Abstract/Description
-
The main goal of this study is to analyze the effects of the Confederate raid of 1862 on the lumber industry of West Florida. This study established a baseline for the lumber industry, which showed a robust and successful industry prior to the raid. After the Confederate raid, the industry recovered, but never regained the prominence it possessed in 1860. This study also examined the raid's impact on sawmills through terrestrial and maritime archaeological investigations at the Criglar,...
Show moreThe main goal of this study is to analyze the effects of the Confederate raid of 1862 on the lumber industry of West Florida. This study established a baseline for the lumber industry, which showed a robust and successful industry prior to the raid. After the Confederate raid, the industry recovered, but never regained the prominence it possessed in 1860. This study also examined the raid's impact on sawmills through terrestrial and maritime archaeological investigations at the Criglar, Batchelder, and Pooley Company sawmill; Pearce and Son Mill; and Hyer planing mill. A shovel test survey at the Hyer planing mill revealed an associated feature that displayed evidence of the Confederate raid. The two other sites did not produce any definitive archaeological evidence of the sawmills. Analysis of the three sawmill landscapes showed that the raid accelerated the industrial processes and adaptations at the sites.

Abstract/Description

The Whitespotted bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium plagiosum is a species of longtail carpet shark native to the Indo-Pacific region known as the Coral Triangle. Temperatures across much of the geographic range of the Whitespotted bamboo shark are rising, and it is not immediately clear if the species has the physiological capacity to withstand the impending rise in sea surface temperatures expected by the end of the century. Although listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as...
Show moreThe Whitespotted bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium plagiosum is a species of longtail carpet shark native to the Indo-Pacific region known as the Coral Triangle. Temperatures across much of the geographic range of the Whitespotted bamboo shark are rising, and it is not immediately clear if the species has the physiological capacity to withstand the impending rise in sea surface temperatures expected by the end of the century. Although listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as Near Threatened in 2006, their current conservation status is unknown. Indeed, thermal requirements of elasmobranch fishes in general are grossly understudied with empirical data available for only five of the more than 1200 extant elasmobranch species. The purpose of this study was to quantify thermal niche requirements of the Whitespotted bamboo shark by estimating key thermal metrics including intrinsic tolerance, upper and lower critical temperatures, thermal acclimation range, and upper and lower temperature acclimation responses. The results are interpreted and discussed in relation to current and potential future thermal conditions across the shark's traditional geographic range. The bamboo shark data presented here are the first to describe thermal requirements in a selachian elasmobranch.
