Invertebrates    An inventory of invertebrate populations was conducted at Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site (Pandullo-Quirk Assoc. 1979). With the exception of Gypsy Moth, mosquitoes, and a benthologic study in the tidal section of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS, no other work on invertebrates has been conducted. The presence of Deer Ticks (Ixodes dammini) has been documented, and Lyme Disease is a major problem throughout the entire region. Information on prevention and detection has been made available to park employees and visitors, and any ticks collected are sent to Dr. Howard Ginsberg at the Center for Coastal Studies for identification and analysis.       | home | what's new? | finding us | directions | fees | hours | | reservations | park facilities | history | events | virtual tours | | cultural resources | natural resources | press room | | park rules & regulations | links | | ParkNet |   National Park Service 4097 Albany Post Road Hyde Park, NY 12538 Last updated: February 16, 2001 http://www.nps.gov/hofr/nr_inverts.html Author: ROVA Webmaster	Natural Resource Index Introduction Vegetation Reptiles & Amphibians  Mammals   Fish  Invertebrates   Birds  Hydrology Cultural Landscapes Inventory & Monitoring Research & Data Needs Geographic Information System
