Abstract/Description

Most marine organisms partition particular activities, such as growth, migration, reproduction, and hatching, to particular seasons, times of the day or night, or phases of the lunar cycle. The result is characterized as a “rhythm”. Scientists who study these rhythms generally ask two kinds of questions: why do they occur when they do that is, what is their survival value, and how are they controlled, physiologically?

Show moreMost marine organisms partition particular activities, such as growth, migration, reproduction, and hatching, to particular seasons, times of the day or night, or phases of the lunar cycle. The result is characterized as a “rhythm”. Scientists who study these rhythms generally ask two kinds of questions: why do they occur when they do that is, what is their survival value, and how are they controlled, physiologically? Hatchling marine turtles almost always emerge from their nests at night, then crawl down the beach to the sea and migrate offshore. By doing so at night they avoid lethally warm beach sands and diurnally active predators in the shallows. But these “survival value” explanations do not account for how the turtles, digging their way upward inside the nest toward the beach surface, know that it’s dark and time to emerge. The classic explanation for how they “know” is based upon surface sand temperatures. During the day, these sands can be very warm 50° C. When hatchlings digging upward encounter these heated sands, they stop digging until the sand cools, after sunset. But these observations fail to explain why in most studies, hatchlings rarely emerge from their nests at dawn or in the early morning, when the sand is still cool. To account for those observations, we hypothesize that the turtles must also possess a time sense that inhibits emergence during inappropriate times, such as shortly before or after sunrise.

Show moreA spatial analysis of vegetation community changes over time at the Arthur R. Marshall National Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge will be conducted in order to identify relationships with variations in water level and water quality. The analysis will use existing current and historical data in the refuge, including water gages, vegetation surveys, fire burn data, Lidar based digital elevation data and aerial photography acquired from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Everglades Depth Estimation Network EDEN, South Florida Water Management District and other sources. Understanding how vegetation boundaries and dominant species shift over time in response to water level changes and other hydrological factors will allow the National Wildlife Refuge, and other scientists, to create more responsive conservation and maintenance plans for the wetland refuge.

Show moreSpectral signatures quickly aid the analysis of sand composition because specific wavelengths correspond with distinct minerals. This provides objectivity to traditional microscopic methods, with the option to create a custom spectral library for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing HRS applications. Removal of salt as a precipitated solid from sea water is useful for clearer microscopic viewing of sand because certain grains are less likely to be misidentified as crystalized salt. Though removal of salts aids in qualitative visual identification, it is problematic for studies requiring spectral reflectance data to match real-life conditions. Spectroradiometric techniques were used to assess the effects of salt in spectral signatures of sand. Sand samples of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate composition were collected from 15 locations across the southeastern Florida coast. Spectral plots were generated from laboratory collected data with an ASD Spectroradiometer. Spectral data was collected before and after samples were prepared for microscopic study. Laboratory-prepared samples show negative slope at approximately 1500 nm and 2000 nm ranges on the generated plots. These wavelengths are indicative of grains having either predominately carbonate or siliciclastic compositions, which agrees with the microscopic analysis. Salts present in a sample affect the spectral signature, thus salt removal yields spectral plots not necessarily concurrent with plots generated from raw, unprepared samples. For studies utilizing airborne HRS data, the order of data collection and preparation is important. To ensure a more precise match between the spectral library and the hyperspectral imagery, spectral data must be collected before the sample is prepared for microscopic analysis.
