COSEWIC assessment and status report on the Prairie Skink, Plestiodon septentrionalis, in Canada . : CW69-14/385-2018E-PDF
"The Canadian distribution of this species is restricted to a small area of mixed-grass prairie on sandy soils in Manitoba and is isolated from the rest of the species’ range in the USA by over 100 km. Its prairie habitat has been historically lost and fragmented mainly due to agricultural activities. Aspen succession and invasion by exotic plants continue to degrade remaining habitats. Several new localities have been discovered within the known range since the last assessment as a result of increased survey efforts, and habitat management is ongoing within portions of the skink’s range on federal and provincial lands. Change in status from the previous assessment results from a different interpretation of status assessment criteria by COSEWIC. While the species is deemed to no longer be at risk of imminent extinction, it could become Threatened if factors affecting it are unmitigated"--Assessment Summary – November 2017, p. iii.
