  • A Method to Identify a Large Number of Small Species-Specific Genomic
    Fiscon et al. BioData Mining (2016) 9:38 DOI 10.1186/s13040-016-0116-2 RESEARCH Open Access MISSEL: a method to identify a large number of small species-specific genomic subsequences and its application to viruses classification Giulia Fiscon1*† , Emanuel Weitschek1,2†, Eleonora Cella3,4, Alessandra Lo Presti3, Marta Giovanetti3,5, Muhammed Babakir-Mina6, Marco Ciotti7, Massimo Ciccozzi1,3, Alessandra Pierangeli8, Paola Bertolazzi1 and Giovanni Felici1 *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract †Equal contributors Background: Continuous improvements in next generation sequencing technologies 1Institute of Systems Analysis and Computer Science A. Ruberti (IASI), led to ever-increasing collections of genomic sequences, which have not been easily National Research Council (CNR), characterized by biologists, and whose analysis requires huge computational effort. Via dei Taurini 19, 00185 Rome, Italy The classification of species emerged as one of the main applications of DNA analysis Full list of author information is available at the end of the article and has been addressed with several approaches, e.g., multiple alignments-, phylogenetic trees-, statistical- and character-based methods. Results: We propose a supervised method based on a genetic algorithm to identify small genomic subsequences that discriminate among different species. The method identifies multiple subsequences of bounded length with the same information power in a given genomic region. The algorithm has been successfully evaluated through its integration into a rule-based classification framework and applied to three different biological data sets: Influenza, Polyoma, and Rhino virus sequences. Conclusions: We discover a large number of small subsequences that can be used to identify each virus type with high accuracy and low computational time, and moreover help to characterize different genomic regions.

Little is known about how insectivorous bird diets are influenced by arthropod availability and about how these relationships vary seasonally. We captured birds in forest-canopy gaps and adjacent mature forest during 2001 and 2002 at the Savannah River Site in Barnwell County, South Carolina, and flushed their crops to gather information about arthropods eaten during four periods: spring migration, breeding, postbreeding, and fall migration. Arthropod availability for foliage- and ground-gleaning birds was examined by leaf clipping and pitfall trapping. Coleopterans and Hemipterans were used by foliage- and ground-gleaners more than expected durin all periods, whereas arthropods in the orders Araneae and Hymenoptera were used as, or less than, expected basef on availability durin all periods. Ground-gleaning birds used Homopterans and Lepidopterans in proportions higher than availability furing all periods. Arthropod use by birds was consistent from spring through all migration, with no apparent seasonal shift in diet.

The main characters used for separating the species are the genitalia. Thirty-five species belonging to seven species-groups are recognized. One genus and thirteen species are newly placed in synonymy. S. excerptalis is reinstated from synonymy. Ten species are transferred to Scirpophaga. S. praelata var xanthopygata Schawerda is raised to specific rank. One neotype for S. virginia Schultze and lectotypes for eight species are designated. Five species are described as new. The main characters of the Schoenobiinae and the general morphology of Scirpophaga are given. The zoogeography of the group is briefly discussed and a distribution map of each species is included. 3 CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 4 6 INTRODUCTION 10 MATERIALS AND METHODS 12 TAXOMIC HISTORY OF THE GENUS SCIRPOPHAGA 22 THE MAIN CHARACTERS OF SCHOENOBIINAE 4 4 444 27 THE GENERAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE SCIRPOPHAGA COMPLEX 34 BIOLOGY AND ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 40 ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE SCIRPOPHAGA COMPLEX Genus SCIRPOPHAGA 62 Key to the species-groups 64 Species-Group PRAELATA 67 Key to species of praelata group 69 S.

Abstract Background: According to many field experts, specimens classification based on morphological keys needs to be supported with automated techniques based on the analysis of DNA fragments. The most successful results in this area are those obtained from a particular fragment of mitochondrial DNA, the gene cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) (the “barcode”). Since 2004 the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) promotes the collection of barcode specimens and the development of methods to analyze the barcode for several tasks, among which the identification of rules to correctly classify an individual into its species by reading its barcode.

  • Evolution of Woodcutting Behaviour in Early Pliocene Beaver Driven by Consumption of Woody Plants Tessa Plint1,2*, Fred J
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Evolution of woodcutting behaviour in Early Pliocene beaver driven by consumption of woody plants Tessa Plint1,2*, Fred J. Longstafe1, Ashley Ballantyne3, Alice Telka4,7 & Natalia Rybczynski5,6 Modern beavers (Castor) are prolifc ecosystem engineers and dramatically alter the landscape through tree harvesting and dam building. Little is known, however, about the evolutionary drivers of their woodcutting behaviour. Here we investigate if early woodcutting behaviour in Castoridae was driven by nutritional needs. We measured stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) of coeval subfossil plants and beaver collagen (Dipoides sp.) from the Early Pliocene, High Arctic Beaver Pond fossil locality (Ellesmere Island), in order to reconstruct Dipoides sp. diet. Isotopic evidence indicates a diet of woody plants and freshwater macrophytes, supporting the hypothesis that this extinct semiaquatic beaver engaged in woodcutting behaviour for feeding purposes. In a phylogenetic context, the isotopic evidence implies that woodcutting and consumption of woody plants can be traced back to a small-bodied, semiaquatic Miocene castorid, suggesting that beavers have been consuming woody plants for over 20 million years. We propose that the behavioural complex (swimming, woodcutting, and consuming woody plants) preceded and facilitated the evolution of dam building. Dam building and food caching behaviours appear to be specializations for cold winter survival and may have evolved in response to late Neogene northern cooling. Beavers today are renowned for their woodcutting behaviour and construction abilities. Te extant genus Castor harvests trees and shrubs for sustenance (particularly during the winter1), but also for the purpose of lodge and dam building.

  • Abundance of Green Tree Frogs and Insects in Artificial Canopy Gaps in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest
    Abundance of Green Tree Frogs and Insects in Artificial Canopy Gaps in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest ABSTR;I(7.-M1e found mol e green tree frogs ( Hjla izntv-tv~)in canopv gaps than in closed canopy forest.

Southeastern bottomland forests serve as an important source of harclwood timber, as well as critical habitat for many wildlife species. Land-clearing for agriculture since the colonization of North America has resulted in a large reduction of these wetland habitats (DahI, 1990) and current projections estimate that, by the year 2030, hardwood timber removal mill increase by 64% over 1984 levels (USDA Forest Service, 1988). Therefore, it is imperative to understand these ecosystems and to develop sustainable practices that retain the full complement of species associated with bottomland hardwoods while still generating timber revenue. Currently, clearcutting is the most common method of harvesting and regenerating bottomland forests (Clatterbuck and Meadows, 1993). It remains a valuable silvicultrrral practice for efficient removal of trees and provides habitat for rnany early successional wildlife species (Costello et al., 2000). Degpite the benefits of this even-aged method, public concerns have risen about the use of clearcutting (Guldin, 1996), so alternatives are needed.
