Two New Species Of Netamelita From The Caribbean Sea (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea), James Darwin Thomas, J. L. Barnard

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

The previously described species of Netamelita from California and the Gulf of Mexico are reviewed and two new species, N. brocha and N. tabaci, are described from the Florida Keys and Belize, respectively. A key to the species of Netamelita is provided. In the Caribbean Sea these species live on fine coralgal muds in forereef environments at depths of 30-40 m in a distinctive amphipod assemblage dominated by the genera Garosyrrhoe and Metaceradocus. The two new species of Netamelita were observed to plough through fine surficial flocculent materials, head downward, with urosomal appendages elevated above the sediment surface.

The Diet And Feeding Habits Of The Southern Stingray, Dasyatis Americana, In Tropical Shallow Marine Habitats, David S. Gilliam

HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations

The diet and feeding habits of the southern stingray, Dasyatis americana, were investigated through aerial surveys, land-based observations, and quantitative analysis of stomach contents. The field research was conducted in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, central Bahamas. Systematic aerial surveys and the land-based observations were made to determine population density and feeding periodicity in terms of time or tidal phase. In August, 1989, systematic surveys were flown over two cays in the Park; a 12 km² area around Waderick Wells Cay and a 21km² area around Shroud Cay. Both survey areas were flown three times …

The scope for the meta-analysis was limited to inquiry on different learner-control models and their effect on student achievement as represented by posttest scores. Three specific research questions were defined:

1. What are the characteristics of the body of learner-control research which has examined the effect on achievement of learner control?
2. Is there a difference in the achievement of students who are provided with learner control and students who are provided with other control models?
3. Do specific moderator …
