Current Interest
Analyzing Impacts of Florida's Freeze on Wildlife
The long freeze that gripped Florida in January triggered a wave of deaths among wildlife species that are sensitive to the cold - including endangered manatees. By performing necropsies on manatees, biologists gather data on their cause of death, health conditions, and population structure that can later be applied to research questions that inform management decisions.

Pine Rocklands Conference
How do you manage a fire-dependent forest that is heavily fragmented? On February 10-13, scientists and managers will discuss recent science on the unique Pine Rocklands ecosystem in South Florida and the Bahamas, Turks, and Caicos islands and its implications for management at the Pine Rockland Conference 2010: Consequences of Fragmentation.
