Florida State University researchers are part of an international team whose work reveals that North and South American mammals interacted before the Panamanian land bridge formed about 3 million years ago.

Professor of Geology and Environmental Science Yang Wang and geology doctoral student Chance Hannold are coauthors of a new study that challenges the long-held belief that North and South American mammals did not mix until the continents joined through an isthmus, a narrow strip that connects two larger land masses. Instead, the researchers found evidence of some North American animals clustering in present-day southern Mexico before opportunities arose to move further south beginning about 7 million years ago.

This research was published Thursday in the journal Science.

“Fossils, as well as ancient sediments and soils, provide valuable archives of past life and environmental conditions,” said Wang, who is also a faculty affiliate of the National Science Foundation-funded, FSU-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. “By studying these natural archives, we can better understand how mammalian communities responded to past environmental changes and the processes that gave rise to present-day biodiversity patterns. This knowledge, in turn, can help us better anticipate the potential impacts of future environmental perturbations on the biosphere.”

North and South America were once isolated continents home to distinct groups of animals. Until recently, scientists believed those animals moved north and south only after the Isthmus of Panama formed about 3 million years ago. Biologists refer to this as the Great American Biotic Interchange, or GABI.

However, the new research suggests many North American mammals migrated to present-day southern Mexico and remained there in a sort of geographical holding pen until the continents moved just close enough for smaller species, including racoon-like coatis, ringtails and rodents, to travel farther south, likely by island hopping through the Caribbean or rafting on vegetation.

This suggests that intercontinental species migration began at least 4 million years before GABI. For context: At the beginning of that 4-million-year gap, early human ancestors had just genetically separated from chimpanzees, and by the end of it, the Stone Age had begun.

For this research, Wang and Hannold, a fifth-year doctoral student, conducted fieldwork in Mexico in from 2022 to 2024, collecting samples of ancient soil and fossilized tooth enamel.

“Earth’s natural processes, such as volcanism, the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, and the uplift of the Himalayas, have shaped the environments and climates in which animals, including humans, live,” Wang said. “We took our field samples back to the lab at FSU to conduct stable isotope analyses, which help identify when, where and in what conditions these animals lived, providing the environmental context for this study’s collection of fossils.”

Stable isotope analyses found evidence that the early arrival of North American mammals in Mexico was driven by the development of savanna grasslands in the region. The data revealed that C4 grasses — warm-season plants that include corn, sugarcane, switchgrass and Bermuda grass — were present in the area around 10 million years ago and became a dominant component of early horses’ diets by 5 million years ago.

“Yang’s new research is truly interdisciplinary, as it combines geological and biological evidence to investigate how geological processes created one of the great natural ecological mixing experiments of the Cenozoic Era,” said Mike Stukel, chair of the FSU Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science. “It is also fascinating to consider how these results might shed light on the current mixing experiment occurring as humans intentionally and unintentionally spread different species across the planet.”

Wang and Hannold’s work was supported by the National Science Foundation through a portion of more than $500,000 in funding for the project. The broader study was led by principal investigator Jack Tseng, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and coauthored by researchers from Stanford University, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, as well as the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, both located in central Mexico.

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University’s Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response Center have identified how hurricane flooding can impact health long after a storm.

In research published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, the researchers identified the factors that are most likely to create hazardous respiratory conditions inside homes after flooding.

Roof age, prevalence of indoor mold spores and maximum flood depth led to the most new respiratory symptoms among people in the homes the researchers studied. Airflow rates in bathroom exhaust fans, how often people opened their window blinds and the airtightness of the building were also important factors.

“We pay a lot of attention to direct impacts immediately after storms, but hazardous conditions can linger after floodwaters recede,” said Assistant Professor Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf, a study co-author. “Although the respiratory health impacts of flooding are indirect and may emerge gradually, timely intervention offers the best chance for supporting health. We wanted to pinpoint which factors were most harmful, because that tells us where intervention can do the most good.”

Understanding post-flooding impact

The researchers examined residential buildings that were damaged after Hurricane Ida, which made landfall near New Orleans in 2021 before moving through the Northeast US, and Hurricane Ian, which passed through South Florida in 2022. They separated their data geographically into three groups: Louisiana, Northeast US and Central and Southern Florida.

Working with public health researchers, they surveyed people whose homes had been impacted by the two hurricanes. Because flood-related mold exposures and respiratory health effects can persist after major storms, researchers conducted health surveys and mold sampling five to seven months after the hurricanes impacted the study area.

The team combined survey results with home inspections, lab analyses of indoor and outdoor mold spores and flood modeling to develop a comprehensive building-scale database for analyzing the connection between post-hurricane environmental factors and respiratory health. The database contained information for each building with a wide range of potential factors that affect respiratory health, including building properties, human indoor activities, indoor and outdoor mold and flood characteristics.

Why it matters

Although researchers have long known that mold leads to respiratory problems, this study presented a systematic examination of how conditions after flooding can exacerbate the growth of hazardous mold using a more detailed database than previous research.

 “Knowing the factors that are most likely to affect health gives us a guide for how to intervene before health problems begin,” said Professor Yassir AbdelRazig, a study co-author. “We know that resources for investment — for property owners and for outside agencies — are limited. This study gives a framework for what interventions can have the greatest impact.”

The research could help homeowners, health officials, insurance companies and emergency managers understand where health risks are greatest and develop strategies to minimize issues.

Future directions

Although the researchers examined conditions after hurricanes, the same problems can manifest after storms that don’t make headlines. Nuisance flooding, which doesn’t pose a threat to life or cause major property damage, can still lead to water intrusion at homes and prime conditions for mold growth.

Future research could add to the buildings surveyed, offering more robust analyses of the factors that affect respiratory health. A project using a control building without residents could examine the gradual effects of water intrusion over time and give researchers an understanding of how mold develops and affects indoor air quality, Ahmadisharaf said.

“Engineering has a major role to play in improving human health,” he said. “The indoor environments where we spend many hours of our lives are huge drivers of health. This research is about understanding that environment to help improve it.”

Doctoral alumna Maryam Pakdehi and doctoral student Ahmed Suliman were the lead author and co-author on this research, respectively. This study was supported by the National Science Foundation, the Danfoss Faculty and Graduate Student Fellows program, and an Early-Career Research Fellowship from the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

William Perez

Miami native and first-generation graduate student William Perez will earn a doctorate in religion from the Department of Religion in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Perez, the son of Cuban and Nicaraguan immigrants, moved to Tallahassee in 2021 with his wife and four daughters to pursue the American religious history track. Now a father of five, he values the intellectual community he found at FSU and the ability to pursue rigorous doctoral research while spending meaningful time with his family.

Perez chose to attend Florida State because of the national reputation of its religion program. At FSU, he presented at international academic conferences, published research on religion and emotion and received several awards, including the department’s Porterfield Research Prize.

“Not only does FSU boast one of the oldest religion departments at a public university in the United States, but its religion faculty also remains on the cutting-edge of research and publication in the field,” Perez said. “I wanted the opportunity to learn from and work with them, and it has paid off.”

After graduation, Perez plans to continue teaching and conducting research in Tallahassee. He will serve as an adjunct professor in FSU’s Department of Religion and as a religious educator with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ seminary and institute program.

He also hopes to turn his dissertation on religion and emotion into a book, elevate the Latino community in religious studies and bring the interdisciplinary approaches he learned at FSU into wider academic conversations.

“Walking in this ceremony is meaningful to me because it represents not only my accomplishment, but a huge win for the family and community that has cheered me on from the very beginning,” Perez said. “It is the culmination of years of hard work and also the beginning of a new and exciting chapter.”

Jack Wemm

A Tallahassee local and lifelong Seminole, Jack Wemm will graduate magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management from the Anne Spencer Daves College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences. He chose FSU for its nationally recognized program and the opportunity to attend his childhood dream school.

During his three years at FSU, Wemm combined academic excellence with leadership and service across the university community.

“I believe in the saying, ‘The people make the place,’ and there is no place like FSU,” Wemm said. “The feeling of being a Seminole and a part of the Florida State community is special.”

Wemm’s time at FSU was defined by service. As vice president of membership for Seminole Student Boosters, he helped lead the student-run organization raising money for FSU Athletics and student-athletes.

He also interned with University Relations, assisting with commencement ceremonies and football game operations and served as a team manager for the FSU men’s and women’s golf teams.

“Graduating in this ceremony means a lot to me because of the hard work and perseverance of not only myself, but also those who have supported me,” Wemm said. “When I walk across the stage, I hope my parents, my professors and the friends I have made along the way know that I could not have gotten this far without them.”

Wemm also studied sport management in London and spent six weeks in Valencia, Spain, through FSU International Programs. The experience broadened his understanding of the global sports industry.

After completing his bachelor’s degree, Wemm will intern in athletics law with FSU’s Office of the General Counsel this summer. He will then remain at Florida State to finish his master’s degree in sport management through the combined pathway program before pursuing law school, where he aims to build a career as a sports lawyer helping shape the future of athletics.

Sydney Goldberg

Tampa native Sydney Goldberg will graduate with a Master of Applied American Politics and Policy (MAAPP) from the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy. A double Seminole, she completed her bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in psychology in three years before entering the graduate program.

Goldberg was drawn to FSU for its location in Florida’s capital and the access it provided to state government. The MAAPP program allowed her to complement her studies with work on political campaigns and experience in state agencies, the legislature and advocacy.

“Walking in commencement marks the end of my academic career at FSU,” Goldberg said. “I tend to move quickly from one goal to the next, so commencement gives me a chance to stop, recognize everything I have accomplished and celebrate with the family and mentors who supported me.”

During her time at FSU, Goldberg maintained a strong campus presence, serving as vice president of the MAAPP Executive Board and holding leadership roles within Garnet and Gold Key, the Women’s Leadership Network, the Student Conduct Board and the Jewish Student Union.

Her proudest accomplishments reflect a commitment to public service. She worked on two successful state and congressional campaigns and participated in two Florida legislative sessions, including work for Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez. She also was selected for the Florida Gubernatorial Fellows Program and spent a year with the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

Looking ahead, Goldberg plans to build a career in political strategy, government affairs and advocacy, using her broad perspective across state leadership to drive results.

“Florida is my home, and I want to continue making a positive impact on the state that has given me so many opportunities,” Goldberg said. “I have been fortunate to have mentors who guided and advocated for me, and I hope to provide that same support to future students and young professionals entering the field.”

Pranathi Brungi

Pranathi Brungi will earn a doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. A native of South India, she was drawn to FSU by the college’s partnership with Florida A&M University and its nationally recognized research in power electronics.

Under the mentorship of Professor Petru Andrei, Brungi conducted interdisciplinary research in semiconductor devices, magnetics and machine learning. She developed advanced modeling techniques designed to improve electronic device performance and accelerate the design process.

Brungi’s graduate experience was defined by rapid achievement, leadership and service. She earned both her master’s degree and doctorate in three and a half years, received the Danfoss Research Scholarship and represented FSU during a weather balloon launch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

She also presented at three Electrochemical Society conferences, served as a session chair and student ambassador, contributed to several research publications and chaired the Excellence in Teaching Award Committee for Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society.

“Walking at commencement represents far more than completing a degree,” Brungi said. “Earning a doctorate has been a personal dream and a journey filled with challenges, growth and perseverance. What makes this moment especially meaningful is seeing my parents and my brother proud of what I have accomplished.”

After graduation, Brungi will begin her career as a device engineer at onsemi, where she plans to advance AI-driven semiconductor design and streamline manufacturing. She also hopes to strengthen partnerships between universities and industry so that promising research can move into practical use.

During their one-year term, FMA presidents appoint two members to the FMA Board of Governors. Littles has chosen Jeremy Slaga, FSU’s vice president and chief clinical operations officer overseeing FSU Health, and Andrea Friall, M.D., who practices obstetrics and gynecology and is the chief medical officer of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare in Tallahassee.

“Anyone who has worked with Dr. Littles knows that the superlatives are well-deserved,” said FMA Chief Executive Officer Chris Clark. “She’s a remarkable person and a consistently remarkable physician leader. The FMA has always valued having close relationships with Florida’s medical schools. So, the fact that Dr. Littles is the first medical school dean to serve as FMA President in our organization’s 151-year history is especially meaningful.”

Before becoming president, Littles served as FMA president-elect, vice president and secretary. She has been a member of FMA since she was a medical student.

Littles is a leader in organized medicine at both the state and national levels. She continues to advocate for access to quality healthcare, inspiring doctors and other clinicians to practice in areas where people are most in need, particularly in rural areas and in the areas of primary care and preventive medicine.

Littles is a former president of the Florida Academy of Family Physicians (FAFP) and was Florida Family Physician of the Year in 1993. She is also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, where she was named a Fellow in 1998; the American Medical Association; and the Florida Alliance for Health Professions Diversity. In 2016-17 Littles served as chair of the Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare Board of Directors.

Littles was named one of the 25 Women You Need to Know in Tallahassee in 2010 and in 2014 was identified by Black Health Magazine as one of the country’s Top 15 Most Influential African American Medical Educators. She also received the 2014 Outstanding Physician of the Year Award from Capital Medical Society (CMS). In 2019, she was honored with the American Medical Women’s Association’s Elizabeth Blackwell Award. She also received the Director’s Award for Outstanding Faculty from AMWA.

A longtime patient advocate, Littles has always recognized the importance of being a part of and giving back to the community. She has an interest in promoting student and physician wellness and addressing ways to prevent burnout. She serves on the Wellness Committees of the CMS and FAFP and chaired the FMA’s Wellness Committee in 2019-20. She also served as vice chair of Florida’s Physicians Workforce Advisory Council (chaired by Florida’s surgeon general) for eight years and is a contributing author of the textbook Contemporary Challenges in Medical Education, published in 2019.

She served previously as chair of the American Medical Association’s Academic Physicians Section and as delegate to the AMA from the Academic Physicians Section. She is also the vice chair of the Council of Florida Medical School Deans.
