Talk:Key Largo woodrat
A fact from Key Largo woodrat appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 February 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Population
editIt says 6500 in one reference and 650 in another.
“ | Only 6500 animals were thought to remain in North Key Largo in the late 1980s.[1] | ” |
“ | By the end of the 1980s, the rat had disappeared from Key Largo proper and its total population had dwindled to some 650 animals on North Key Largo, and biologists had begun to equip rats with radio devices to study them.[2] | ” |

Humphrey
was invoked but never defined (see the help page). - ^ "Federal Aid Sought as the Woodrat's Time Runs Out". Miami Herald. 21 March 1984. pp. 1D. Retrieved 9 February 2010.
So, which is the right information to have? Dream Focus 23:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- I checked, and 6500 appears to be the correct figure. This is from the study by Humphrey (1988), who says that earlier estimates by Barbour and Humphrey (1982) were too low. That paper has an estimated total population of 654 (p. 117), and that's presumably where the Miami Herald got its data from. Ucucha 23:32, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
