Resource Abstract:
- description: The main objective of the study was to compile, in a format accessible to all researchers, all data collected
on alligator numbers, biology, and ecology in south Florida. The data are required to set restoration success criteria, provide
input to models being developed to evaluate effects of Everglades restoration on alligators, and to develop short and long-term
monitoring protocols for assessing the success of Restoration efforts. This included: 1. Compile a list of studies and data
sets relating to alligators in south Florida. 2. Determine the accessibility of data sets. Rank the data sets as to their
importance and need for compilation (rankings will be made in cooperation with BRD modeling staff and crocodilian researchers
and mangers). 3. Obtain and compile at least the 3 highest ranking data sets. 4. Develop a standardized format for collecting
and managing data on alligators. 5. Develop a project plan for obtaining the remaining data sets and producing a digital library
of historic reports. 6. Use the historical data assembled above to develop a method and to compare body condition among alligator
populations in south Florida both spatially and temporally.; abstract: The main objective of the study was to compile, in
