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.

Business Support Letters About the Resource • The Rodman Dam was constructed in 1968 as part of the Cross Florida Barge Canal project. • The damming of the Ocklawaha River flooded more than 7,500 acres of forested wetlands, 16 miles of river and at least 20 springs. • The Ocklawaha River flows north/northeast. It is joined by the Silver River near Ocala, continuing until reaching the St. Johns River in Putnam County. It is the largest tributary of the St. Johns River. • Benefits of restoration extend well beyond Putnam County from the headwaters of the Ocklawaha in Lake County to the estuaries of the St. Johns River in Duval County and beyond. • Restoration has been identified as one of three essential components of the Silver Springs Basin Plan and an essential action to improve water quality in the St. Johns River. • One scientist called it “the Everglades of the north” but with a cost less than one Everglades restoration project. The economic and environmental return on investment would be unprecedented. • The actual restoration area is in Putnam and Marion Counties, but benefits a large regional area.
