Carica papaya ● Water Science & Plants Protecting Endangered Plant Species Sweetwater slope: Bill and Pam Anderson To date, a total of 117 listed taxa have been recorded in 26 panhandle parks, making these parks a key resource for the protection of endangered plant species. 4 ● The Palmetto Volume 28:1 ● Winter/Spring 2011 in Panhandle State Parks by Gil Nelson and Tova Spector The Florida Panhandle is well known for its natural endowments, chief among which are its botanical and ecological diversity. Approximately 242 sensitive plant taxa occur in the 21 counties west of the Suwannee River. These include 15 taxa listed as endangered or threatened by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 212 listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Florida, 191 tracked by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, 52 candidates for federal listing, and 7 categorized by the state as commercially exploited. Since the conservation of threatened and endangered plant species depends largely on effective management of protected populations, the occurrence of such plants on publicly or privately owned conservation lands, coupled with institutional knowledge of their location and extent is essential. District 1 of the Florida Sarracenia rosea (purple pitcherplant) at Ponce de Leon Springs State Park: Park Service manages 33 state parks encompassing approximately Tova Spector, Florida Department of Environmental Protection 53,877 acres in the 18 counties from Jefferson County and the southwestern portion of Taylor County westward.

Gopher Frog Genetics ABSTRACT Florida represents the last stronghold for the gopher frog, Rana (=Lithobates) capito, which has experienced serious declines in the rest of its range. Florida gopher frog populations have also experienced declines, particularly in the panhandle, primarily due to habitat degradation and reduction of gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) populations. Understanding gene flow and genetic diversity is necessary to determine whether populations will remain viable over time and whether additional management actions are needed in cases where populations have become isolated due to manmade barriers. The first objective of this study was to determine the amount of gene flow and degree of genetic variation among populations in 15 different geographical locations of known or suspected occupancy (areas of occupancy or AOs) that may be genetically isolated by natural or manmade barriers.
