  • Birds of a Feather: the Coconut Grove Audubon Society, 1915-1917
    Birds of a Feather: The Coconut Grove Audubon Society, 1915-1917 By Emily Perry Dieterich Three Things to Remember A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all Heaven in a rage. A skylark wounded on the wing Doth make a cherub cease to sing. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men. William Blake Organized bird protection in the United States began with the formation of the American Ornithological Union (AOU) in 1883. Addressing this specific concern, member William Brewster, curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, moved to form a "Committee for the Protection of North American Birds" at the Union's annual meeting in 1884 (Robin Doughty, Feather Fashions and Bird Preservations:157-58). The original Audubon Society was born several years later, the brainchild of the noted naturalist and outdoorsman, George Bird Grinnell, editor of FieldandStream, the leading sportsmen's magazine of the time. Although a big game hunter himself, Grinnell was appalled by the slaughter of both game and non-game birds. "Gunners shot them for sport," he wrote, "small boys killed them for fun, and egg collectors robbed their nests." (Carl Buchheister and Frank Graham, "From the Swamps and Baclc" 7). While researching this story, Emily Perry Dieterich was director of environ- mental education for the Tropical Audubon Society. Currently she is the research historian for Metro-Dade Department of Historical Preservation. 6 TEQUESTA In February 1886 Grinnell suggested in a front page editorial of his magazine that "concerned men and women create an organi- zation for the protection of wild birds and their eggs, its administration to be undertaken by the magazine's staff." Grinnell had grown up near the home of Audubon and even attended a school for young boys conducted by Lucy Audubon.

  • Chapter 9: Water Issues, 1970 to 1992: the Rise of Environmentalism and the Path to the Restudy of the C&SF Project
    Chapter 9: Water Issues, 1970 to 1992: The Rise of Environmentalism and the Path to the Restudy of the C&SF Project Several Florida environmental controversies that unfolded in the 1960s and 1970s profoundly affected the climate in which Everglades National Park operated. Some of these struggles played out in nearby areas like the Big Cypress Swamp, while others took place some distance away in North Florida. The cumulative effect of these con- troversies was to raise environmental awareness in the state and add substantially to the number of people who cared about and advocated for Everglades National Park. This interest in the environment was part of a larger national trend that politicians were beginning to respond to. Some of this broader background will be briefly consid- ered before the narrative returns to Everglades National Park’s water issues. Historians agree that environmentalism became a force to be reckoned with in the United States in the 1960s. The post-World-War-II economic boom brought with it a host of unforeseen consequences, like air and water pollution and the widespread conversion of open space to factories, roads, and residential subdivisions. Concern over the degradation of the environment moved from scientific and academic circles to the general public in the 1960s. Many credit Rachel Carson’s 1962 best-seller Silent Spring with introducing the concept of environmentalism to a broad public. Carson’s book focused on the devastating effects on bird reproduction of the use of persistent pesticides like DDT (dicholoro-diphenyl-trichloroethane), but it had a broader mes- sage. In forceful and eloquent prose, Carson called for a rethinking of the whole con- cept of human control of nature.

  • Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 131(2):214–224. 2006. Mango Genetic Diversity Analysis and Pedigree Inferences for Florida Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers R.J. Schnell1, J.S. Brown, C.T. Olano, and A.W. Meerow National Germplasm Repository, USDA, ARS, SHRS, 13601 Old Cutler Road, Miami, FL 33158 R.J. Campbell Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, FL 33156 D.N. Kuhn Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Mangifera indica, cultivar identifi cation, SSR markers, mango breeding, parentage analysis ABSTRACT. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm can be classifi ed by origin with the primary groups being cultivars selected from the centers of diversity for the species, India and Southeast Asia, and those selected in Florida and other tropical and subtropical locations. Accessions have also been classifi ed by horticultural type: cultivars that produce monoembryonic seed vs. cultivars that produce polyembryonic seed. In this study we used 25 microsatellite loci to estimate genetic diversity among 203 unique mangos (M. indica), two M. griffi thii Hook. f., and three M. odorata Griff. accessions maintained at the National Germplasm Repository and by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Fla. The 25 microsatellite loci had an average of 6.96 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.552 for the M. indica population. The total propagation error in the collection (i.e., plants that had been incorrectly labeled or grafted) was estimated to be 6.13%. When compared by origin, the Florida cultivars were more closely related to Indian than to Southeast Asian cultivars.
