About this title

Synopsis

This book captures the collective scientific findings and personal observations gathered over a five-year period of detailed study on a unique subspecies of deer, the Key deer, dwelling on the subtropical islands of the Florida Keys. Coming at a time when the Key deer population was experiencing a gradual rise in numbers after decades of steep decline, the author recognized the urgency to document the species's recovery and contribute to its lasting conservation. Through telemetry, capture-and-release techniques, and extensive field observations, the author meticulously collected data on Key deer movement, social dynamics, habitat preferences, and reproductive patterns. The findings reveal an intricate and finely tuned adaptation of the Key deer to its unique island ecosystem, underscoring the crucial importance of preserving the delicate island habitats these deer depend on for survival.
