AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoIsland Time: Daylight saving time ended across much of the U.S. on Nov. 1, but the U.S. Virgin Islands stay on standard time year-round, so residents did not change their clocks. St. Croix Ecology: A study traces the island’s mongoose introduction to 1884, when the animals were brought in to control sugarcane-field rats. Researchers say habitat loss and mongoose predation may explain why the native ground lizard disappeared from 99.97% of its historic range; the St. Croix racer is also presumed extinct. Storm Science: El Niño has brought an unusually quiet Atlantic hurricane season so far, but scientists warn that warming seas, heavier rainfall, rising sea levels and development in risky areas continue to drive up storm losses.
