Title: The effects of a garbage-supplemented diet on the reproductive success of the White Ibis, Eudocimus albus (L.).
Creator: Rumbold, Darren George., Florida Atlantic University, Adams, Ralph M.
Abstract/Description: The reproductive success of White Ibises, Eudocimus albus (L.) was studied during the 1988 and 1989 nesting seasons at a wading bird colony in Florida. Evidence suggests that the diets of both adult and nestling Ibises included garbage from a nearby dump. The mean clutch size was 2.5 +- 0.72 in 1988 and 2.6 +- 0.72 in 1989. The probability of a nest surviving to produce at least one 10-day-old nestling was 45.8% and 54.1% for 1988 and 1989, respectively. Success was higher for nests on...
Show moreThe reproductive success of White Ibises, Eudocimus albus (L.) was studied during the 1988 and 1989 nesting seasons at a wading bird colony in Florida. Evidence suggests that the diets of both adult and nestling Ibises included garbage from a nearby dump. The mean clutch size was 2.5 +- 0.72 in 1988 and 2.6 +- 0.72 in 1989. The probability of a nest surviving to produce at least one 10-day-old nestling was 45.8% and 54.1% for 1988 and 1989, respectively. Success was higher for nests on islands at the periphery of the colony than on islands more centrally located. This resulted from reduced interactions between nesting Ibises and Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis) and, reduced egg predation by grackles (Quiscalus spp.) at the periphery of the colony. Both clutch size and reproductive success were within the ranges previously reported for Ibises at other colonies that did not supplement their diets with garbage.

Title: Effectiveness of a multidisciplinary program on pregnancy outcomes for an adolescent population: A comparative study.
Creator: Adam, Barbara J., Florida Atlantic University, Hektor, Lynne M.
Abstract/Description: The high rate of adolescent pregnancies and births in the United States has had an extensive impact on individual, family, community, and national issues related to health and economics. Teenagers, many of whom are already of lower socioeconomic status, are at risk for preterm birth and low birth weight, as well as incomplete use of available services. This inquiry used a retrospective comparative research design to evaluate the effectiveness of Project Teen in Palm Beach County, Florida....
Show moreThe high rate of adolescent pregnancies and births in the United States has had an extensive impact on individual, family, community, and national issues related to health and economics. Teenagers, many of whom are already of lower socioeconomic status, are at risk for preterm birth and low birth weight, as well as incomplete use of available services. This inquiry used a retrospective comparative research design to evaluate the effectiveness of Project Teen in Palm Beach County, Florida. Project Teen is a multidisciplinary program offering a continuum of support services to pregnant adolescents and newly parenting adolescents and their infants until the infants are 2 years old. Through frequent contacts, home visitation, resource referral, counseling, and education the health care professionals collaborate with the clients to facilitate clients' choices which will maximize families' health potential. Home visitation by care coordinators and senior community health nurses was positively related to pregnancy, family health, and family socioeconomic outcomes.

Title: Time-activity budgets and displacement rates in Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus) in the absence and presence of humans.
Creator: Abernathy, Jim., Florida Atlantic University, Adams, Ralph M.
Abstract/Description: The effects of human presence on displacement behavior and time-activity budgets of free-ranging manatees (Trichechus manatus) are poorly known. The congregation of manatees and human tourists in the warm waters of Crystal River, Florida, during the winter months offered a unique opportunity to study these effects. Focal animal sampling was used to gather behavioral data on manatees during randomly selected daylight sampling periods. Frequencies of displacement were correlated with numbers of...

The congregation of manatees and human tourists in the warm waters of Crystal River, Florida, during the winter months offered a unique opportunity to study these effects. Focal animal sampling was used to gather behavioral data on manatees during randomly selected daylight sampling periods. Frequencies of displacement were correlated with numbers of humans to determine if incidences of displacement were increased. Displacement increased with human presence. Maintenance and sexual behaviors decreased as human presence increased.

Title: Growth of Tilapia mariae (Boulenger) fry in different salinities.
Creator: Garcia, Eileen Leonor, Florida Atlantic University, Adams, Ralph M., Courtenay, Walter R. Jr.
Abstract/Description: Gradual salinity acclimatization and growth studies were performed on fry of the spotted tilapia, Tilapia mariae. First, fry were successfully brought to a salinity of 40%. in 8 weeks by gradual weekly increments of 5 %.. Second, fry were exposed separately for nine weeks to salinities of 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 %.. Fish grew best at 5 and 10 %. (p
Show moreGradual salinity acclimatization and growth studies were performed on fry of the spotted tilapia, Tilapia mariae. First, fry were successfully brought to a salinity of 40%. in 8 weeks by gradual weekly increments of 5 %.. Second, fry were exposed separately for nine weeks to salinities of 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 %.. Fish grew best at 5 and 10 %. (p < 0.05) and least at 30 %.. At nine weeks, fish at 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30%. appeared to be osmoregulating, as indicated by osmolarities of their inner body fluids. These results suggest that Tilapia mariae may become a competitive threat to fishes in native estuarine environments in southern Florida.

Title: Health evaluation of African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) in southern Africa.
Creator: Parsons, Nola J., Gous, Tertius A., Schaefer, Adam M., Vanstreels, Ralph E.T., Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
Abstract/Description: The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is an endangered seabird that breeds along the coast of Namibia and South Africa, and disease surveillance was identified as a priority for its conservation. Aiming for the establishment of baseline data on the presence of potential pathogens in this species, a comprehensive health assessment (blood smear examination, haematology, biochemistry and serology) was conducted on samples obtained from 578 African penguins at 11 breeding colonies and a...
Show moreThe African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is an endangered seabird that breeds along the coast of Namibia and South Africa, and disease surveillance was identified as a priority for its conservation. Aiming for the establishment of baseline data on the presence of potential pathogens in this species, a comprehensive health assessment (blood smear examination, haematology, biochemistry and serology) was conducted on samples obtained from 578 African penguins at 11 breeding colonies and a rehabilitation centre. There were 68 penguins that were seropositive for at least one of seven pathogens tested: avian encephalomyelitis virus, avian infectious bronchitis virus, avian reovirus, infectious bursal disease virus, Newcastle disease virus, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae. All samples were seronegative for avian influenza virus subtypes H5 and H7 and infectious laryngotracheitis virus. The apparent prevalence of Babesia sp. and Borrelia sp. in blood smears was consistent with previous studies. Babesia-infected individuals had a regenerative response of the erythrocytic lineage, an active inflammatory response and hepatic function impairment. These findings indicate that African penguins may be exposed to conservation-significant pathogens in the wild and encourage further studies aiming for the direct detection and/or isolation of these microorganisms.

Two identical groups of students participated in the experiment; one group actively and physically involved in the educational process; the other less actively and physically involved. The raw score data were statistically analyzed. The mean, median and ninety-five percent confidence interval were similar for both groups. Thus, attempts to physically involve these students will not increase their achievement. The current methods of teaching, curricula and building designs are discussed.
