Abstract

Abstract - We surveyed the Naval Air Station in Key West, FL, to document state-listed herpetofauna in 2 different vegetation types using 3 motion-detecting infrared cameras centered within radiating drift fences. Cameras were activated on 21 June 2021 and retrieved on 30 November 2021. Of 225,153 photos taken, 1210 were of vertebrates (603 of herpetofauna, 512 of mammals, and 95 of birds). July produced the most photographs of vertebrates per camera day (6.84/camera day), whereas August had the fewest (1.17/camera day), likely due to low precipitation. The mean time of day when vertebrate photos were taken was midday at 1247 hours. We found no Florida-listed birds or herpetofauna present on Navy lands during our camera-trap research; however, we did have 259 photos of the federally endangered Sylvilagus palustris hefneri (Lower Keys Marsh Rabbit). Additionally, 4 species of invasive herpetofauna were detected.

一项针对佛罗里达州基韦斯特海军航空站的爬虫动物群的相机陷阱调查

摘要/ Abstract摘要:我们对佛罗里达州基韦斯特的海军航空站进行了调查，利用集中在辐射漂移围栏内的3台运动检测红外摄像机记录了2种不同植被类型的国家列出的爬行动物。摄像头于2021年6月21日启动，并于2021年11月30日回收。在拍摄的225153张照片中，1210张是脊椎动物(603张是爬行动物，512张是哺乳动物，95张是鸟类)。7月平均每天拍摄的脊椎动物照片最多(6.84张/天)，而8月最少(1.17张/天)，这可能与降水少有关。拍摄脊椎动物照片的平均时间是中午12时47分。在我们的相机陷阱研究中，我们没有发现佛罗里达州的鸟类或爬行动物出现在海军的土地上;然而，我们确实有259张联邦濒危物种Sylvilagus palustris hefneri(下基斯沼泽兔)的照片。此外，还发现了4种入侵爬虫动物。

期刊介绍： The Southeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the southeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from North Carolina south to Florida, west to Texas, north to Oklahoma, and east back to North Carolina. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.
