fl.biology.usgs.gov — The African jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi) has been established in canals surrounding the Miami area since the 1960s. With changes in water delivery to the park, the species has recently (2000) entered Everglades National Park and expanded its range westward through Big Cypress National Preserve. Simultaneously, African jewelfish from a More...

fisc.er.usgs.gov — A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Information relating to their biology, ecology, and environmental tolerances has been accumulating, but data gaps remain for several common species. These data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — Smaller than the length of a fingertip, the amphibious Glossostigma cleistanthum (L.) Kuntze (Scrophulariaceae) is not your typical "aquatic invader". The tiny plant has been found at reservoirs and millponds spanning north central New Jersey and extending into southeastern Pennsylvania. In its native, eastern hemisphere range (including New More...

www.npwrc.usgs.gov — This resource is a species profile of the purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), which is considered an invasive plant species. Its displacement of native species in wetlands has led to the loss of suitable habitat for wildlife. L. salicaria is the only reddish-purple flowered plant to develop massive monospecific blocks of showy floral displays More...

www.nbii.gov — Natural resource managers face complex decisions that require a clear understanding of the status of wildlife populations and their habitats. Monitoring is key to making effective management decisions and evaluating the outcomes of those decisions. The goal of NRMP is to improve the accessibility of monitoring efforts to resource managers to aid More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — Where nonnative plant species have invaded wildlands or have potential to invade, fire may influence their abundance and the effects of the nonnative species on native plant communities. USGS scientists and colleagues have contributed chapters to a volume that synthesizes scientific information regarding wildland fire and nonnative invasive plant More...
