Fire and the Florida sandhill herpetofaunal community: with special attention to responses of Cnemidophorus sexlineatus
TLDR
Monitoring the herpetofaunal community on four plots of land maintained on different burn schedules indicated that burning increased diversity and abundance of amphibians and reptiles over control plots, and some fire periodicities were better than others for maintaining high diversity.
ONTOGENY OF WATER SNAKE FORAGING ECOLOGY
TLDR
Regression analysis indicates that all four species eat larger prey as they mature, however, the largest individuals are females, and in two of the four species the large females eat a different array of prey than smaller nonspecific males.

Gopherus polyphemus – Gopher Tortoise
Decline of some west-central Florida anuran populations in response to habitat degradation
TLDR
It is suggested that in many places, local environmental degradation is insidiously chipping away at amphibian diversity, and that more emphasis should be placed on these local causes than is now the case.

POPULATION BIOLOGY OF THE RARE FLORIDA SCRUB LIZARD IN FRAGMENTED HABITAT
TLDR
A 3-yr demographic study of the rare Florida scrub lizard, Sceloporus woodi Stejneger, in a small habitat fragment indicates that the population did not decline to extinction, but the factors that affected survival rates are not known.

Species Profile: Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) on Military Installations in the Southeastern United States.
Abstract : The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is the only tortoise that occurs east of the Mississippi River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has separated the species into two main…
Epigenetic Variation May Compensate for Decreased Genetic Variation with Introductions: A Case Study Using House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) on Two Continents
TLDR
Methylation diversity was similar between populations, in spite of known lower genetic diversity in Nairobi, which suggests that epigenetic variation may compensate for decreased genetic diversity as a source of phenotypic variation during introduction.

Mangrove Damage Caused by Hurricane Andrew on the Southwestern Coast of Florida
TLDR
The mangrove forest at the mouth of Lostman's River, on the southwestern coast of Florida, about 2 months after Hurricane Andrew had passed, fared marginally better than Avicennia germinans (blackMangrove), and both of these species fared substantially better than Laguncularia racemosa (white mangroves).
