  • Between Technophobia and Futuristic Dreams. Visions of the Possible Technological Development in Black Mirror and Westworld Series
    Agnieszka Kiejziewicz Between technophobia and futuristic dreams. Visions of the possible technological development in Black Mirror and Westworld series Jagiellonian University Introduction The dualism in perceiving the technology on the Western ground, not only as a blessing connected with the rapid development of the civilization but also as a possible reason for the future fall of the humanity, can be dated back to the literary works such as Frankenstein (1818) by Marry Shelley, dystopian Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)1 or Fritz Lang’s filmMetropolis (1927). However, it was no sooner than in the late 1950s when the discourse about the influence of technology on the society appeared in numerous forms of art. The writers such as William Burroughs (1914–1997)2, Phillip K. Dick (1928–1982)3 or the techno-prophet Marshall McLuhan (1918–1980)4 observed that to extend their perception, sensations and abilities, people cling to technology represented by various devices, what brings the humanity closer to the apocalypse the overused technology is to cause. The inspiration of the findings provided by the theorists in 1 See: Bloom, Harold, ed. Aldous Huxley. New York: Bloom’s Literary Criticism, 2010. 2 See: Hibbard, Allen. Conversations with William S.

    ABSTRACT Hill, Hilary Nan. Phylogenetic Utility of Two New Nuclear Genes, Opsin and CAD, within the stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae) (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). A need for multiple phylogenetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships is increasingly apparent within both the Therevidae and insect systematics as a whole, especially markers that can accommodate the immense species diversity that arose during the Mesozoic (~65-250mya). Phylogenetic trees are often best reconstructed using datasets from distinct sources and from character sets that have been under different selective pressures. Many recent insect systematics studies use various combinations of markers from multiple genomes, morphology, and biogeography. Nuclear genes, particularly protein-encoding genes that are highly conserved and low copy-number, are increasingly attractive as phylogenetic markers, and there is a recent concerted effort to find and increase access to new nuclear genes. Chapter one of this study investigates the phylogenetic utility of opsin, a new multiple copy nuclear protein- encoding gene in the dipteran family Therevidae. The present analyses of nucleotide sequence data of opsin reconstructed a therevid phylogeny that is partially concordant with previous classifications which demonstrates that opsin may have some limited utility as a phylogenetic marker within the Therevidae and closely related Diptera, but also shows that opsin may be better used in combination with other molecular markers or morphological data sets. Phylogenetic analyses of opsin at multiple levels within insects supports these results, but also reveals the significant obstacles in technical manipulation of the gene and in the interpretaion of ortholog/paralog relationships. In the second chapter two new nuclear, protein-encoding genes, opsin and CAD, in combination with EF-1α and 28S rDNA, are applied to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of Therevidae for which previous molecular evidence has been insufficient.

  • The Mcguire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity
    Supplemental Information All specimens used within this study are housed in: the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity (MGCL) at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, USA (FLMNH); the University of Maryland, College Park, USA (UMD); the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, France (MNHN); and the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra, Australia (ANIC). Methods DNA extraction protocol of dried museum specimens (detailed instructions) Prior to tissue sampling, dried (pinned or papered) specimens were assigned MGCL barcodes, photographed, and their labels digitized. Abdomens were then removed using sterile forceps, cleaned with 100% ethanol between each sample, and the remaining specimens were returned to their respective trays within the MGCL collections. Abdomens were placed in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes with the apex of the abdomen in the conical end of the tube. For larger abdomens, 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes or larger were utilized. A solution of proteinase K (Qiagen Cat #19133) and genomic lysis buffer (OmniPrep Genomic DNA Extraction Kit) in a 1:50 ratio was added to each abdomen containing tube, sufficient to cover the abdomen (typically either 300 µL or 500 µL) - similar to the concept used in Hundsdoerfer & Kitching (1). Ratios of 1:10 and 1:25 were utilized for low quality or rare specimens. Low quality specimens were defined as having little visible tissue inside of the abdomen, mold/fungi growth, or smell of bacterial decay. Samples were incubated overnight (12-18 hours) in a dry air oven at 56°C. Importantly, we also adjusted the ratio depending on the tissue type, i.e., increasing the ratio for particularly large or egg-containing abdomens.

St::ttns of 15 Antioch Insects Listed in Notice of 75 Review by the U.S. Fish "l.nd Wildlife Service INTRODUCTION The sand dune formation east of Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, comprised the largest riverine dune system in California. Biogeographically, this formation was unique because it supported a northern extension of plants and animals of desert, rather than coastal, affinities. Geologists believe that the dunes were relicts of the most recent glaciation of the Sierra Nevada, probably originating 10,000 to 25,000 years ago, with the sand derived from the supratidal floodplain of the combined Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The ice age climate in the area is thought to have been cold but arid. Presumably summertime winds sweeping through the Carquinez Strait across the glacial-age floodplains would have picked up the fine-grained sand and redeposited it to the east and southeast, thus creating the dune fields of eastern Contra Costa County.

  • Are Pollinating Hawk Moths Declining in the Northeastern United States? an Analysis of Collection Records
    11/30/2017 Are pollinating hawk moths declining in the Northeastern United States? An analysis of collection records Are pollinating hawk moths declining in the Northeastern United States? An analysis of collection records Bruce E. Young , Stephanie Auer , Margaret Ormes , Giovanni Rapacciuolo , Dale Schweitzer , Nicole Sears Published: October 5, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185683 Abstract Increasing attention to pollinators and their role in providing ecosystem services has revealed a paucity of studies on long-term population trends of most insect pollinators in many parts of the world. Because targeted monitoring programs are resource intensive and unlikely to be performed on most insect pollinators, we took advantage of existing collection records to examine long- term trends in northeastern United States populations of 26 species of hawk moths (family Sphingidae) that are presumed to be pollinators. We compiled over 6,600 records from nine museum and 14 private collections that spanned a 112-year period, and used logistic generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) to examine long-term population trends. We controlled for uneven sampling effort by adding a covariate for list length, the number of species recorded during each sampling event. We found that of the 22 species for which there was sufficient data to assess population trends, eight species declined and four species increased in detection probability (the probability of a species being recorded during each year while accounting for effort, climate, and spatial effects in the GLMMs). Of the four species with too few records to statistically assess, two have disappeared from parts of their ranges.

Here, we define the distribution and extent of genomic diversity across the range of the iconic but threatened Acacia purpureopetala, a beautiful sprawling shrub with mauve flowers, restricted to a few disjunct populations in far north Queensland, Australia. Seed production is poor and germination sporadic, but the species occurs in abundance at some field sites. While several thousands of SNP markers were recovered, comparable to other Acacia species, very low levels of heterozygosity and allelic variation suggested inbreeding. Limited dispersal most likely contributed towards the high levels of divergence amongst field sites and, using a generalised dissimilarity modelling framework amongst environmental, spatial and floristic data, spatial distance was found to be the strongest factor explaining the current distribution of genetic diversity. We illustrate how population genomic data can be utilised to design Citation: van der Merwe, M.M.; Yap, a collecting strategy for a germplasm conservation collection that optimises genetic diversity.

  • An Evolutionary Perspective on Contemporary Genetic Load In
    An evolutionary perspective on contemporary genetic load in threatened species to inform future conservation efforts Samarth Mathur1, John Tomeˇcek2, Luis Tarango-Ar´ambula3, Robert Perez4, and Andrew DeWoody1 1Purdue University 2Texas A&M University 3Colegio de Postgraduados Campus San Luis Potosi 4Texas Parks and Wildlife Department June 29, 2021 Abstract In theory, genomic erosion can be reduced in fragile “recipient” populations by translocating individuals from genetically diverse “donor” populations. However, recent simulation studies have argued that such translocations can, in principle, serve as a conduit for new deleterious mutations to enter recipient populations. A reduction in evolutionary fitness is associated with a higher load of deleterious mutations and thus, a better understanding of evolutionary processes driving the empirical distribution of deleterious mutations is crucial. Here, we show that genetic load is evolutionarily dynamic in nature and that demographic history greatly influences the distribution of deleterious mutations over time. Our analyses, based on both demographically explicit simulations as well as whole genome sequences of potential donor-recipient pairs of Montezuma Quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) populations, indicate that all populations tend to lose deleterious mutations during bottlenecks, but that genetic purging is pronounced in smaller populations with stronger bottlenecks. Despite carrying relatively fewer deleterious mutations, we demonstrate how small, isolated populations are more likely to suffer inbreeding depression as deleterious mutations that escape purging are homogenized due to drift, inbreeding, and ineffective purifying selection. We apply a population genomics framework to showcase how the phylogeography and historical demography of a given species can enlighten genetic rescue efforts. Our data suggest that small, inbred populations should benefit the most when assisted gene flow stems from genetically diverse donor populations that have the lowest proportion of deleterious mutations.
