The number of Snowy Plover (SP) nests by breeding year (2002–2010) in three Gulf coastal regions of Florida. Names of the tropical cyclone in the year prior to the breeding year are given along with the cyclone's maximum intensity as it affected the region. In order of intensity quantified by the wind speed (SaffirÐSimpson scale): tropical depression (TD), tropical storm (TS, 17 m s), hurricane from category 1 to 4 (H1, H2, H3, H4, for intensity 33, 43, 50, 59, and 70 m s, respectively). The nesting data are from the Florida Wildlife Commission [16], [17] and the tropical cyclone data are from the National Hurricane Center [33]. () See Figure 2, highlighted regions (1), (2), and (3) for locations.
