AC1-19.001

I took some macro photos of whatever is growing on the Euphorbia nutans plants in this empty lot in Hell's Kitchen, adjacent to the West Side Line rail tracks. It's filamentous and grows on the leaves, stems, and cyathia.

the leftmost: A. caudobimaculatus
the rightmost: A. vaigiensis
the middle: A. sexfasciatus

"Abudefduf vaigiensis"
Scale rows between middle of spinous portion of dorsalfin base and lateral line 3.5
No black spots at caudal-fin base

"Abudefduf caudobimaculatus"
Scale rows between middle of spinous portion of dorsalfin base and lateral line 2.5
Usually with 2 black spots at caudal-fin base

These two point of differences can be seen from this photo.
As a result, the species of this photo is "Abudefduf caudobimaculatus".

Now, "Abudefduf caudobimaculatus" isn't synonym of "Abudefduf vaigiensis".

It has not yet been approved and is very much worth fighting against!

I came out here to document some of the native species that call this area home. Please spread the word about this area's importance as a wetland with many native species present and worth protecting.

I created a project on iNaturalist that includes observations from the wetlands and farmlands that would be affected: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/no-to-the-kendall-parkway
