38) Hialeah Park Hialeah Park contains one of horse racings oldest and most prominent tracks. Built in 1925 as a resort facility, the park was modeled after European racing sites such as Longchamps in France and several notable tracks in England. Bought in 1930 by Joseph Widener, the park was redesigned and includes a Renaissance Revival clubhouse, associated buildings and formal landscaped gardens of flora and fauna native to southern Florida. The park has a lake with several islands inhabited by large flocks of pink flamingos. Hialeah Park has become so famous for these birds that it has been officially designated a sanctuary for the American Flamingo by the Audubon Society. The racetrack and associated buildings are among the oldest existing recreational facilities in southern Florida. Originally built to attract the rich and famous who rode special trains to the park from Palm Beach, Hialeah Park has contributed to the development and popularization of southern Florida as a winter resort. ...

FLORIDA: The Calusa Indians, who ruled much of southern Florida in the pre-Columbian era, are known for their sophisticated engineering projects. These included artificial islands and canals at their capital of Mound Key. They also created large lagoons called watercourts out of shells and sediments. These enclosures, which date to the 14th century, acted as holding tanks, allowing the Calusa to trap and store large numbers of fish in the subtropical climate. ...

Mrs. Phactor set a new record on Friday. At 5:30 AM when she departed it was -5 degrees F (-20.5 C) and by noon she was in southern Florida at 80 F (26.6 C), an 85 degree temperature shift in a matter of hours. But although not as drastic, the return from tropical to arctic is always much harder, and that comes from having returned from tropical field work into our winter on several occasions. No fun it that what so ever, however the worst aspect is not the temperature shift but the difference in humidity and the horrible things that does to my aging dermis. ...

The range encompasses southern Florida, including Charlotte, Collier, and Lee counties on the Gulf Coast and Miami-Dade County on the Atlantic Coast (Timm and Genoways 2004); the species is known mainly from the Miami, Coral Gables, and Fort Lauderdale areas. According to Timm and Genoways (2004), In the greater Miami area, only three records exist of the Florida bonneted bat after 1965. The most recent of these are from the 1990s; one is a single recent specimen from Coral Gables and one is an acoustic recording. Additionally, an extant, albeit probably small, population occurs along Floridas southwestern coast in Lee County near Fort Myers and adjacent Collier County in the Fakahatchee-Big Cypress area. Excluding fossil records, Eumops floridanus was first recorded at Miami in 1936. A pregnant female was captured in Coral Gables in 1988, indicating the continued existence of this species in Florida after an earlier survey concluded that the subspecies probably was extinct (Belwood 1992). ...

The Burmese python is the most widely known of these invaders, and this giant snake appears to have contributed to drastic declines among several species of midsized mammals in the Everglades. However, other large predatory species including the Argentine tegu and Northern African Python are also established in southern Florida, and the potential impacts of these species are not widely understood.. FORT scientists are conducting research on a range of detection and control tools for invasive reptiles in Florida, including environmental DNA sampling methods, trap development and field testing, and validation of visual searching efficacy. Scientists are also conducting basic ecological research to better understand impacts of these invasive predators and to identify ecological or behavioral vulnerabilities that can be exploited by control tools..

ABSTRACT: Florida Bay, a shallow, seagrass-dominated bay in southern Florida, USA, receives significant nutrient inputs and has experienced seagrass losses and microalgal blooms within the last several decades. Inorganic nutrient inputs have been well characterized, but the role of organic nutrients, specifically of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and organic phosphorus (DOP), in supporting microbial processes in the bay is unknown. In this study various techniques were used to assess the importance of these nutrients along a transect in Florida Bay when a cyanobacterial bloom occurred in the central region in November 2002. These techniques included measurements of ambient particulate and dissolved nutrients, enzyme (urease and alkaline phosphatase) activities, and experiments to determine rates of 15N uptake (nitrate, ammonium, urea, and amino acids over a period of 0.5 h) and long-term (48 h) changes in microbial biomass and 15N natural abundance in enrichment bioassays. The cyanobacterial ...

Should I retire or not? Am I going to be bored? Depressed? This is how filmmaker Marian Marzynski begins his exploration into the land of retirement - Southern Floridas condo communities. Its a humorous, whimsical and sometimes poignant look at what happens to Americans after they reach the age of 65. Marzynski - who is approaching 60 and describes himself as trapped somewhere between a baby boomer and a geezer - forms relationships with several retirees and gets to know their dreams, their satisfactions and their struggles as they socialize and ponder the meaning of their lives. At the start, Marzynski finds the world of senior citizens a bit depressing, at least the way they live it in Floridas condos for seniors. Its a segregated society with the old and young living apart; the retirees are cut-off from family and old friends. Marzynski also discovers that many hold onto the past and miss their productive years of work. Its part of the culture of America he says: We are a society not ...

South Florida has two big problems. The first is its remarkably flat topography. Half the area that surrounds Miami is less than five feet above sea level. Its highest natural elevation, a limestone ridge that runs from Palm Beach to just south of the city, averages a scant 12 feet. With just three feet of sea-level rise, more than a third of southern Florida will vanish; at six feet, more than half will be gone; if the seas rise 12 feet, South Florida will be little more than an isolated archipelago surrounded by abandoned buildings and crumbling overpasses. And the waters wont just come in from the east - because the region is so flat, rising seas will come in nearly as fast from the west too, through the Everglades ...

Pau dArco is a natural herb retrieved from the inner bark of the Tabebuia Avellanedae or Tabebuia Impetiginosa, known as taheebo. The taheebo tree is grown predominantly in Central and South America, but may also be cultivated in southern Florida. Pau dArco, also known as ipe roxo or sometimes lapacho (its derivative), has been used for centuries by the Indio tribes of South America, as well as the ancient Incas and Aztecs ...

Green biosynthesis of silver - functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (Ag/FMWCNT) nanohybride from silver nitrate solution using water extract of Satureja hortensis L as reducing agent and FMWCNT as anchoring agent at room condition was succesfully carried out. Water-soluble organics present in the plant materials were mainly responsible for the reduction of silver ions to nano-sized Ag particles The synthesized nanocomposite were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The UV-Vis spectra of the Ag/FMWCNT nanocomposite showed absorption peak at around 401 nm. SEM and TEM studies showed that the average particles size of Ag/FMWCNT nanocomposite were about 16.05 nm and also XRD patterns indicated that the structure of the nanocomposite is face-centered cubic. The antibacterial effects of Ag/FMWCNT on Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were also performed.

The rediscovery of remnant Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) in southern Florida swamplands prompted a program to protect and stabilize the population. In 1995, conservation managers translocated eight female pumas (P. c. stanleyana) from Texas to increase depleted genetic diversity, improve population numbers, and reverse indications of inbreeding depression. We have assessed the demographic, population-genetic, and biomedical consequences of this restoration experiment and show that panther numbers increased threefold, genetic heterozygosity doubled, survival and fitness measures improved, and inbreeding correlates declined significantly. Although these results are encouraging, continued habitat loss, persistent inbreeding, infectious agents, and possible habitat saturation pose new dilemmas. This intensive management program illustrates the challenges of maintaining populations of large predators worldwide.. ...

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) has been collecting biological data since 2009 from white-tailed deer to estimate the breeding dates for deer across the state. These data have been used to inform management decisions regarding hunting season dates and location of zonal lines. In addition, the data provides local information on peak breeding, something that is of interest to white-tail enthusiasts.. In northern deer ranges, the duration of the breeding season (or rut) is short and there is little variation from area to area. Breeding occurs in the fall, and fawning occurs in the spring. In the southeast, the timing is not as short and deer breeding activity is more variable. However, Florida has more variability in breeding than any other state -- from July in southern Florida to February in northwest Florida. During this ongoing study, FWC biologists have documented breeding to occur in every single month except May. FWC will continue to collect breeding chronology data as needed. ...

When most people think about tarpon, they probably picture a giant, shimmering, 6-foot fish leaping up towards the sky from the crystal-clear waters of southern Florida.

Whether or not you need to worry about mosquitoes depends upon the season in your locality. Different parts of the U.S will experience increased mosquito activity at varying times of the year.. Mosquito activity directly correlates with temperature. Therefore, mosquito season starts when temperatures rise to more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit regularly.. This means that, for many states, mosquitoes will begin to emerge from February or March. However, cooler areas may not reach the desired temperature until June. Warmer states can see mosquito activity all year round.. Southern Florida has one of the earliest mosquito seasons. Generally, Florida will start to see mosquito activity from the beginning of February. This is due to the moist, warm and humid environment throughout the state.. Overall, for a country as large as the U.S., it is impossible to pin down one specific mosquito season. If you are unsure when mosquito season is where you live, there is a handy map which provides information ...

Zika infections in pregnant women have been shown to cause microcephaly-a severe birth defect in which the head and brain are undersized-as well as other brain abnormalities. The connection between Zika and microcephaly first came to light last fall in Brazil, which has since confirmed more than 1,800 cases of microcephaly. In adults, Zika infections have also been linked to a rare neurological syndrome known as Guillain-Barre, as well as other neurological disorders.. Steves Take: Zikas back in the news. Thats right. Its not going away, which our lawmakers seem to think it will if they just ignore it long enough. More on Congress later.. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports over 16,000 cases of the virus in the United States and its territories as of August 31, 2016.

Head to hindquarters, raccoons measure between 40 and 70 cm (16 and 28 in), not including the bushy tail which can measure between 20 and 40 cm (8 and 16 in), but is usually not much longer than 25 cm (10 in).[64][65][66] The shoulder height is between 23 and 30 cm (9 and 12 in).[67] The body weight of an adult raccoon varies considerably with habitat, making the raccoon one of the most variably sized mammals. It can range from 5 to 26 kilograms (10 to 60 lb), but is usually between 5 and 12 kilograms (10 and 30 lb). The smallest specimens live in southern Florida, while those near the northern limits of the raccoons range tend to be the largest (see Bergmanns rule).[68] Males are usually 15 to 20% heavier than females.[69] At the beginning of winter, a raccoon can weigh twice as much as in spring because of fat storage.[70][71][72] The largest recorded wild raccoon weighed 28.4 kg (62.6 lb) and measured 140 cm (55 in) in total length, by far the largest size recorded for a ...

Lets talk a bit about CHADD, and how that was started. Perhaps you can give me an anecdote, because I have no idea how this all began. Who thought of CHADD, and how did it begin?. CHADD started in 1987 in southern Florida. It was the result of an effort by a couple of parents and myself to provide information to people in our community about ADHD. You see, at the time, there were thousands of research articles in scientific journals about attention deficit disorders. But parents were totally confused. School districts knew nothing about ADHD. And there were only maybe three or four books written about ADHD that were available to people.. So we got the idea of having a little support group meeting--an informational meeting, if you will--at a local private school, in Plantation. And we were surprised that over a hundred people showed up, and fit into a tiny little classroom to learn about ADHD. So we said, Well, it seems like theres a need for this, and we decided to have a second meeting, in ...

FLORIDA - 9 Sep, 2017 - Florida Organic Aquaculture (FOA), which recently filed for bankruptcy, has retained Equity Partners HG to seek an investor, partner or buyer for its state-of-the-art, technology-driven shrimp farming operation. Located on 100 acres in Southern Florida, FOA breeds, processes and sells all-natural shrimp for the USA domestic market, from a scientifically advanced, all-natural, indoor, bio-secure, ecologically friendly and sustainable facility.. Florida Organic Aquaculture focused its process on alternative shrimp dietary approaches and successful cultivation processing techniques. A water treatment methodology and emergency backup devices maintain perfect growing conditions year-round. The Companys technological advantages have eliminated the limitations faced by competitors allowing production yields of approximately 20 times more shrimp than traditional pen and pond farms. These production methods enable faster grow-out, making it feasible to sell shrimp that command up ...

hurt only one species of coral, elkhorn coral. Elkhorn coral was once the most common species, but now it is difficult to find in the water near Florida, and it may soon be on the endangered species list.. Scientists have been observing the poor health of the corals near Florida for many years. They called the white spots that formed on elkhorn corals white pox disease and found that it could spread very fast to the all the elkhorn corals within a reef. They could see how the disease was killing the corals, but they didn t know what caused it until Kathryn Patterson, a scientist on the research team, found the bacteria in the bodies of sick corals.. Researchers still don t know exactly how the bacteria get into the corals, but they suspect that sewage pollution is the cause. If water flushed down toilets in southern Florida does not receive proper treatment before it winds up in the ocean, it may contain bacteria that kill corals. We must maintain the highest possible water quality standards in ...

The Manatee Acoustic Detection Sensor Protection System is composed of an array of unique acoustic transmitters and receivers that provide non-contact detection of manatees as they pass through the gates of the lock. When a manatee blocks the acoustic beams, which they cannot hear, the gates stop and remain open long enough to allow them to pass through safely. Harbor Branch recently received a $5.8 million federal contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to install the system in southern Florida on the six navigation locks around Lake Okeechobee. Among these are Moore Haven lock at Clewiston and the Port Mayaca lock where the St. Lucie River meets Lake Okeechobee, a waterway that links the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Renowned as a hub of aquatic research, engineers at Harbor Branch designed manatee protective pressure systems more than a decade ago for canal lift gates used by the South Florida Water Management District. Last summer, the Harbor Branch manatee protection team ...

In Venezuela, while they have many large, mature mango trees, no fruit is borne. There are heavy crops at other stations within a hundred miles or less. What is needed in order to produce fruit? Dr. Carl Campbell, was familiar with the problem. The most common cause is a location where the trees bloom during periods of high humidity and temperature. This leads to anthracnose infection of the flowers and no fruit set. It can be controlled by spraying with fungicides, such as those containing copper, carbamate (e.g. Maneb), or Benylate. It is so humid in southern Florida that Florida growers are wiped out most years unless they spray. There are varieties from Southeast Asia that will do better under such conditions. He mentioned varieties Saigon, Florigon, Pico and Carabao. The good news is that all of these varieties are polyembryonic and consequently most trees will be just like their parents. The bad news is that mango seeds are viable for only a couple of weeks after removed from the seed and ...

In the present study, we found that larvae of T. dichotoma remain motionless for 3-22 min after receiving pupal vibratory signals (freeze response). Considering that pupal signals of T. dichotoma played back near an artificial pupal cell protected the cell from being broken by a burrowing larva [5], the larval freeze response to pupal signals is responsible for rescuing pupae. Since a freeze response to pupal signals of T. dichotoma was observed in three scarabaeid species whose pupae do not produce vibratory signals, the long-lasting freeze response [10] of T. dichotoma larvae to the pupal signals would have existed prior to the evolution of the signals. Overall, our results indicate that pupae of T. dichotoma have exploited pre-existing larval behaviour to protect themselves by emitting deceptive vibratory signals.. Freeze responses are observed in numerous animal taxa such as fish [11], insects [10], birds [12] and mammals [13]. Such responses are thought to be an adaptation for avoiding ...
