Legend: 

S-ranks mean, generally an S rank of 5 means common to abundant and a 1 means very rare/endangered. In the context of NB detailed explanations on how to understand the s-rank system can be found on the ACCDC (Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Center) at www.accdc.com/

Colour Code:

Gold means that a species should be considered regionally as a species of special concern or greater (threatened or endangered) based on available info to date, whereas red points out those species for which I still was missing critical info. With regards to the Kent Co. list, the species with a single question mark and a yellow background are those which I feel may be found in Kent Co. with some more intensive survey efforts, whereas those species with two question marks and a dark pink background are unlikely to be found here at this point, given their present known distribution and their natural history.
