HEHO Herpetofauna Inventory Geodatabase
Williams M. 2004. HEHO Herpetofauna Inventory Geodatabase. Heartland Network
Little information on current species composition, distribution, and abundance existed for the park prior the inventory. Information is needed for park managers to make appropriate decisions to ensure the long-term sustainability of species and abide by the National Park Service (NPS) mission statement. Surveys were conducted from April-June 2002 via listening, visual surveys, pitfall traps, and cover boards. Only three snake species were found, a species richness and abundance considered low and attributed to lack of, or marginal, habitat. One voucher displaying typical phenotypic variation for each species encountered was collected. Management implications and recommendations identify possible steps to establish herpetofauna species populations at Herbert Hoover NHS.
