In Pensacola, Florida, there are many conservative residents who object to the presence of LGBTQ+ members in the community despite the long, rich history of relative LGBTQ+ tolerance. Due to the outward display of intolerant behavior, many LGBTQ+ people question their ability to safely express their sexual orientation and gender identity.

Show moreIn Pensacola, Florida, there are many conservative residents who object to the presence of LGBTQ+ members in the community despite the long, rich history of relative LGBTQ+ tolerance. Due to the outward display of intolerant behavior, many LGBTQ+ people question their ability to safely express their sexual orientation and gender identity. This paper explores the primary data on main stressors that affect the perception of safety among the LGBTQ+ community in the Pensacola area as well as the mental health consequences linked with the stress of feeling unsafe. Data was gathered through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. I hypothesize that the LGBTQ+ community in Pensacola is more likely to have poor mental health and this inequity is linked to discrimination and feeling unsafe.

- Author
- Dvorscak, Christopher Kevin
- Abstract/Description
-
In March of 2013, faculty and students from the University of West Florida discovered an unknown shipwreck in the Blackwater River. After multiple seasons of investigation and intensive historical research, the shipwreck is determined to be the sidewheel steamer Columbia, of Pensacola. It was built in 1900 by the W. B. Wright Company, towed lumber, and functioned as an excursion vessel. A fire of unknown origin caused it to burn to the waterline and sink on March 13, 1911. This project...

- Characterizing elasmobranchs in Pensacola Bay system using environmental DNA metabarcoding.
- Author
- Hebert, Melissa M.
- Abstract/Description

Estuaries are often used as foraging habitats and nursery grounds by many elasmobranch species due to the protection as well as an abundance of nutrients and available prey that estuaries provide. However, identifying essential habitats for elasmobranchs has been a challenge due to frequent migrations of elasmobranchs into estuaries and coastal waters. Therefore, essential habitats for many elasmobranchs have not been identified. Traditional survey methods make it difficult to obtain accurate...
Show moreEstuaries are often used as foraging habitats and nursery grounds by many elasmobranch species due to the protection as well as an abundance of nutrients and available prey that estuaries provide. However, identifying essential habitats for elasmobranchs has been a challenge due to frequent migrations of elasmobranchs into estuaries and coastal waters. Therefore, essential habitats for many elasmobranchs have not been identified. Traditional survey methods make it difficult to obtain accurate results because elasmobranchs are highly mobile; thus the resolution lies with using molecular tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. Environmental DNA metabarcoding refers to the identification of multiple species from a single environmental sample using a generalist molecular marker. This molecular tool has shown to represent the biodiversity present in a collected sample and has been more efficient than traditional in situ sampling. Environmental DNA metabarcoding revealed 266 total fish detections from 57 different species with only three elasmobranch species (Rostoraja eglanteria, Hypanus sabinus, Rhinoptera bonasus) being detected. Elasmobranch DNA was primarily detected in spring, with only one detection in both winter and summer and no detections in fall. These results imply that elasmobranchs may not be utilizing the Pensacola Bay System often or they were not present during time of sampling.

Probate records, documents including wills and estate inventories and auctions, are excellent tools for historical archaeologists who want to better understand the material possessions of past peoples. Probate and archaeological data are particularly amenable to comparison because they both quantify material culture.

Show moreProbate records, documents including wills and estate inventories and auctions, are excellent tools for historical archaeologists who want to better understand the material possessions of past peoples. Probate and archaeological data are particularly amenable to comparison because they both quantify material culture. This thesis compares a sample of 76 16th-century Spanish probate records (both inventories and auctions) compiled in Spanish America to the archaeological assemblages of the 1559-1561 Luna Settlement site and Emanuel Point I (EPI) Shipwreck in Pensacola, Florida excavated by the University of West Florida. The probate records of a variety of Spanish individuals were chosen to reflect the types of people that would have inhabited the site including soldiers, sailors, carpenters, blacksmiths, doctors, artisans, women, etc. This work involves the transcription and translation of historical Spanish documents and the creation of a Probate Inventory Database and an artifact database. The primary goal is to demonstrate the utility of synthesizing material culture data from both the documentary and archaeological records as well as provide an analysis of the similarities and differences between these data sources using the Luna Site and EPI as case studies. An emphasis is made on the idea of "personal property" in 16th-century Spanish America. This project is a model for synthesizing quantitative data from documentary and archaeological sources.

Show morePopulations from two historic cemeteries in Pensacola, Florida were researched, analyzed, and compared through the use of archival and site survey records in order to understand connections between causes of death, ages at death, and socioeconomic status (SES). A total of 1,267 individuals were analyzed within this research (404 from AME Zion and 863 from the Escambia County Poor Farm) to answer 1) how the socioeconomic status (SES) of a selection of a population connects to their eventual cause of death and age at death; and 2), how SES is or is not reflected in the burial practices evident through extant surface material at cemetery site(s). The goal of this research was to better understand how the life experiences of people in the past affected their representations in death. Initial analysis of the overall populations (AME Zion n=404; Poor Farm n=863) showed higher rates of infant deaths and males at the Poor Farm than was seen in the AME Zion Pre1970 population sample of all ages. For these full samples, susceptibility to the most frequent causes of death categories (Illness and Disease) were the same at each site. With these similar levels however, individuals at neither site were living substantially longer than the other even when individuals at the Poor Farm had a significantly average SES. Analysis of the cause of death and age at death analysis samples (AME Zion n=240; Poor Farm n=419) as well as analysis of the SES subsamples (AME Zion n=133; Poor Farm n=408) highlighted sex and SES differences between the sites where the Poor Farm had a higher frequency of males and higher wages, on average. Conclusions found no connection between SES and the existence or absence of extant surface materials at AME Zion or the Poor Farm but brought to light the possibility of other cultural factors such as church affiliations and burial associations.

Show moreWhen interpreted alongside written documentary evidence, cartography informs a view of how colonists directed expansion across the landscape. The qualities and content of maps illuminate significant details about their culture of origin; the attributes captured and omitted in cartography can shed light on the content considered relevant at the time of a map creation. For this research, a comparison between Spanish and British colonial maps from mid-18th-century Pensacola reveals a varied assemblage of attributes, accuracy, detail, and scale that portray modest development for the First Spanish and rapid, organized expansion in the subsequent British period. Using historic maps, two divergent modes, and experiences of colonization can be traced, revealing how environment, socioeconomics, and relations with native peoples influenced the settlement of Pensacola's frontier.

Anthropogenic influence from urbanization affects the health of estuaries all over the world. Three urbanized bayous in the Pensacola Bay System (Bayou Texar, Bayou Chico, and Bayou Grande) are estuarine systems affected by their surrounding watersheds. Land use in Bayou Texar's watershed is mainly residential properties. Bayou Chico's lower watershed is mainly industrial, while the upper watershed is residential.

Show moreAnthropogenic influence from urbanization affects the health of estuaries all over the world. Three urbanized bayous in the Pensacola Bay System (Bayou Texar, Bayou Chico, and Bayou Grande) are estuarine systems affected by their surrounding watersheds. Land use in Bayou Texar's watershed is mainly residential properties. Bayou Chico's lower watershed is mainly industrial, while the upper watershed is residential. In Bayou Grande, one shoreline is home to the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, and the other shoreline is residential. This study examined spatial and temporal variability of water quality in these systems. Comparison of bimonthly samples with historical data provided a perspective of how water quality has changed and responded to urbanization in these systems. High nutrients and chlorophyll were observed in Bayou Chico and Bayou Texar. Seasonal variation in nutrients was smaller than expected. Mixing curves of nutrients showed non-conservative mixing reflecting spatially distributed sources and sinks. DIN to DIP ratios showed that phosphorus was the limiting nutrient in Bayous Chico and Texar, whereas in Bayou Grande there was a seasonal change in nutrient limitation from nitrogen to phosphorus. Warm temperatures, and high light availability, make these urban bayous susceptible to eutrophication.

Show moreMicrobial communities are greatly influenced by natural environmental factors as well as disturbance and recovery due to anthropogenic effects and events. Of equal interest is their resiliency and recovery from those disturbances. For the purpose of this study, temporal was defined in three ways: seasonal variation, daily diel variation, and disturbance event effects and response. For the past three years, we maintained a bi-weekly sampling of water from the Pensacola Beach Pier to address long term seasonal variability in biomass, productivity community structure, and physico-chemical parameters. Diel variation was measured using periods of increased sampling frequency to every six hours over a fifty-hour timespan. These diel samples were conducted quarterly in one year to compare seasonal variation. Temperature was the largest driving force in both long term and short-term variability for Pensacola Beach for the three years studied. Response to Hurricane Nate and Hurricane Michael was evaluated in years 2 and 3. Sampling was increased to once daily before, during, and after each storm either made landfall or passed by Pensacola Beach. Data from these storm events was compared to the previously defined typical values for that time of year using the time series to determine the disturbance effect and recovery period specific to the microbial ecology due to these storms. Data from both storms showed an immediate response in microbial communities with an equally rapid recovery period.
