  • Vertebrate Utilization of Reclaimed Habitat on Phosphate Mined Lands in Florida: a Research Synopsis and Habitat Design Recommendations'
    VERTEBRATE UTILIZATION OF RECLAIMED HABITAT ON PHOSPHATE MINED LANDS IN FLORIDA: A RESEARCH SYNOPSIS AND HABITAT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS' by J. H. Kiefer, PE, PWS2 Abstract: Several studies have documented the cumulative presence of 348 species of vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish) on reclaimed phosphate mines in Florida. Many of these species, however, are found at low population densities or on a small number of sites. The studies also provided comparative data for unmined habitat in the region and reported 324 species. About 12% of the species reported for reclaimed habitat were not reported for unmined habitat, while 6% of the species reported for unmined habitat were not reported for reclaimed habitat. Similar numbers of rare and endangered species occur on reclaimed and unmined habitats in the region. Differences in the fauna! assemblages of reclaimed and unmined areas can generally be traced to the effects of habitat maturity, wetland hydroperiod, the presence of large lakes, sandy substrates, and dispersal factors. The information suggests that additional species, or more robust populations of particular species, could be recruited to reclaimed habitat if several factors are incorporated into designs. Most reclaimed wetlands were constructed to have relatively stable water levels and extended hydroperiods. More ephemeral marshes should be created. Most uplands are reclaimed with a loamy-overburden soil cap. Large sand lenses should be left at the surface to provide a more suitable medium for fossorial animals. More care should be taken to situate reclaimed habitats to facilitate animal movement between habitat types. Many projects provide only two vegetative strata (trees and groundcover).

  • Mesic Pine Flatwoods
    Mesic Pine Flatwoods he mesic pine flatwoods of South Florida are of FNAI Global Rank: Undetermined critical, regional importance to the biota of South FNAI State Rank: S4 TFlorida. They provide essential forested habitat for a Federally Listed Species in S. FL: 9 variety of wildlife species including: wide-ranging, large carnivores such as the Florida panther (Puma (=Felis) State Listed Species in S. FL: 40 concolor coryi) and the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus); mid-sized carnivores; fox squirrels (Sciurus niger spp.); and deer (Odocoileus Mesic pine flatwoods. Original photograph by Deborah Jansen. virginianus). They provide tree canopy for canopy- dependent species including neotropical migrants, tree-cavity dependent species, and tree-nesting species. Mesic pine flatwoods are also important as the principal dry ground in South Florida, furnishing refuge and cover for ground-nesting vertebrates as well as habitat for non- aquatic plant life (such as upland perennials and annuals). During the summer wet season, the mesic pine flatwoods of South Florida function as the upland ark for non-aquatic animals. Mesic flatwoods serve as ground bird nesting areas; adult tree frog climbing areas; black bear foraging, denning, and travelways; and essential red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) foraging and nesting habitat. At the current rate of habitat conversion, the mesic pine flatwoods, once the most abundant upland habitat in South Florida, is in danger of becoming one of the rarest habitats in South Florida. The impact of this loss on wide- ranging species, listed species, and biodiversity in South Florida could be irreparable. Synonymy The mesic pine flatwoods association of southwest Florida has been variously recognized and alluded to in the plant community literature.

  • A Formal Five-Way Division of the Gaboon Viper Species Complex: Bitis
    Australasian Journal of Herpetology Australasian Journal of Herpetology 16:25-31. ISSN 1836-5698 (Print)25 Published 10 July 2013. ISSN 1836-5779 (Online) A formal five-way division of the Gaboon Viper Species Complex: Bitis (Macrocerastes) gabonica (Duméril, Bibron and Duméril, 1854) and a two-way division of the Nose-horned Viper species complex Bitis (Macrocerastes) nasicornis (Shaw, 1802) (Serpentes:Viperidae:Bitisini). RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3114, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: [email protected] Received 21 April 2013, Accepted 4 June 2013, Published 10 July 2013. ABSTRACT The Gaboon Viper Bitis gabonica (Duméril, Bibron and Duméril, 1854) as a species complex has had a fairly stable taxonomic history since being described at the species level, although the species as generally recognized was transferred to the genus Bitis Gray, 1842 shortly after the original description. Likewise for the Nose-horned Viper species complex Bitis (Macrocerastes) nasicornis (Shaw, 1802). The species known as the Rhinoceros Viper Bitis rhinoceros (Schlegel, 1855) was synonymised with Bitis gabonica by virtually all herpetologists beyond 1855 until 1999 (see McDiarmid et al. 1999), when Lenk et al. (1999) provided a molecular basis to recognize the western population, (then known as Bitis gabonica rhinoceros) identified in 1999 on the basis of allopatric distribution as opposed to any consistent morphological divergence. Chippaux (2006), showed that consistent differences in the markings on the side of the head could be used to identify and separate Bitis rhinoceros from the nominate species. Meanwhile the Gaboon Viper as popularly recognized since 1999 comprises the main population centred on the wetter parts of west-central Africa (the type locality Gabon) including several countries and then three quite distant and unconnected outlier populations.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE African Adders: Partial Characterization of Snake Venoms from Three Bitis Species of Medical Importance and Their Neutralization by Experimental Equine Antivenoms Danielle Paixão-Cavalcante, Alexandre K. Kuniyoshi, Fernanda C. V. Portaro, Wilmar Dias da Silva, Denise V. Tambourgi* Immunochemistry Laboratory, Butantan Institute, São Paulo, Brazil * [email protected] Abstract Background An alarming number of fatal accidents involving snakes are annually reported in Africa and most of the victims suffer from permanent local tissue damage and chronic disabilities. En- OPEN ACCESS venomation by snakes belonging to the genus Bitis, Viperidae family, are common in Sub- Citation: Paixão-Cavalcante D, Kuniyoshi AK, Saharan Africa. The accidents are severe and the victims often have a poor prognosis due Portaro FCV, da Silva WD, Tambourgi DV (2015) to the lack of effective specific therapies. In this study we have biochemically characterized African Adders: Partial Characterization of Snake venoms from three different species of Bitis, i.e., Bitis arietans, Bitis gabonica rhinoceros Venoms from Three Bitis Species of Medical and Bitis nasicornis, involved in the majority of the human accidents in Africa, and analyzed Importance and Their Neutralization by Experimental Equine Antivenoms.
