Abstract

As diverse as they are, the Karner Blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis), American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus americanus), Hines Emerald Dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana), and Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis) share one thing in common: their conservation status has been improved thanks to listing under the United States' Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). Since it first came into law, the ESA has been lauded and reviled in equal measure, and its merits have been debated vigorously.
