Fotinos, Dr. Joyce Maschinski & Dr. Eric von Wettberg Biological systems around the globe are being threatened by human-induced landscape changes, habitat degradation and climate change (Barnosky et al. 2011; Lindenmayer & Fischer 2006; Thomas et al. 2004; Tilman et al. 1994). Although there is a considerable threat across the globe, numerically the threat is highest in the biodiversity hotspots of the world. Of those hotspots, South Florida and the Caribbean are considered in the top five areas for conservation action because of the high level of endemism and threat (Myers et al. 2000). South Florida contains roughly 125 endemic species and is the northernmost limit of the distribution of many tropical species (Abrahamson 1984; Gann et al. 2002). The threat to these species comes predominantly from sea level rise, which could be >1 m by the end of the century (Maschinski et al. 2011). Above: Pilosocereus robinii stand in the Florida Keys.

Populating new or previously occupied areas or supple- menting a local population of existing individuals are strategies that improve the odds that a population or species will survive.

    NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115 Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines Version 2.0 October 1997 Seattle, Washington noaa NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION National Ocean Service Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment National Ocean Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce The Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) provides decisionmakers comprehensive, scientific information on characteristics of the oceans, coastal areas, and estuaries of the United States of America. The information ranges from strategic, national assessments of coastal and estuarine environmental quality to real-time information for navigation or hazardous materials spill response. Through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program, ORCA uses uniform techniques to monitor toxic chemical contamination of bottom-feeding fish, mussels and oysters, and sediments at about 300 locations throughout the United States. A related NS&T Program of directed research examines the relationships between contaminant exposure and indicators of biological responses in fish and shellfish. Through the Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division (HAZMAT) Scientific Support Coordination program, ORCA provides critical scientific support for planning and responding to spills of oil or hazardous materials into coastal environments. Technical guidance includes spill trajectory predictions, chemical hazard analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of marine and estuarine environments to spills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the Secretary of Commerce as a trustee for living marine resources, HAZMAT’s Coastal Resource Coordination program provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during all phases of the remedial process to protect the environment and restore natural resources at hundreds of waste sites each year.

  • An Evaluation of Habitat Selection and an Abundance Estimate For
    AN EVALUATION OF HABITAT SELECTION AND AN ABUNDANCE ESTIMATE FOR THE ENDANGERED KEY LARGO WOODRAT by CHRIS WINCHESTER (Under the direction of Michael T. Mengak and Steven B. Castleberry) ABSTRACT The Key Largo woodrat (KLWR; Neotoma floridana smalli) is an endangered species endemic to the island of Key Largo. Despite protection of its remaining habitat from development, the population continued to decline over the last 20 years. Information on KLWR habitat preferences required to effectively manage the population is lacking, as is a means to monitor abundance. The objectives of this study were to examine habitat selection by KLWR at two spatial scales, the macro and micro-scales, and identify an efficient sampling design that can be used to monitor this rare population. Results of habitat and nest site selection suggest KLWR is limited by the availability of quality nest habitat and would benefit from the addition of artificial nest substrate and the continued protection of the forested uplands of Key Largo. Stratified random sampling was the most effective design and can be used to monitor the status of KLWR. INDEX WORDS: Key Largo woodrat, Neotoma floridana smalli, macrohabitat selection, microhabitat selection, nest site selection, logistic regression, resource selection function (RSF), adaptive cluster sampling, radiotelemetry, abundance, closed population model, occupancy.

Current Protections • 68A-4.001, F.A.C., General Prohibitions and Photograph by Randy Grau, FWC. Requirement – Prohibits the take, transport, sale, and possession of wildlife. • 68A-1.004, F.A.C., Take – The term take shall include taking, attempting to take, pursuing, hunting, molesting, capturing, or killing any wildlife or freshwater fish, or their nests or eggs by any means whether or not such actions result in obtaining possession of such wildlife or freshwater fish or their nests or eggs. Biological Background This section describes the biological background for this species and provides context for the following sections. It focuses on the habitats that support the Florida tree snail, and the threats faced by the species. Florida tree snails (Liguus fasciatus) have historically been found in Collier, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties (Deisler-Seno 1994). Currently the species is primarily known from Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Collier counties (Emmel and Cotter 1995; see range map). The Florida tree snail has a conical shell 40 to 70 mm (1.6 to 2.7 in) in length. The shell color is extremely variable and can be matte or glossy (Pilsbry 1946). There are 58 named color morphs of the Florida tree snail (Jones et al. 1981, Roth and Bogan 1984, Emmel and Cotter 1995; Figure 1). Research shows very low genetic variation and suggests that all color morphs belong to a single species, Liguus fasciatus (Hillis 1995).

In particular, decoupling the respective impacts of biotic and abiotic factors on the macroevolution of orogenies clades is paramount to understand biodiversity assemblage in this region. We present the first comprehensive Butterfly evolution molecular phylogeny for the Neotropical Anaeini leafwing butterflies (Nymphalidae, Charaxinae) and, applying Eocene paleoenvironments likelihood-based methods, we test the impact of major abiotic (Andean orogeny, Central American highland Host plant shifts orogeny, Proto-Caribbean seaway closure, Quaternary glaciations) and biotic (host plant association) factors on Nymphalidae phylogenetics Panamanian archipelago their macroevolution. We infer a robust phylogenetic hypothesis for the tribe despite moderate support in some derived clades.
