Abstract

Peromyscus gossypinus, Sigmodon hispidus and Oryzomys palustris are the co-dominant rodents that inhabit the Everglades of south Florida, USA. Here the three species occur micro-sympatrically at extremely high densities on small discrete habitat islands of high species richness of hammock vegetation that dot the Everglades sawgrass prairie. A long term live-trapping study was conducted to determine whether the species were distributed independently of one another. Data are analyzed on two spatial scales.
