Data for: Effects of seasonal fine-scale hydrologic conditions on American alligator nest fate in the Everglades

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:05 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 08, 2025 at 12:00 AM
American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are responsive to hydrologic conditions at all stages of their life history, making them well established indicators of ecosystem restoration within the Everglades. The distribution and success of alligator nesting is monitored annually within Everglades National Park by systematic reconnaissance flight (SRF) helicopter surveys. This dataset represents a subset of the long-term monitoring program data, consisting of data for nests observed between 2008 - 2023, which was used to investigate the relationships between nest-level hydrology and multiple causes of nest failure.
