摘要: Peromyscus gossypinus, Sigmodon hispidus and Oryzomys palustris are the co-dominant rodents that inhabit Everglades of south Florida, USA. Here three species occur micro-sympatrically at extremely high densities on small discrete habitat islands richness hammock vegetation dot sawgrass prairie.
