Title- Rice Rat: Oryzomys palustris natator
Habitat loss is the main threat to the rice rat. Development in marsh habitats by the process called “dredge and fill” has caused extensive damage to the population (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service 1999). Rice rats are vulnerable to low genetic variability due to its limited population. As a species of the Florida Keys, rising sea level is a potential threat to the rice rat’s habitat because it would become inundated with water.
