Throw trap and electrofishing data collected during 1996–2022 from the Everglades, Florida, United States for the publication "Contrasting invasion histories and effects of three non-native fishes observed with long-term monitoring data"
This dataset was used to analyze the effects of three non-native fishes in the Florida Everglades for a publication in the journal Biological Invasions. The dataset incorporates plot-level mean densities (# of individuals per square meter) of common aquatic animals collected during 1996–2022 from 17 sites across three regions of the Everglades: Taylor Slough, Shark River Slough, and Water Conservation Area 3A. Prey species included are nine common small fishes and three common decapod species (two crayfish species and grass shrimp). The dataset includes throw trap data on three predator taxa: African Jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi), Mayan Cichlids (Mayaheros uruphthalmus), and sunfishes (Lepomis spp.). Annual indices of mean wet season electrofishing catch-per-unit-effort of Asian Swamp Eels (Monopterus albus/javanesis), Mayan Cichlids, sunfishes, and the three other large 'top predator' fishes (Amia calva, Lepisosteus platyrhincus, Micropterus salmoides) are included for plots where electrofishing was performed from 1997-2021. Hydrologic measures used in analyses and R code used to conduct analyses are also included.

Natural history and ecological effects on the establishment and fate of Florida carpenter ant cadavers infected by the parasitic-manipulator Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani
<p class="MsoNormal">1. <em>Ophiocordyceps</em> fungi manipulate the behavior of their ant hosts to produce a summit disease phenotype, thereby establishing infected ant cadavers onto vegetation at elevated positions suitable for fungal growth and transmission. Multiple environmental and ecological factors have been proposed to shape the timing, positioning, and outcome of these manipulations.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">2. We conducted a long-term field study of <em>Ophiocordyceps</em> <em>camponoti-floridani</em> infections of <em>Camponotus floridanus</em> ants – the Florida zombie ants. We propose and refine hypotheses on the factors that shape infection outcomes by tracking the occurrence of fungal growth from hundreds of ant cadavers. We modeled and report these data in relation to weather, light, vegetation, and attack by mycoparasites.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">3. We investigated environmental factors that could affect the occurrence and location of newly manipulated ant cadavers. New cadavers were positively correlated with epiphytic <em>Tillandsia </em>bromeliads, canopy openness, and weather conditions (an interactive effect of temperature, humidity, and precipitation) with an increased occurrence during the sub-tropical summer. We further suggest that incident light at the individual cadaver level may reflect microhabitat choice by manipulated ants or selective pressure on cadaver maintenance for conditions improving fungal survival.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">4. We also sought to connect fungal fitness to environmental conditions. Continued fungal development of reproductive structures and putative transmission increased with moist weather conditions (interaction of humidity and precipitation) and canopy openness, while being reduced by attack by mycoparasites. Moreover, under the most open canopy conditions, we found an atypical <em>Ophiocordyceps</em> growth morphology that could represent a plastic response to conditions influenced by high light levels.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">5. Taken together, we explore general trends and the effects of various ecological conditions on host and parasite disease outcomes in the Florida zombie ant system. These insights from the field can be used to inform experimental laboratory setups that directly test the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on fungus-ant interactions or aim to uncover underlying molecular mechanisms.</p>

Data from: Insights into the introduction history and population genetic dynamics of the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) in Florida
Invasive species are widely recognized as important drivers of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. The US state of Florida is especially susceptible to the proliferation of invasive reptiles, and nonnative lizards currently outnumber native lizard species. At present, there are three documented breeding populations of the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) in different regions of Southern Florida, and these populations are considered potential dangers to threatened, fossorial endemics, such as burrowing owls, American crocodiles, and gopher tortoises. Nevertheless, at present, both the introduction histories of these populations and the degree to which they are connected by gene flow are not known. To address these issues, we genotyped V. niloticus from Cape Coral, Homestead Air Reserve Base, and West Palm Beach at 17 microsatellite loci and conducted a variety of analyses to assess both intra-population genetic diversity, the degree of gene flow between populations, and the most likely introduction scenario. The results of our analyses demonstrate that all three populations have limited genetic diversity (mean number of effective alleles across loci in all three populations ~ 2.00) and are highly differentiated from one another (GST = 0.268; G''ST = 0.628). Our results also suggest that these populations resulted from independent introduction events that occurred within the past few decades. Consequently, we advise that wildlife managers focus management efforts on containment of existing populations and intensification of monitoring efforts on potential migration corridors.

Data for: Fire history and weather interact to determine extent and synchrony of mast-seeding in rhizomatous scrub oaks of Florida
<p>In disturbance-prone ecosystems, fitness consequences of plant reproductive strategies are often determined by the relative timing of seed production and disturbance events, but the role of disturbances as proximate drivers of seed production has been overlooked. We use long-term data on seed production in <i>Quercus chapmanii</i>, <i>Q. geminata</i>, and <i>Q. inopina</i>, rhizomatous oaks found in Southcentral Florida's oak scrub, to investigate the role of fire history and its interaction with weather in shaping acorn production and its synchrony<i>. </i>Acorn production increased with the time since last fire, combined with additive or interactive effects of spring precipitation (+) or drought (–). Furthermore, multiple matrix regression models revealed that ramet pairs with shared fire history were more synchronous in seed production than ones that burned in different years. Long-term trends suggest that increasingly drier spring weather, in interaction with fire frequency, may drive a decline of seed production. Such declines could affect the community of acorn-reliant vertebrates in the Florida scrub, including endangered Florida scrub-jays (<i>Aphelocoma coerulescens</i>). These results illustrate that fire can function as a proximate driver of seed production in mast-seeding species, highlighting the increasingly recognized importance of interactions among reproductive strategies and disturbance regimes in structuring plant populations and communities.</p>
