To begin, I would like to thank our membership for the opportunity and honor of serving as President of the Phycological Society of America for 2014. I also want to thank my immediate predecessor, Linda Graham, for all her efforts over the last year, and for her guidance during my year as Vice-President/President Elect. This will be an excing year for the Society. Our annual meeng will be held May 18-23 at the Oregon Convenon Center in Portland in conjuncon with three other leading aquac scienfic sociees. The meeng brings together the PSA, the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS), Associaon for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) and Society of Wetland Sciensts (SWS) in an inaugural Joint Aquac Sciences Meeng (JASM). The theme for this landmark conference is “Bridging Genes to Ecosystems: Aquac Science at a Time of Rapid Change.” With over 3500 expected to a_end, there will be many interesng opportunies for PSA members to network with other sciensts from a broad range of aquac disciplines. At the meeng PSA will be sponsoring the parcipaon of Dennis Meredith, noted author of the book Explaining Science, in a special session on “Communicang the Value of Aquac and Wetland Ecosystems to the Public and Policy Makers.” …connued on page 2 Editor: KIRSTEN M.

    Henrik Bull Application of the ancient Nordic motifs in the ornamentation of the Historical Museum and their stylization according to Art Nouveau principles Natalia Evseeva Master Thesis in History of Art Tutor: Lena Liepe Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Autumn, 2011 Summary The use of the vernacular motifs in Art Nouveau architecture is recognized as a characteristic feature of national variants of the movement. Though the process of transformation of a historical motif – what particular manipulations the architect conducts over it – and its representation in Art Nouveau style is not given much consideration. This became the major sphere of my interest and research. The main subject of the master thesis is the application by Henrik Bull of the ancient Nordic motifs in the ornamentation of the Historical Museum in Oslo. All art historians writing about Bull and one of his major projects – the Historical Museum, underline his talents of a form-giver and admit the fact of the use of the ancient Nordic motifs as sources for his ornamental designs. Little attention is given, however, to the process of creation of new patterns by Bull from the ancient Nordic motifs. The main objective of my thesis is not the identification of the sources the architect uses, but a hypothetical reconstruction of the process of the transformation of the original sources. The process of Bull’s work with the ornamentation in the Historical Museum is interpreted within the concept “decorative stylization” and its formal principles. As mythology I use the theory of stylization as a form- formation principle by Professor of St.

  • Chloroplast Phylogenomic Analysis of Chlorophyte Green Algae Identifies a Novel Lineage Sister to the Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) Claude Lemieux*, Antony T
    Lemieux et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2015) 15:264 DOI 10.1186/s12862-015-0544-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Chloroplast phylogenomic analysis of chlorophyte green algae identifies a novel lineage sister to the Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) Claude Lemieux*, Antony T. Vincent, Aurélie Labarre, Christian Otis and Monique Turmel Abstract Background: The class Chlorophyceae (Chlorophyta) includes morphologically and ecologically diverse green algae. Most of the documented species belong to the clade formed by the Chlamydomonadales (also called Volvocales) and Sphaeropleales. Although studies based on the nuclear 18S rRNA gene or a few combined genes have shed light on the diversity and phylogenetic structure of the Chlamydomonadales, the positions of many of the monophyletic groups identified remain uncertain. Here, we used a chloroplast phylogenomic approach to delineate the relationships among these lineages. Results: To generate the analyzed amino acid and nucleotide data sets, we sequenced the chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) of 24 chlorophycean taxa; these included representatives from 16 of the 21 primary clades previously recognized in the Chlamydomonadales, two taxa from a coccoid lineage (Jenufa) that was suspected to be sister to the Golenkiniaceae, and two sphaeroplealeans. Using Bayesian and/or maximum likelihood inference methods, we analyzed an amino acid data set that was assembled from 69 cpDNA-encoded proteins of 73 core chlorophyte (including 33 chlorophyceans), as well as two nucleotide data sets that were generated from the 69 genes coding for these proteins and 29 RNA-coding genes. The protein and gene phylogenies were congruent and robustly resolved the branching order of most of the investigated lineages. Within the Chlamydomonadales, 22 taxa formed an assemblage of five major clades/lineages.

  • ABSTRACT BISHOP, WEST MICHAEL. a Risk
    ABSTRACT BISHOP, WEST MICHAEL. A Risk-based Decision Information System for Selecting an Algal Management Program. (Under the direction of Dr. Robert J. Richardson). Freshwater resources are a vital component needed to support numerous human activities. Climate change, water use dynamics, and eutrophication have synergistically promoted nuisance and noxious algal blooms throughout the world. The increasing distribution, duration, and intensity of algal blooms has created unprecedented concerns over safety and usability of freshwater. Some of the largest blooms ever documented have occurred in the recent past. This dissertation is designed to provide a framework to assist in 1) understanding risks associated with nuisance algal infestations and 2) comparatively assessing the efficacy, costs, and collateral risks of different management approaches. The management decision framework consists of characterizing dimensions of the problem, identifying management objectives, and applying research to create a strategic management approach that incorporates risks of no action as well as risks associated with different management strategies. By considering information from the research chapters included herein, an accurate assessment of risks can be conducted in terms of the effectiveness and ecological integrity of management approaches. This research should be used to make informed decisions regarding the choice to manage nuisance algae and the selection of an appropriate management approach. © Copyright 2016 West Michael Bishop All Rights Reserved A Risk-based Decision Information System for Selecting an Algal Management Program by West Michael Bishop A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Crop Science Raleigh, North Carolina 2016 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr.

  • Soft Algae Species Attributes
    SCCWRP Technical Report #0730 Development of Algal Indices of Biotic Integrity for Southern California Wadeable Streams and Recommendations for their Application, v3 This document is the deliverable for Prop 50 grant Task # 4, which entailed preparation of a draft algal IBI for use in southern California wadeable streams. Abstract Using a large dataset from wadeable streams concentrated in southern California, we developed several Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) consisting of metrics derived from diatom and/or non- diatom (“soft”) algal assemblages including cyanobacteria. Over 100 metrics were screened based on metric score distributions, responsiveness to anthropogenic stress, and repeatability. High-performing metrics were combined into IBIs, which were classified according to the amount of field and laboratory effort required to generate their scores. IBIs were screened for responsiveness to anthropogenic stress, repeatability, mean correlation between component metrics, and indifference to natural gradients. Most IBIs resulted in good separation between the most disturbed and least disturbed (i.e., “reference”) site classes, but they varied in terms of how well they distinguished intermediate-disturbance sites from the other classes, and based on some of the other performance criteria listed. In general, the best performing IBIs were “hybrids”, containing a mix of diatom and soft-algae metrics. Of those tested, the soft-algae-only IBIs were better at distinguishing the intermediate from most highly disturbed site classes, and the diatom- only IBIs were marginally better than soft-algae based IBIs at distinguishing reference-quality from intermediate site classes. The single-assemblage IBIs also differed considerably in terms of the natural gradients to which they were most responsive.

  • Botswana), a Subtropical Flood-Pulsed Wetland
    Biodiversity and Biomass of Algae in the Okavango Delta (Botswana), a Subtropical Flood-Pulsed Wetland Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by LUCA MARAZZI University College London Department of Geography University College London December 2014 I, LUCA MARAZZI, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. LUCA MARAZZI 2 ABSTRACT In freshwater bodies algae provide key ecosystem services such as food and water purification. This is the first systematic assessment of biodiversity, biomass and distribution patterns of these aquatic primary producers in the Okavango Delta (Botswana), a subtropical flood-pulsed wetland in semiarid Southern Africa. This study delivers the first estimate of algal species and genera richness at the Delta scale; 496 species and 173 genera were observed in 132 samples. A new variety of desmid (Chlorophyta) was discovered, Cosmarium pseudosulcatum var. okavangicum, and species richness estimators suggest that a further few hundred unidentified species likely live in this wetland. Rare species represent 81% of species richness and 30% of total algal biovolume. Species composition is most similar within habitat types, thus varying more significantly at the Delta scale. In seasonally inundated floodplains, algal species / genera richness and diversity are significantly higher than in permanently flooded open water habitats. The annual flood pulse has historically allowed more diverse algal communities to develop and persist in these shallower and warmer environments with higher mean nutrient levels and more substrata and more heterogenous habitats for benthic taxa. These results support the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, Species-Energy Theory and Habitat Heterogeneity Diversity hypotheses.

[email protected] Noviembre de 2017 Resumen El embalse Abreus es una de las principales fuentes de abastecimiento de agua de la provincia Cienfuegos y en los últimos años se han detectado florecimientos de cianobacterias potencialmente tóxicas, lo que ha despertado interés en el estudio del fitoplancton de este ecosistema. En esta investigación se determinó la variación temporal de la diversidad y abundancia de las comunidades de fitoplancton del embalse y su relación con el estado trófico del sistema. Se realizaron 17 muestreos en el período de 2010 a 2016, en diferentes meses del año. Las muestras se tomaron a nivel subsuperficial (0.5 m) para el análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de fitoplancton. Además se midieron temperatura, pH, transparencia y en algunas colectas las concentraciones de clorofila a, oxígeno disuelto y nutrientes. Se identificaron 177 taxones infragenéricos de fitoplancton, que se clasificaron en ocho phyla, 14 clases, 27 órdenes y 49 familias.
