    The California Natural Diversity Database is updating our element (species) records to reflect the 3 federal Distinct Population Segments (DPS). We had previously tracked California tiger salamander as a single species concept with notes about different statuses (Federally Endangered/Federally Threatened, State Threatened):

    Element
    Code
    Species Name Federal
    Status
    State
    Status
    AAAAA01180 California tiger salamander
     Ambystoma californiense
    FE/FT ST

    CNDDB will now be tracking the individual populations:
