Show moreThe projects described in this dissertation concentrated on investigating Caribbean species for qualitative and quantitative chemical differences. Chapter one includes a brief update on the status of natural products as drugs, a discussion of the biodiversity of Caribbean marine organisms as well as a discussion about the chemistry of algae and sponges. In chapter two, an experiment to test for possible effects of warmer, more acidic water and how that will impact coral reef organisms was conducted. Six common Caribbean coral reef sponge species were grown in seawater for 24 days ranging from values experienced at summer-maxima (temperature = 28 ºC; pH = 8.1) to those predicted for the year 2100 (T = 31 ºC; pH = 7.8). For each species, attachment rates, growth, and survival were similar between temperature and pH levels. Only two metabolite concentrations varied significantly between treatments but were similar to baseline levels. In chapter three, a chemical survey of Florida Keys algae was performed using MeOH extraction and HP-20 SPE with varying Me2CO:H2O solutions. 1H NMR spectra were collected for each fraction and analyzed for interesting signals. A Laurencia sp. was extracted and found to contain the known compound isodactylyne (61) with the structure determined using spectroscopic analyses. In chapter four, a Laurencia obtusa specimen was investigated to determine the compound causing oxygenated signals between 4.50 – 4.80 ppm in the 1H NMR spectra observed in chapter three. A large scale extraction and fractionation was performed and the compound was determined to be 1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-myristoyl-3-O-(6-sulfo-α- D-quinovo-pyranosyl)-glycerol (63). In chapter five, the isolation and structural elucidation of a new compound, furocaespitanenone (64) and two known compounds (10R)- and (10S)-10-O-methylfurocaespitanelactol 65 and 66, from a Laurencia sp. collected off of the Florida Keys using MeOH extraction and HP-20 column chromatography is described. A potential biosynthesis of 64 from furocaepsitane (68) is proposed.

- Title
- "Wide Sargasso Sea": The Sargasso Sea as metaphor.
- Creator
- Kirkman, Kristi M., Florida Atlantic University, Lewis, Krishnakali
- Abstract/Description
-
Physical attributes of the Sargasso Sea are integral to tropes of the imaginative recovery of a Caribbean history, which is the project of Jean Rhys's novel, Wide Sargasso Sea. Like the ever-changing sea, history changes, as well; this analogy, articulated by Derek Walcott's line, "History is Sea," draws attention to bow, like the ever-changing sea, Rhys's novel not only changes literary history, but illustrates how history itself changes constantly. Other physical attributes of the sea,...
Show morePhysical attributes of the Sargasso Sea are integral to tropes of the imaginative recovery of a Caribbean history, which is the project of Jean Rhys's novel, Wide Sargasso Sea. Like the ever-changing sea, history changes, as well; this analogy, articulated by Derek Walcott's line, "History is Sea," draws attention to bow, like the ever-changing sea, Rhys's novel not only changes literary history, but illustrates how history itself changes constantly. Other physical attributes of the sea, including circular currents, temperature, survival tactics of the sea's inhabitants, and sargassum fragmentation, subtly highlight Wide Sargasso Sea's distinctly Caribbean elements. Rhys's title, Wide Sargasso Sea, appropriately emphasizes the Sargasso Sea, which serves as metaphor for the novel's revisionary work.

- Title
- Postglacial expansion of Rhizophora Mangle l. In the Caribbean Sea and Florida.
- Creator
- Kennedy, John Paul, Devlin, Donna, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
- Abstract/Description
-
The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was a period of massive range contraction for numerous taxa, including the water-dispersed mangrove species, Rhizophora mangle L. Following the LGM, R. mangle expanded poleward via propagule transport by ocean currents. In this study, we use microsatellite loci to characterize the genetic structure of nine R. mangle populations and compare potential expansion pathways that resulted in the colonization of the Florida peninsula and Caribbean islands.

Show moreThe Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was a period of massive range contraction for numerous taxa, including the water-dispersed mangrove species, Rhizophora mangle L. Following the LGM, R. mangle expanded poleward via propagule transport by ocean currents. In this study, we use microsatellite loci to characterize the genetic structure of nine R. mangle populations and compare potential expansion pathways that resulted in the colonization of the Florida peninsula and Caribbean islands. Results show comparatively greater genetic connectivity between the Caribbean mainland and Florida, a similar pattern between West Africa and Caribbean islands, and substantial admixture on the island of San Salvador, the Bahamas. We conclude that Florida and Caribbean island R. mangle populations were likely recolonized via different expansion pathways. Estimates of recent migration rates are low and populations are structured into three regions (Caribbean mainland, Caribbean islands, Florida). These findings provide insight for future management and conservation initiatives.
