Erica Castaneda
No full textErica Castaneda is majoring in biomedical sciences with a minor in psychology. Until recently, Erica was the Director of Volunteer Affairs for the Honors Congress at UCF. Her passion to help animals, inspires her to become involved in conservation efforts and pursue veterinary school. This past summer, she interned at Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge where she helped rehabilitate Central Florida’s wildlife and she is currently working as a kennel technician at University Animal Hospital. She will participate in a study abroad trip to South Africa’s Nkosinathi Community Center in order to assist conservation efforts on the Nambiti Game Reserve.
Erica works with the Science and Planning in Conservation Ecology (SPICE), conducting independent research since September 2016. Her research investigates the effect of traffic noise on Cuban Tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) tadpole feeding behavior. After veterinary school, Erica intends to continue her involvement in conservation efforts through research and volunteer work.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/ramp_gallery/1004/thumbnail.jp
Race, income, and benefits from national parks
No full textNational Parks have become an integral part of global life in both developed and developing countries during the last century. Today, there are more than 1,200 national parks and nature preserves around the world. The U.S. federal government spends more than \$3 billion annually to maintain and preserve parks for public use. The national parks were originally intended to promote recreational activities for socio-economically disadvantaged communities by allowing them access at little or no cost. However, recently there has been discussion as to whether or not this is still the case. The existing literature has a gap regarding how demand for national parks varies by race, and how that variation is driven by differences in income, preferences, and access to transportation. To address this gap, I use the travel cost method to evaluate park user’s willingness-to-pay to visit the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in Chesterton, IN. Specifically, we look at how park user’s race/ethnicity and income affect their willingness-to-pay to visit the site, and how that variation, along with access to transportation, influences visit frequency. In the study, the data shows that park resources are not being used equally by different groups of the population. Having access to transportation is an important mechanism behind a park user’s decision to visit the site, so the groups with less access to transportation will visit the site less frequently. Results show that African-Americans are less likely to visit the site, and respondent’s income did not influence whether or not they ever visited the site. The seasonal willingness to pay was \$23.91 for a 1/3 opportunity cost and \$23.01 for a 3/4 opportunity cost.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Products of their Past? Cleavages and Intra-Party Dissent Over European Integration. IHS Political Science Series Paper No. 118. February 2009
No full textWhat explains contemporary intra-party dissent on EU issues? This article develops a cleavage theory model of internal party dissent over European integration. Drawing on Lipset and Rokkan’s classic model of political cleavages and on its applications to party positioning on European integration, I argue that if one seeks to understand when, where, and to what extent internal divisions manifest themselves, one must look to the particular historical vulnerabilities of political parties. Using expert survey data, I demonstrate that the ease with which political parties are able to assimilate the issue of European integration is influenced by the legacy of past political tensions and the extent to which the economic and political aspects of the EU reactivate pre-existing cleavages
