Description
Three plots were chosen on the Florida Atlantic University Nature Preserve (FAUNP) to study the effect of the exotic Brazilian pepper trees, on the burrow site selection and foraging range of the native gopher tortoise. The home range of tortoises was not statistically different among plots. Proximity of burrows to tree, size of tree and nearest neighbor distance exhibited no effect on burrow site selection or foraging range. Tortoise burrows in all plots exhibited a random dispersion. Current coverage by Brazilian pepper trees and the size of the trees present on the FAUNP has no significant effect on the burrow site selection, or burrow status of the gopher tortoises.
