Vascular Plant and Odonate Survey, Voyageurs National Park
Harris A and Foster R. 2005. Vascular Plant and Odonate Survey, Voyageurs National Park. Great Lakes Network Report GLKN/2005/01. Northern Bioscience Ecological Consulting. Thunder Bay, ON
In 2004 surveys were conducted for odonate and vascular plant species in Voyageurs National Park. Eight new plant species were discovered for the park. We estimate that 73%-81% of the "potential flora" (plant species known to occur in the park plus those expected to occur) is known from the park. This is a minor increase from the 72%-81% previously estimated. One of the new species, Minuartia dawsonensis, is ranked as Special Concern in Minnesota. Thirty-one species of odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) were observed in the park. A preliminary list of potential species from the park was developed which includes odonate species known to occur in the park plus those expected to occur. We estimate that approximately 23-31% of 101-133 potential species is known from the park. Georeferenced locations of new and significant species are provided, as is a revised checklist of vascular plants of Voyageurs National Park. A preliminary list of potential odonate species for the park is provided as well.
