  • Distribution of Encrusting Foraminifera at Mayaguana, Bahamas: Determining Assemblage Composition and Relationship of Test Size and Density to Food Availability
    Distribution of encrusting foraminifera at Mayaguana, Bahamas: Determining assemblage composition and relationship of test size and density to food availability by Eric Eubanks A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2018 Keywords: Encrusting foraminifera, paleoecology, meiofauna, actualistic paleontology Copyright 2018 by Eric Eubanks Approved by Ronald D. Lewis, Chair, Associate Professor, Department of Geosciences Charles E. Savrda, Professor, Department of Geosciences Anthony G. Moss, Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences Abstract Benthic foraminifera that are cemented by calcium carbonate or are otherwise firmly fixed to hard surfaces are known as encrusting or attached foraminifera. Relatively few actualistic studies focus on the use of encrusting foraminifera as paleoenvironmental indicators compared to the vast literature on free foraminifera. However, their sensitivity to environmental factors such as light and water energy and the fact that they are fixed in place and therefore are likely to remain in the original habitat after death makes encrusting foraminifera valuable in paleoecology. Previous research on San Salvador and Cat Island, Bahamas, has created models for the density and occurrence of these encrusting foraminifera on carbonate platforms. The data in this study, which focuses on nearby Mayaguana, are compared to those of the previous experiments done on San Salvador and Cat Island. Cobbles were collected by both SCUBA and snorkeling at seven different sites that ranged from nearshore reefs to shoals to mid-shelf patch reefs and the platform margin. The sites vary considerably across localities regarding the size, density, and relative proportion of encrusting foraminifera.

Aerodromes in The Bahamas . Importance of Aviation in The Bahamas . Challenges of Pavement Maintenance . The Treasure In Treasure Cay . The Commonwealth of the Bahamas is an island nation located in the Atlantic Ocean. It has 700 islands and cays in the Atlantic Ocean stretching over 13,940 km². Approximately only 40 of the 700 islands are inhabited. The 2 majors cities in The Bahamas are: Nassau, which is in New Providence and the capital city and Freeport, which is in Grand Bahama. On July 10th 1973 The Bahamas gained Independence from Great Britain. The Bahamas has an approximate population 380,000 people. 65% of the population live on the island of New Providence (Nassau). The remaining Bahamian islands are referred to as the “Family Islands”. The Bahamas is located in the Hurricane belt. Our tropical cyclone season extends from June 1st to November 30th. The weather is subtropical climate. A total of 56 Aerodromes in The Bahamas . 28 Government operated . 28 Privately operated . Principle Aerodromes –Typical Aircraft: Code C • Lynden Pindling International (Nassau, Bahamas) • Grand Bahama International (Freeport, Bahamas) . Family Island Aerodromes –Typical Aircraft: Dash-8 • Busiest Family Island aerodrome is Marsh Harbor International (Abaco, Bahamas) . Tourism relations account for 60% of the country’s GDP. Over 65% of our visitors arrive by air. Medical emergencies on the Family Islands typically require air transport to New Providence, Freeport and neighbouring nations. Air Transport is the most efficient means of transport for medical emergencies throughout Family Island.

  • The Birds of Long Island, Bahamas
    Wilson Bull., 104(2), 1992, pp. 220-243 THE BIRDS OF LONG ISLAND, BAHAMAS DONALD W. BUDEN ’ ABSTRACT.-ChIe hundred and ten species of birds are recorded from Long Island and adjacent cays, 54 for the first time. No species or subspecies is endemic. Of the 48 probable breeding indigenous species, 23 are land birds, most of which are widely distributed in all terrestrial habitats. The Yellow Warbler (Dendroicapetechia) shows the strongest habitat preference, being nearly confined to mangroves. Nests, eggs, and young are reported for 3 1 species, 19 of them for the first time on Long Island. The White-winged Dove (Zenaidu asiatica) and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) are new additions to the list of breeding land birds. The Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundluchii)was the most frequently encountered bird during summer 1990, followed closely by the Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris).Received I6 May 1991, accepted5 Nov. 1991. The avifauna of Long Island has never been reviewed systematically, the literature consisting mainly of brief and sparsely annotated noncu- mulative lists of species. In nearly all cases, these earlier reports have been based on visits of only one to several days duration covering a very limited area, mainly Clarence Town and vicinity. The present report brings together all available information on the distribution of the birds of Long Island and is based in large measure on my observations through- out the island during 28 April-l 3 May and 6 July-l 2 August 1990 together with unpublished records contributed by other observers. STUDY AREA Long Island is located in the central part of the Bahama archipelago and is the south- easternmost island of any appreciable size on the Great Bahama Bank (Figs.

Some of their field produce and conchs and fish they exported to Nassau, buying in exchange goods such as flour, rice, detergent, and clothes. The other produce they kept, to use as seed for the next planting, to feed to livestock, and to eat. Over the fire fed with dry wood they roasted corn and baked bread and boiled crabs. To preserve fish and meat they "corned" it: sliced the flesh and by Tracey Thompson salted it thoroughly, then hung it in the sun to dry.

  • Prey Remains of Barn Owls in the Southern Bahama Islands
    PREY REMAINS OF BARN OWLS IN THE SOUTHERN BAHAMA ISLANDS DONALD W. BUDEN Numerous reports on the feeding habits of the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) in the continental United States indicate that mammals, particularly rodents, are the main prey of this species and that other food items at most form a small part of its diet. Wallace (1948), for example, indicated that mammals accounted for 98.93 percent and birds 1.07 percent of the total prey items in 2,200 pellets from East Lansing, Michigan. Stupka (in Wallace, op. cit.) found that birds accounted for 1 to 2 percent of the food items at three different stations in Ohio. Baumgartner and Baumgartner (1944) found many rodent remains but no bird remains among 880 food items in pellets and skeletal debris from a site in Oklahoma. Bailey and Neidrach (1965 :410) reported that the food items over a four-year period at one nesting site in Morgan County, Colorado, consisted of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spp.) and several species of mice, with no bird remains in evidence. Many other similar reports could be cited. In his report on prey species utilized by the Barn Owl on Grand Cayman in the West Indies, Johnston (1974) stated that these owls consumed a markedly higher percentage of avian prey than did their continental counter- parts. He found (op. cit. ; pers. comm.) that bird remains constituted approxi- mately 40 percent of all identified bones and other food remains taken from three different sites on Grand Cayman. Most of the non-avian bones were of black rats (Ruttus rattus) and house mice (Mus musculus).
