Health Of Migrant Nicaraguans In The Monteverde Zone, August 3, 2003, Rebecca Cashman, Elizabeth Geier, Rocio Loria, Rachel Stewart, Joan Tucker, Cassandra Workman

Monteverde Institute: Culture, Community, and Health

Health conditions and health seeking behavior of migrant Nicaraguans in the Monteverde Zone. Nicaraguan migrants are exposed to unique conditions regarding labor, hygiene, physical stresses, and appropriate housing. These conditions vary depending on displacement and migrant status (i.e., temporary or permanent.) There is a significant presence of migrant Nicaraguans in the Monteverde Zone (ZMV), and while many of them share similar experiences, the realities of others are quite distinct. This study focused specifically on health conditions and health-seeking behavior, but other important data collected included information about migratory route, employment, and living conditions. The data allowed us to gain a …

Herbivore Abundance In Simple And Diverse Habitats: The Direct And Indirect Effects Of Plant Diversity And Habitat Structure, Laura F. Altfeld

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Herbivore abundances are determined by a set of interacting factors that vary among different habitat types. Specifically, herbivore abundances in monocultures and polycultures may be governed by the same set of factors but with varying influences in the different habitats. In addition, monophagous and polyphagous herbivores may respond differently to the same set of influencing factors. I examined several abiotic and biotic factors in manipulated monocultures and polycultures of Borrichia frutescens in a west central Florida salt marsh. The experimental plots differed in both plant diversity and aboveground habitat structure to see how each component of diversity contributed to variability …

Tree Size And Habitat Effects On Stream Gall Abundance In Conostegia Oerstediana (Melastomataceae), May 2003, Priya Shashidharan

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The moth Mompha sp. (Coleophoridae, Lepidoptera) is known to induce a stem gall on the tree Conostegia oerstediana (Melastomataceae). There is little known about the distribution and abundance of galls. This study tested the difference in stem gall abundance between varying tree sizes and between two different habitats- pasture and secondary forest. Trees from each habitat were sampled and measured for diameter at breast height (DBH), height, number of branches, and number of galls. A significant difference was found between pasture and forested areas (unpaired t-test, p < 0.0001), with pasture trees having more galls. No relation was found relating tree size (DBH, height, number of branches) to gall abundance. I conclude from these results that tree size is not directly related to stem gall abundance. Instead, differences in habitats, such as predator and parasite abundance and host density, may be important factors that influence gall abundance.

Rolled-Leaf Hispine Herbivory Of Heliconia Spp. (Heliconiaceae) Over An Altitudinal Gradient, May 2003, Sarah Bachman

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Hispine beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Hispinae) are herbivores of the Order Zingiberales (Strong 1977a). In Monteverde area there are three known species of Heliconiaceae (Zingiberales): Heliconia monteverdensis, H. tortuosa, and H. vaginalis (Haber, 1990). H. monteverdensis is a high elevation species (1500 – 1800m) whose range does not overlap with H. vaginalis, a low elevation species (700-1300m). H. tortuosa occurs along the elevational gradient from San Luis (1000m) to the forest behind the Estación Biológica de Monteverde (1760m) where this study was performed, and overlaps in geographical range with the other two species. In this study I looked at patterns of …

Hearing Evaluation In Infants: An Update For Pediatricians, Janet E. Sullivan

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This paper provides an overview of developmental timetables relevant to hearing and of current pediatric audiological techniques and practices. The first sections summarize structural and functional development of the auditory pathway and the development of primary auditory processing. These developmental sequences appear to follow similar paths in humans and animals. Speech and music perception involve more complex processing and are strongly influenced by experience. Hearing disorders affect the perception of complex sounds in a variety of ways, depending on the site(s) of lesions. Early onset hearing impairment, including conductive loss from chronic otitis media, can seriously impede language development.
