Assessment of Small Mammal Demographics in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Everglades National Park

Romañach SS. Assessment of Small Mammal Demographics in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Everglades National Park. Research Permit and Reporting System

The decline of mammal populations in Everglades National Park (ENP) over the last 20 years is likely to influence the ecology of the Greater Everglades ecosystem. We used live-trapping on tree islands at Rock Reef Pass and Chekika to determine community composition and density both spatially and temporally. Our focal species were: marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris), hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), and cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus).
