The Effects Of Human-Caused Disturbances On Water Quality And The Capability Of River Ecosystems To Recover From Disturbances: Using Benthic Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Water Quality, September 2000, M. P. Miller Sep 2000

The Effects Of Human-Caused Disturbances On Water Quality And The Capability Of River Ecosystems To Recover From Disturbances: Using Benthic Macroinvertebrates As Indicators Of Water Quality, September 2000, M. P. Miller

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Degraded watersheds are considered a source of pollution input in rivers. The effects of human-caused disturbances and the abilities of rivers to recover from disturbances were analyzed in three rivers in the around the area of Monteverde, Costa Rica. This was done using benthic macroinvertebrate pollution tolerance levels (FBI), turbidity levels, and macroinvertebrate diversity. Diversity was found to be lowest in the disturbed sites of all three rivers (Modified T-test: 0.002 < p < 0.001). A pattern of maximum FBI values and turbidity levels at disturbance sites was also found to exist; and Escherichia coli were present at all sample sites in all rivers. The data from all rivers was combined for each site and regression analyses were performed. This data suggests that human-caused disturbances will result in decreased species diversity, increased FBI-values, and increased turbidity levels. The results also indicate that rivers have the ability to recover from small-scale human disturbances. The findings of this study support the idea that in order to maintain the diversity of both aquatic and terrestrial organisms as well as clean water for human use, humans need to take into account the effects of their actions on river systems.


Rates Of Fungus Infection In Coffee Plantations At Varying Distances From Forest Edge, September 2000, Julia Crown Sep 2000

Rates Of Fungus Infection In Coffee Plantations At Varying Distances From Forest Edge, September 2000, Julia Crown

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Coffee (Coffea arabica, Rubiaceae) is an important economic crop for many small farmers in Monteverde, Costa Rica. The humid, cool and dark conditions near the forest as compared to the middle of a plantation provide an optimal habitat for fungal growth. In each of three different farms in Cañitas, three transects were set from the forest edge into the plantations. The amount of fungus on the coffee leaves was measured at varying distances away from the forests. A significant increase in the percent of fungus on the leaves between zero meters and five meters into the plantations was found (3-way …


The Adolescent's Stake In The Allocation Of Educational Control Between Parent And State, Emily Buss Sep 2000

The Adolescent's Stake In The Allocation Of Educational Control Between Parent And State, Emily Buss

University of Chicago Law Review

Courts, policymakers, and scholars have long struggled with the question of how to allocate educational control between parents and the state, particularly where parents' preferences are religiously motivated. While the debate reflects a broad range of viewpoints, these viewpoints share a common blind spot: They focus on the state's interest in imparting certain knowledge and skills, and ignore the state's interest in facilitating interactions among ideologically diverse peers. This Article argues that, particularly for older adolescents, the nature of their peer interactions has a far bigger impact on their development than does the content of their curriculum. Drawing on the …

Effect Of Fragment Size On Non-Volant Mammals In La Cruz And Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2000, Seema Sheth Sep 2000

Effect Of Fragment Size On Non-Volant Mammals In La Cruz And Monteverde, Costa Rica, September 2000, Seema Sheth

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fragment size on terrestrial, fruit-eating mammals. In this study, it was expected that there would be smaller mammals in small fragments than in large ones due to limited resources and fewer predators. In each of five fragments of different sizes and in a section of continuous forest, plantains were used to bait mammals, and each site was checked every other day for damage to bait. Based on observations of bite marks on plantains, for groups of mammals were identified: small rodents, opossums, agoutis and pacas, and coatis. Number of …


Hymenoptera Diversity Between Pasture, Ecotone, And Secondary Forest Fragments, September 2000, Mia E. Kiistala Sep 2000

Hymenoptera Diversity Between Pasture, Ecotone, And Secondary Forest Fragments, September 2000, Mia E. Kiistala

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Deforestation and forest fragmentation has been shown to have varying effects on biodiversity. In general, invertebrate diversity is expected to increase in the edge areas created by forest fragments. This study looked at the diversity of Hymenoptera in pasture, ecotone and secondary forest fragment in La Cruz to observe the effects of different habitats in diversity. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index values for pasture, ecotone and forest were 1.146, 1378 and 1.674 respectively, indicating highest diversity in the forest. Significant differences were found between the Shannon-Weiner diversity index comparisons (p <0.001).


A Comparison In Medicinal Plant Composition Of Primary And Secondary Growth Stands By Herbalist And Medicinal Literature References, September 2000, Jill Jankowski, Nichole Leger Sep 2000

A Comparison In Medicinal Plant Composition Of Primary And Secondary Growth Stands By Herbalist And Medicinal Literature References, September 2000, Jill Jankowski, Nichole Leger

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

We assessed the medicinal plant composition of a primary and secondary forest stand in lower montane wet forest in La Cruz, Costa Rica. Herbaceous and woody plant species above 45cm and below 200 cm in height (excluding vines and ferns) were collected identified and evidence for possible medicinal properties sought in both medicinal reference books and from local herbalist. We found approximately the same overall and medicinal diversity in both stands, but the species composition changed between primary and secondary forests. From our interviews with local herbalists, we found that herbalists knew more medicinal species in secondary growth than primary …


The Effects Of Patch Size On Hummingbird Visitation And Pollination In Habracanthus Belpharohachis, September 2000, Monica Lisa Saldana Sep 2000

The Effects Of Patch Size On Hummingbird Visitation And Pollination In Habracanthus Belpharohachis, September 2000, Monica Lisa Saldana

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

In tropical forests, plant species are sparsely distributed and in order to increase their probability of pollination they have developed bright, showy flowers that offer nectar to attract pollinators. In this study, I examined how the pollination rates are affected by the number of inflorescences present in patches of Habracanthus belpharohachis. In order to do this, I measured the percent of pollinated flowers from 22 small patches with one to five inflorescences, and flowers from 14 large patches with more than 15 inflorescences. I also recorded the number of visitations by the primary pollinator of H. belpharohachis, the Purple-throated Mountain-gem …


Anti-Predator Behavior In Birds: Reactions To Raptor Calls, September 2000, Robin Elahi Sep 2000

Anti-Predator Behavior In Birds: Reactions To Raptor Calls, September 2000, Robin Elahi

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Birds display a number of defense mechanisms against their predators, including camouflage, mobbing, fleeing, and aggregational behavior. I studied the responses of 32 bird species to songbird and raptor calls to see if birds displayed anti-predator behavior in response to raptor calls in comparison with songbird calls. One focus of my study was avian defensive strategies, namely flocking and concealment, so observations took into consideration different conditions: whether the bird was solitary or in a group, and whether it was exposed or hidden in vegetation. A previous study showed that crows could distinguish between raptor calls of their predators and …
