Title: An Introduced Primate Species, Chlorocebus Sabaeus, in Dania Beach, Florida: Investigating Origins, Demographics, and Anthropogenic Implications of an Established Population.
Creator: Williams, Deborah M., Detwiler, Kate, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description: Nonnative species are reshaping global ecosystems. The success of a nonnative species hinges on both biological and cultural variables. Primates represent a minority of nonnative species but warrant research to understand ecological implications and management solutions. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recognizes three species of nonnative primates in Florida that include populations of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Marion County, squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp.) in...
Show moreNonnative species are reshaping global ecosystems. The success of a nonnative species hinges on both biological and cultural variables. Primates represent a minority of nonnative species but warrant research to understand ecological implications and management solutions. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recognizes three species of nonnative primates in Florida that include populations of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in Marion County, squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp.) in Broward County, and green monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus) in Broward County. This study focused on the Dania Beach C. sabaeus population. The goals of this study were to: 1) determine the geographical origins and species of the monkeys, 2) record demographics and determine population growth rate, 3) assess the public’s perception of monkeys, and 4) understand the influence of human provisioning on the population’s behavior and biology. Public surveys and direct field observations of social groups provided baseline data to show that unlike other introduced primates (e.g., macaques in Marion County and green monkeys in the Caribbean), the Dania Beach monkey population has strong public support and is at risk of extinction within the next 100 years.

Prior to this study, limited information was available regarding burrow commensal species in southeast Florida, especially for invertebrate taxa. This study is an in-depth investigation of vertebrate and invertebrate gopher tortoise burrow commensals and is the first to document obligate invertebrate commensals (OIC) in this region.

Show moreGopher tortoise (Gopherus Polyphemus) burrows provide a unique microhabitat used by hundreds of vertebrate and invertebrate species. Prior to this study, limited information was available regarding burrow commensal species in southeast Florida, especially for invertebrate taxa. This study is an in-depth investigation of vertebrate and invertebrate gopher tortoise burrow commensals and is the first to document obligate invertebrate commensals (OIC) in this region. The objective was to test a variety of noninvasive methods effective for surveying commensals, compile an account of species dependent on gopher tortoise burrows in southeast Florida, accumulate information on threatened, endangered, and invasive species, add to the distributional information on OIC’s, and present information to land managers. Three pine flatwoods and three scrub habitats, with varying degrees of management were surveyed. Eighty-nine species were identified. This study was a substantial step toward documenting gopher tortoise burrow commensals in this region.

Title: Unraveling the molecular mechanism of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in controlling oxidized RNA.
Creator: Malla, Sulochan, Li, Zhongwei, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Biomedical Science, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Oxidation by reactive oxygen species is the major source of RNA damaging insult in living organisms. Increased RNA oxidation has been strongly implicated in a wide range of human diseases; predominantly neurodegeneration. Oxidized RNA should be removed from the cellular system to prevent their deleterious effect to the cells and organisms. In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are the major intracellular sources of ROS and may cause greater damage to the mitochondrial RNA. In this study, we first...
Show moreOxidation by reactive oxygen species is the major source of RNA damaging insult in living organisms. Increased RNA oxidation has been strongly implicated in a wide range of human diseases; predominantly neurodegeneration. Oxidized RNA should be removed from the cellular system to prevent their deleterious effect to the cells and organisms. In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are the major intracellular sources of ROS and may cause greater damage to the mitochondrial RNA. In this study, we first investigated the RNA oxidation, by measuring the level of 8-hydroxy-Guanosine (8-oxo-Guo), inside mitochondria and cytoplasm in cultured human cells. We discovered that the mitochondrial 8-oxo-Guo is higher than its cytoplasmic counterparts under both normal growth and oxidative stress condition. Next, we explored the role of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in controlling RNA oxidation inside mitochondria and cytoplasm. hPNPase binds to oxidized RNA with higher affinity, reduces the 8-oxo-Guo level in total RNA and protects cells against oxidative stress. In this study, the molecular mechanism of hPNPase in 8-oxo-Guo reduction was investigated. First, the effect of hPNPase activities on the 8-oxo-Guo level in mitochondria and cytoplasm was examined. The knockdown of hPNPase increased both the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic 8-oxo-Guo, whereas overexpression had the opposite effect. Second, our study revealed that hSUV3, an RNA helicase that forms a functional complex with hPNPase in mitochondria, was dispensable in reducing 8-oxo-Guo levels.

Title: Investigating vertebrate relationships of the south Florida gopher tortoise: a study of vertebrate species within scrub, pine rockland, coastal hammock and grassland habitats.
Creator: Melanson, Lauren, Frazier, Evelyn, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Biological Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: The gopher tortoise is a keystone species that creates networks of underground burrows that are home to an additional 350 species, where 60 are vertebrates. Vertebrates have been shown to differ between habitat types and seasonally, but limited information is known about vertebrate associates in our region. This study was one of the first to investigate this in our region of south Florida. This study was designed to investigate factors that may affect the presence of vertebrates at gopher...
Show moreThe gopher tortoise is a keystone species that creates networks of underground burrows that are home to an additional 350 species, where 60 are vertebrates. Vertebrates have been shown to differ between habitat types and seasonally, but limited information is known about vertebrate associates in our region. This study was one of the first to investigate this in our region of south Florida. This study was designed to investigate factors that may affect the presence of vertebrates at gopher tortoise burrows. Camera data was collected to determine vertebrate presence and if specific vertebrate groups elicit a territorial response from the tortoise, while habitat vegetation surveys and weather data were collected to evaluate seasonality. Statistical analysis showed variation in vertebrate presence both seasonally and by habitat type. Few territorial interactions were observed overall. This study acts as a starting point to increase our understanding of local tortoise populations.
