The Effects Of Fire On Spore Viability Of Lygodium Microphyllum (Old World Climbing Fern), Nicole Sebesta
The Effects Of Fire On Spore Viability Of Lygodium Microphyllum (Old World Climbing Fern), Nicole Sebesta
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Lygodium microphyllum, native to the Old World tropics, has invaded central and southern Florida, destroying native habitats, reducing biodiversity and altering fire regimes. Prescribed fire, one of several methods used to manage L. microphyllum infestations, reduces fern biomass over large areas, but its effects on spore viability are unknown. To provide tools to evaluate whether fire-dispersed spores are viable, this research determined how heat affects spore viability. Spores were exposed to temperatures of 50°C to 300°C for durations of 5 seconds to 1 hour, then allowed to germinate on agar in petri plates. Percent germination was assayed after two …

This poster presentation from the May 2015 Florida Library Association Conference, along with the Everglades Explorer discovery portal at http://ee.fiu.edu, demonstrates how traditional bibliographic and curatorial principles can be applied to: 1) selection, cross-walking and aggregation of metadata linking end-users to wide-spread digital resources from multiple silos; 2) harvesting of select PDFs, HTML and media for web archiving and access; 3) selection of CMS domains, sub-domains and folders for targeted searching using an API.
Choosing content for this discovery portal is comparable to past scholarly practice of creating and publishing subject bibliographies, except metadata and data are housed in …
Pollination, Herbivory, And Habitat Fragmentation: Their Effects On The Reproductive Fitness Of Angadenia Berteroi, A Native Perennial Plant Of The South Florida Pine Rocklands, Beyte Barrios Roque
Pollination, Herbivory, And Habitat Fragmentation: Their Effects On The Reproductive Fitness Of Angadenia Berteroi, A Native Perennial Plant Of The South Florida Pine Rocklands, Beyte Barrios Roque
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Angadenia berteroi is a tropical perennial subshrub of the pine rocklands with large yellow flowers that set very few fruits. My dissertation seeks to elucidate the factors that affect the reproductive fitness of Angadenia berteroi a native species of the south Florida pine rocklands. I provide novel information on the pollination biology of this native species. I also assess the effects of herbivory on growth and the reproductive success of A. berteroi. Finally, I elucidate how habitat fragmentation and quality are correlated with reproductive fitness of this native perennial plant.
Using a novel experimental approach, I determined the most effective …
