Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Described from North Dakota in 1910 as Lycoperdon dakotense. Isotypes and authentical material has been distributed in many of the world’s herbaria. Belongs to the Bovista aestivalis-complex but species boundaries are not clear-cut. No sequence data available in GenBank.
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
The definition of Bovista dakotensis is currently ambiguous and awaits a taxonomic revision with a global scope. Dry grassland species. Redlist evaluation is not possible based on current knowledge, thus: NE
Geographic range
Described from N. America. Eurasian records from Russia, Belgium (det. Kreisel) and Romania (in S; doubtful/Jeppson).
Population and Trends
No conclusions can be drawn
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Dry grassland
Threats
Conservation Actions
Research needed
The species complex around B. aestivalis is in need of a revision with a world-wide scope. Species boundaries are ambiguous and sequence data from the holotype or a chosen epitype are needed to define B. dakotensis.
Use and Trade
none
