Dicofol and DDT residues in lizard carcasses and bird eggs from Texas, Florida, and California Dicofol and DDT residues in lizard carcasses and bird eggs from Texas, Florida, and California
Dicofol is an organochlorine agricultural pesticide used to control mites. The principal commercial dicofol product is known as Kelthane TM. More than 70% of dicofol product (about 3 million Ib or 1.4 million kg) sold annually in the U.S. is applied in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

The Florida Keys are a chain of islands extending 320 km (199 mi) along the southern edge of the Florida Plateau from Biscayne Bay to the Dry Tortugas (101 km [63 mi] west of Key West). The Florida Reef Tract, a band of living coral reefs paralleling the Keys, extends from Fowey Rocks to the Marquesas and includes about 130 km (81 mi) of bank reefs and 6,000 patch reefs.

Marine turtles in the Southeast Marine turtles in the Southeast
Five species of marine turtles frequent the beaches and offshore waters of the southeastern United States: loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata). All five are reported to nest, but only the loggerhead and green turtle do so in substantial numbers. Most nesting...

Reptiles and amphibians in the endangered longleaf pine ecosystem Reptiles and amphibians in the endangered longleaf pine ecosystem
The Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States contains a rich diversity of reptiles and amphibians (herpetofauna). Of the 290 species native to the Southeast, 170 (74 amphibians, 96 reptiles) are found within the range of the remnant longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem (Fig. 1). Many of these species are not found elsewhere, particularly those amphibians that require...

Reproduction and early-age survival of manatees at Blue Spring, Upper St. Johns River, Florida Reproduction and early-age survival of manatees at Blue Spring, Upper St. Johns River, Florida
We summarize reproduction of adults and survival of calves and subadult Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) that were identified in winter at Blue Spring on the upper St. Johns River in Florida. Some records span more than 20 years, but most are from 15-year continuous annual observations during winter 1978-79 through winter 1992-93. Fifty-seven, first-year calves were...
