Space Use by Round-tailed Muskrats in Isolated Wetlands
The round-tailed muskrat (Neofiber alleni) is a species of conservation concern that represents a monotypic genus with a restricted geographic distribution. Few data exist on space use to assist conservation efforts for this enigmatic species. We radiotracked 23 round-tailed muskrats in isolated freshwater wetlands in central Florida. Muskrats used lodges for diurnal rest sites when wetlands we...
متن کاملSpatial Distribution of Round-tailed Muskrats on Dry Prairie Wetlands: Untangling Historical Landscapes and Current Land Use
The round-tailed muskrat ( Neofiber alleni ) is a semiaquatic, herbivorous, nocturnal, and enigmatic species (Birkenholz 1963, Lefebvre and Tilmant 1992) that occurs within wetlands embedded in dry prairie and other landscape associations. The species has a restricted geographic distribution and occurs mostly in Florida where it was proposed as a Species of Special Concern because of presumed s...
متن کاملFactors affecting space use overlap by white-tailed deer in an urban landscape
Variation in the size and overlap of space use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has broad implications for managing deer–human conflicts and disease spread and transmission in urban landscapes. Understanding which factors affect overlap of home range by various segments (i.e., age, sex) of an urban deer population has implications to direct contact between deer on disease epidemiol...
متن کاملPhosphorus release and retention by soils of natural isolated wetlands
Hydrological restoration of historically isolated wetlands may mitigate phosphorus (P) loss. The objectives of this study were to quantify P in soil, determine effect of (1) soil characteristics on P release, and (2) antecedent soil hydrological conditions on P dynamics. Humic/fulvic acid bound P and residual P accounted for majority of P (>78%) in surface soils. Soils with highest nutrient sta...
متن کاملDo geographically isolated wetlands influence landscape functions?
Geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs), those surrounded by uplands, exchange materials, energy, and organisms with other elements in hydrological and habitat networks, contributing to landscape functions, such as flow generation, nutrient and sediment retention, and biodiversity support. GIWs constitute most of the wetlands in many North American landscapes, provide a disproportionately large...
