Figure 1. Map of Everglades National Park, Florida, with relevant features of the Park, main water control structures, and location of the 15 wells used in this study.

Figure 2. Cross-sections showing sample locations at test coreholes. See Fig. 1c for location of cross-sections. On the right side of each transect are represented the lithostratigraphic units (Causaras 1987), the "Q units" (Perkins 1977), and the high-frequency cycles (HFC).

Figure 3. Average ground water level along canal L-31 measured as average of the values recorded at all the wells located on the canal (cm from surface, right = R), L-31 canal stage (cm, left = L), and average rainfall measured at ENP monitoring station NE1 in Northeast Shark River Slough (cm, left), from June 2000 to May 2001.

Figure 4. Total number of individuals (adults + copepodids, open symbols) and number of species (closed symbols) collected each month, over all wells, from June 2000 to May 2001. Bars represent standard errors.

Figure 5. Total number of individuals (adults + copepodids) collected at each well, plotted against the depth of the closest HFC.

Figure 6. Percentage of total individuals (adults + copepodids) that were collected at each HFC for each sample date, from June 2000 to May 2001. The averaged number of individuals collcted from each HFC for all dates combined is shown on right as Total.
