of 4 REPTILES CATEGORY DEFINITION Common IO or more individual adults can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in 75-100% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Fairly Common 5 to 10 individual adults can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in 50-75% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Locally Common 10 or more individual adults can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in 0-33% of sites surveyed in a single day by standard techni ues and in a ro riate seasons and habitats. Sparsely Common 1 individual adult can usually be observed in 67-100% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Uncommon Fewer than 5 individual adults can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in less than 50% of areas surveyed in a single day by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Rare Fewer than 5 individual adults can usually be observed, and the species can usually be found in less than 50% of areas surveyed in a single season by standard techniques and in appropriate seasons and habitats. Ve Rare Fewer than 10 records (including all historic records) for the state. Extirpated Known to have historically occurred, but known to no longer be present in a natural and free roaming condition. Unknown Can not be placed in any of the abundance categories above due to lack of information. 2-Dimensional Depiction of Amphibian and Reptile Abundance Classes 0-33% of Sites 34-66% of Sites 67-100% of Sites lOIndividual/Sites Locall Common Fairl Common Common 2-lOIndividuals/Sites Uncommon Fairl Common Fairl Common 1 Individual/Site Rare Uncommon Sparsely Common Note: Above table created by Hammerson to more easily depict Abundance Criteria.
