Wisconsin’s Strategy for Wildlife Species of Greatest Conservation Need could open their properties to inventory efforts, field workers could collect specimens incidental to their work, organizations could fund and publish taxonomic works). • Consideration should be given to producing interactive computer-based “expert” systems, simultaneously with printed keys/references so that the accuracy of identification by nonspecialists can be improved. • Further define what we need to know to conserve invertebrates (e.g., additional aspects of life history, genetics, etc.) and better determine what we already do know (e.g., consolidate available information on individual or groups of Species of Greatest Conservation Need). • Refine methodologies for assessing status and conservation priorities for invertebrate species. • Additional attention should be focused on groups for which adequate taxonomic references do not exist and for which little zoogeographical or life history information is available. • Develop management guidelines and best management practices that can be applied to the conservation and management of invertebrate Species of Greatest Conservation Need. Such practices could be applied on both public and private lands. • Efforts should be made to integrate fully invertebrate Priority Conservation Actions into site planning and land management activities, especially where state or federally listed species are involved. This will require concerted efforts to share data and information with a broader audience. • Undertake information, education, and media efforts to foster awareness and knowledge regarding the important roles invertebrates play in natural systems and create opportunities for natural resources professionals, citizens, local governments, and other public entities to be involved in invertebrate protection and conservation efforts. • Develop and implement recovery plans for those invertebrate Species of Greatest Conservation Need that have limited opportunities to remain viable in Wisconsin without meaningful intervention. 4.3 Invertebrate Species of Greatest Conservation Need Five hundred and thirty invertebrate species have been identified as Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Wisconsin. Species of Greatest Conservation Need are divided into three broad taxonomic groups: Nonarthropod invertebrates (Table 4-1), Noninsect arthropods (Table 4-2), and Insects (Table 4- 3). Table 4-1.
