Abstract/Description

The Abacoa Greenway is a manmade artificial water system constructed in the late 1990s, and home to an array of aquatic flora and fauna. There has been no previous survey of the species residing in this area; therefore this will be a foundation for future samplings to compare to. The goal of this study was to compile a species list of fishes inhabiting the freshwater systems of the Abacoa Greenway Ranges IV and V, as well as a classification of exotic and native species inhabiting the area.

There has been no previous survey of the species residing in this area; therefore this will be a foundation for future samplings to compare to. The goal of this study was to compile a species list of fishes inhabiting the freshwater systems of the Abacoa Greenway Ranges IV and V, as well as a classification of exotic and native species inhabiting the area. A total of 11 species have been collected and identified between March 2007 and May 2008. Of these three species have been classified as exotic or introduced and the other eight as native species naturally existing in Florida.

Niche adjustment of the brown anoles after introduction of the curlytail lizard.

Abstract/Description

The effects of the recently introduced species, the curlytail lizard, on the Florida ecosystems are relatively unknown. Previous research conducted in the Bahamas showed that brown anole lizards, once introduced to curlytail lizards, became arboreal to evade the threat of the curlytail lizards. To attempt to see if such a niche shift in the brown anole population is occurring in Florida, data were collected using two areas located on the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of FAU.

Show moreThe effects of the recently introduced species, the curlytail lizard, on the Florida ecosystems are relatively unknown. Previous research conducted in the Bahamas showed that brown anole lizards, once introduced to curlytail lizards, became arboreal to evade the threat of the curlytail lizards. To attempt to see if such a niche shift in the brown anole population is occurring in Florida, data were collected using two areas located on the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of FAU. One area was inhabited by only brown anoles whereas the other area was inhabited by brown anoles and curlytail lizards, the latter which newly invaded this site in 2006. Observations were made by walking through the selected area, and counting and recording all lizards that were visible. Data were collected at specific times during the day, four times a day. After comparing the two locations, it was found that the brown anoles have become arboreal when sharing an environment with curlytail lizards.

Abstract/Description
-
Melaleuca is an invasive exotic tree which is rapidly expanding into essentially every native ecosystem in South Florida. Native to Australia, melaleuca currently has no natural enemies within the region. If left unchecked, melaleuca may eventually degrade all of South Florida's natural wetlands. This study examined eight now heavily melaleuca infested one square mile sites within Southeast Florida over a period of fifteen years. Through historical aerial photo interpretation, patterns and...

Native to Australia, melaleuca currently has no natural enemies within the region. If left unchecked, melaleuca may eventually degrade all of South Florida's natural wetlands. This study examined eight now heavily melaleuca infested one square mile sites within Southeast Florida over a period of fifteen years. Through historical aerial photo interpretation, patterns and rates of melaleuca invasion were described and quantified. These data are discussed and compared to similar studies conducted for other plant species.

Show moreThis dissertation utilized population ecology theory to examine a previously untested population: Florida hospitals. It examined hospital closures in Florida between 1965 and 1995. The statistical technique of survival analysis was used to analyze the data developed for the study. The population ecology literature argues that at the macro level, organizations experience various liabilities to their continued survival. This study examined four of these in the Florida hospital population: size, age, density at closure and density at founding. That is, it looked at the extent to which organizations that were small, mid-size, young, in organizationally dense areas, or established in organizationally dense areas experienced a high risk for mortality compared to other hospitals. The data set for the age and size of Florida hospitals was created using information contained in the 1965 through 1995 annual reports of the American Hospital Association. Hospital locations were geocoded on a map of the state. Density was determined by counting the number of hospitals within a five mile radius of each geocoded location. Two of the propositions suggested in the literature, the liability of age and the liability of density at founding, were confirmed by the survival analysis of the Florida data. Newer hospitals and hospitals founded in organizationally dense areas (five or more hospitals within a five mile radius) experienced a significantly greater incidence of closure than did those which were older or founded in less dense areas. Small hospitals (<100 beds) were also shown to be significantly more likely to close than large ones (>300 beds), as were hospitals located in organizationally sparse areas (no other hospitals in 5 mile radius) compared to those in organizationally dense areas (>5 hospitals in 5 mile radius). The study concluded with an examination of the policy implications of the results. It argued for the addition of a macro, population ecology perspective of hospital closures to existing analytical techniques in order to more fully understand the major risk factors confronting hospitals.

Abstract/Description

An underwater survey was performed between July 1987 and August 1990 focusing on the entire nearshore reef tract situated along the shoreline of Palm Beach County, Florida. Transects, aligned on Florida Department of Natural Resources survey monuments, commenced from the high water mark waterward to the 4 meter isobath. A total of 125 of the 228 transects were found to contain nearshore reefs. A matrix of reef characteristics was created based upon the value of six indices including reef...

Transects, aligned on Florida Department of Natural Resources survey monuments, commenced from the high water mark waterward to the 4 meter isobath. A total of 125 of the 228 transects were found to contain nearshore reefs. A matrix of reef characteristics was created based upon the value of six indices including reef width and profile, biodiversity, beach width, public access and an assessment of the historical permanence of the reef. This matrix, based on "z" scores, provided a means of comparing each nearshore reef transect station within the County. This evaluative scheme was used to develop recommendations for the protection and management of the nearshore reefs.
