In this paper we conduct several three-dimensional radiative hydrodynamic simulations to explore the effect of the inclusion of gas giant planets in gravitationally unstable protoplanetary disks. We compare several simulations carried out with the CHYMERA code including: a baseline simulation without a planet, and three simulations including planets of various masses 0.3, 1 and 3 Jupiter masses. The planets are inserted into the baseline simulation after the gravitational instabilities (GIs) have grown to non-linear amplitude. The planets are inserted at the same radius, which coincides with the co-rotation radius of the dominant global mode in the baseline simulation. We examine the effect that the GIs have on migration rates as well as the potential of halting inward migration. We also examine the effect the insertion of the planet has on the global torques caused by the GIs. Furthermore, we explore the relationship between planet mass and migration rates and effect on GIs.
