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...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Over the past 150 years, land reclamation activities have resulted in loss of significant amounts of tidal marshes (sometimes referred to as inter-tidal wetlands, the estuarine zone that is alternately flooded and exposed) in San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay/Delta). Recently, in an effort to halt or reverse the decline More...

fl.biology.usgs.gov — A dozen species of non-indigenous fishes have colonized the wetlands of south Florida. Although some of these species continue to spread geographically, others remain local. Data are needed to understand and model the ultimate range expansion, habitat occupation and dynamics of non-native fishes, and are particularly important for risk More...
