Since you mentioned the mice, here's a relevant snippet from another FWS paper about them --

"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) listed the Key Largo cotton mouse as endangered on 21 June, 1983, due to a substantial loss of habitat. "

"Habitat loss and fragmentation has caused the isolation of Key Largo cotton mouse populations. Tropical hardwood hammock fragments up to 3.9 ha (9.6 acres) in size remain on south Key Largo, but may no longer be able to support Key Largo cotton mice. These hammocks may be too small and isolated to support viable cotton mouse populations (Frank et al. 1997). "
