* NOTE: Critical habitat and recovery plans are not required for foreign species; critical habitat is also not required for species listed prior to the 1978 ESA amendments that added critical habitat provisions.
** These populations were listed before the 1978 ESA amendments that restricted population listings to "distinct population segments of vertebrate species."
