Sand-verbena moth (Copablepharon fuscum) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 15
The ongoing direction, interest and comments of Jim Troubridge (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) were critical for this report.
Jeremy Tatum (University of Victoria) generously provided his excellent photographs for inclusion in the report. Dorrie Woodward provided her observations on C. fuscum sampling. A variety of organizations provided access to their lands for sampling including BC Parks, Parks Canada, Capital Regional District Parks, Washington State Parks, US Fish and Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy and the US National Parks Service.
Karen Golinski and Theresa Fowler (Canadian Wildlife Service) provided comments on an initial draft of the report. Theresa Fowler also edited the report.
Funding for the preparation of this status report was provided by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada.
