1998年乔治飓风（第2类）和1999年艾琳飓风（第1类）在佛罗里达礁岛登陆，加上正在对佛罗里达岛鹿（Odocoileus virginanus clavium）进行无线电遥测研究，为评估自然干扰对岛鹿的影响提供了一个独特的机会。我们重新安置53鹿（女性，n = 29;男性，n = 24）在飓风乔治和45鹿（女性，n = 27;男性，n = 18）在飓风艾琳。一名成年男子因飓风乔治（15 ppt）而溺水身亡。在某些情况下，水坑的适用性直到几周或几个月后才有所改善。我们的研究表明，轻度到中度飓风（1-2级）对基鹿的生存几乎没有直接影响;然而，由于更强的风和更大的风暴潮（>3.5米），更强的风暴（> 3级）可能会产生更大的影响。
The landing in the Florida Keys of Hurricanes Georges (Category 2) in 1998 and Irene (Category 1) in 1999, in combination with an ongoing radiotelemetry study of Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginanus clavium), offered a unique opportunity to evaluate the impacts of natural disturbances on Key deer. We relocated 53 deer (female, n = 29; male, n = 24) during Hurricane Georges and 45 deer (female, n = 27; male, n = 18) during Hurricane Irene. One adult male drowned due to Hurricane Georges ( 15 ppt). In some cases, water-hole suitability did not improve until several weeks or months later. Our study suggests that mild to moderate hurricanes (Category 1-2) have little direct impact on the survival of Key deer; however, stronger storms (>Category 3) might have a greater impact due to stronger winds and greater storm surges (>3.5 m).
