  • Hemichordate Phylogeny: a Molecular, and Genomic Approach By
    Hemichordate Phylogeny: A molecular, and genomic approach by Johanna Taylor Cannon A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 4, 2014 Keywords: phylogeny, evolution, Hemichordata, bioinformatics, invertebrates Copyright 2014 by Johanna Taylor Cannon Approved by Kenneth M. Halanych, Chair, Professor of Biological Sciences Jason Bond, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Leslie Goertzen, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Scott Santos, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Abstract The phylogenetic relationships within Hemichordata are significant for understanding the evolution of the deuterostomes. Hemichordates possess several important morphological structures in common with chordates, and they have been fixtures in hypotheses on chordate origins for over 100 years. However, current evidence points to a sister relationship between echinoderms and hemichordates, indicating that these chordate-like features were likely present in the last common ancestor of these groups. Therefore, Hemichordata should be highly informative for studying deuterostome character evolution. Despite their importance for understanding the evolution of chordate-like morphological and developmental features, relationships within hemichordates have been poorly studied. At present, Hemichordata is divided into two classes, the solitary, free-living enteropneust worms, and the colonial, tube- dwelling Pterobranchia. The objective of this dissertation is to elucidate the evolutionary relationships of Hemichordata using multiple datasets. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to Hemichordata and outlines the objectives for the dissertation research. Chapter 2 presents a molecular phylogeny of hemichordates based on nuclear ribosomal 18S rDNA and two mitochondrial genes. In this chapter, we suggest that deep-sea family Saxipendiidae is nested within Harrimaniidae, and Torquaratoridae is affiliated with Ptychoderidae.

    TOTAL E & P South Africa B.V. SLR Project No. 720.20047.00005 ESIA for Additional Exploration Activities in Block 11B/12B: Final Scoping Report September 2020 7 DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This chapter provides a description of the South Coast region and the physical, biological and socio-economic environment likely to be affected by the proposed exploration activities. 7.1 INTRODUCTION Block 11B/12B stretches roughly between Mossel Bay in the Western Cape and Cape St Francis in the Eastern Cape. The northern boundary of the licence block is situated between approximately 130 km and 45 km offshore of Mossel Bay and Cape St Francis, respectively. Water depths in the licence block range from around 110 m to 2 300 m (see Figure 1-1). The South Coast region is here defined as lying between Cape Agulhas (34° 49'19.76”S; 20°00'59.96”E) and Port Elizabeth (33°57'56.42”S; 25°36’49.19”E). The region is dominated by the Agulhas Bank, a roughly 116 000 km2 triangular extension of the continental shelf. The Agulhas Bank represents a transition zone between the warm Agulhas Current waters to the east and the cool waters of the Benguela system to the west. Descriptions of the physical and biological environments are summarised from information provided in the Generic EMPr for Oil and Gas Prospecting off the Coast of South Africa (CCA & CMS 2001) which has been updated for this Scoping Report with information from more recent scientific studies undertaken in the general area. Information on the social environment has been summarised from internet resources and the internal social baseline study compiled by Nomad Consulting for Total E&P South Africa in late 2019 with additional inputs provided for this Scoping Report.

  • APPENDICES A. Biological Fundamentals EUKARYOTIC VS
    APPENDICES A. Biological fundamentals EUKARYOTIC VS. PROKARYOTIC CELLS Though phytoplankton is small, the cells of the smallest diatoms and flagellates can be easily seen under an ordinary microscope. However, in order to observe planktonic free-living bacteria, which barely attain a diameter of one thousandth of a millimeter, special optical methods are needed. In all cases, to appreciate the fine details of the cells, one needs an electron microscope, which has a much higher resolving power than an optical microscope. The cells can be divided into two groups: the prokaryotic and the eukaryotic cells. Bacteria and cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, whereas alI other organisms, with the exception of the archaebacteria to which we have alluded in chapter 4, are eukaryotes. In all cases biochemical studies have shown that cells are 90% water and that different functions are performed in the different organelles of the cell. In the following an idealized eukaryotic cell will serve to illustrate the main cellular features. The eukaryotic cell 174 mOLOOliCAlL lF1lJNDAMlENT AJL,§ cytoplasm is enclosed in a double-Iayered membrane, which is so thin that it appears as a single line in our drawing. In the central portion of the cell there is the nucleus surrounded by a membrane. The nucleoplasm contains a nucleolus and more than one linear chromosome, which is an association of DNA with a protein. The cytoplasm also contains various organelles, which are membrane-enclosed spaces, such as the lysosomes, where hydrolysis of polysaccharides occurs yielding monomeric sugars. These are taken up by the mitochondria, as centers of energy metabolism, and are oxidized to carbon dioxide.
