Trail Length And Nutritional Value For Atta Cephalotes, December 2003, Erin Jacubec

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The leaf-cutter ant Atta cephalotes has a complex society including workers who forage for leaf fragments used to grow fungus for food. The purpose of this project was to find if A. cephalotes’ head size and foraged leaf fragment size and quality changes with trail length. Twelve trail lengths were measured and fifty leaf fragments and ant head measurements were collected per trail. The leaf fragments and whole leaf samples were measured for nitrogen content and toughness. Results showed negative relationships between trail length and wet weight (simple regression, P=.0083) and trail length and dry weight (simple regression, P=.0007). Increasing …

Fishing-Dependent Communities On The Gulf Coast Of Florida: Their Identification, Recent Decline And Present Resilience, Yu, Huang

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

U.S. fisheries legislation requires National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to attend to the critical social and economic issues surrounding the definition and identification of fishing communities, and to the effects that changes to the physical environment and regulatory decisions can have on such communities. To fulfil their mandate, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) sponsored the research entitled "Identifying Fishing Communities in the Gulf of Mexico" to study the economic, social and cultural status of potential fishing communities along the Gulf of Mexico.

NMFS contracted the research project to Impact Assessment, Inc. to study 80 plus potential fishing communities in the …

Congruence Among Mathematics Skills Used On The Job By Practical Nurses Vs. The Prerequisite Skills Required For Admission Into The Practical Nursing Program, G H. Clary

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The standard for evaluating a student's mathematic ability (grade level) for admission to many vocational-technical programs is through the administration of the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE). There has come forth a concern from vocational educators, that students entering programs may not be prepared for the mathematics required by the curriculum, even though the student has met the criteria for entry as established by the state curriculum frameworks as evidenced by their scores on a TABE which had recently been administered. Furthermore, questions raised among instructional, administrative and guidance personnel about the congruence of math skills required on the …

The Fourth Tampa Bay Area Scientific Information Symposium Basis 4, S. F. Treat

Reports

We have observed large fluctuations in Tampa Bay fish populations over the last decade, and these changes may be associated with the environment, management practices, or other factors. Staff of the Florida Fish and Wildlife and Conservation Commission’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute began developing the Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) program in 1988 and have monitored fish populations in Tampa Bay continuously since 1989. Various types of sampling gear have been utilized during the history of FIM, but 21.3-m bag seines have been used since the beginning of the program. This small seine is effective at capturing juveniles of many economically …

Diversity And Production Of Phytoplankton In The Offshore Mississippi River Plume And Coastal Environments, Boris Wawrik

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

River discharge leads to extensive phytoplankton blooms often observed in ocean color satellite images to extend far into the open ocean as high chlorophyll plumes. We investigated diversity, distribution and ecology of phytoplankton populations in the Mississippi River plume, both spatially and in the water column using molecular tools. A method was developed for the quantification of diatom/pelagophyte rbcL (large subunit of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase) mRNA using quantitative PCR and applied to cultures and in the plume. The vertical structure of phytoplankton species in the Mississippi River plume was described by flow cytometry, pigments, rbcL mRNA and rbcL cDNA libraries. High …

Effects Of Cecropia Obtusifolia Leaf Ingestion On Lung Capacity, September 2003, Catherine Ross

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

People in developing countries have traditionally used forests as sources of local, cheap medicines. One plant used throughout the Neotropics is Cecropia spp., most notably for asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine if tea made from Cecropia obtusifolialeaves increases lung capacity and in what time frame this takes place. This was accomplished by treating a group of people with Cecropia tea for five days and another group with a placebo treatment and comparing the change in lung capacity of the two. The short term change in the placebo group had a statistically insignificant decrease of 2% while …
