Dr. Emmel will work to restore and improve remaining tropical hardwood hammock habitat surrounding golf courses in the Florida Keys to increase breeding and corridor habitat for the endangered Shaus Swallowtail butterfly. Wild lime trees, which are the butterfly's larval host plant, along with other native adult nectar sources will be planted and butterfly populations will be monitored to detect new movement along the newly created corridor and new populations establishment.
