The giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca is an endangered species that is protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Numerous factors have led to a decline in giant panda populations in China including habitat loss from human activity, poaching, panda inbreeding and a low reproductive rate. This capstone analyzes the effects of CITES and ESA as policies for the protection of panda populations and their habitat. CITES and ESA provide some protection for panda populations in the United States. However, these policies do not address panda habitat protection in China.

Faunal and stable isotopic data in Sites 646 and 647 provide a ~0.9-Ma paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic record for the Labrador Sea, that is supported by a floral record for the past ~0.3 Ma. At both sites, most glacial stages generally are dominated by polar fauna and flora with low species diversity. Although minor occurrences of subpolar species also were observed in lowermost parts of several glacial stages in Site 646, the faunal classification of Ruddiman and Mclntyre (1976) suggested the presence of polar ecological water masses in the area during most of the glacial periods. In several glacial stages at Site 647, both the faunal and floral data indicate that early periods were marked by subpolar and transitional ecological water masses. The interglacials are characterized by a polar fauna at Site 646 and by polar and transitional faunas and floras at Site 647. However, several interglacial stages in Site 646 include a subpolar flora, in contrast to a planktonic foraminifer fauna similar to that found in the glacial stages. The occurrence of subpolar water masses in several glacial isotopic stages indicates significant northward advection of warmer waters into the Labrador Sea during the early glacial periods, which provided a corridor of oceanic warmth extending from mid- to high latitudes and contributed an additional source of moisture for continental ice-sheet growth. Similar conditions also were documented in the northwest Labrador Sea, Grand Banks, and the North Atlantic.

Estuarine productivity is highly dependent on the freshwater sources of the estuary. In Florida Bay, Taylor Slough was historically the main source of fresh water. Beginning in about 1960, and culminating with the completion of the South Dade Conveyance System in 1984, water management practice began to change the quantity and distribution of flow from Taylor Slough into Northeastern Florida Bay. These practices altered salinity and hydrologic parameters that had measurable negative impacts on vertebrate fauna and their habitats. Here, I review those impacts from published and unpublished literature and anecdotal observations. Almost all vertebrates covered in this review have shown some form of population decline since 1984; most of the studies implicate declines in food resources as the main stressor on their populations. My conclusion is that the diversion of fresh water resulted in an ecological cascade starting with hydrologic stresses on primary then secondary producers culminating in population declines at the top of the food web.
