The European Congresses of Protistology (ECOP) are the most visible activities of the Federation of European Protistological Societies (FEPS), a nonprofit association of 12 national and cross- national protistological societies in Europe. The VII ECOP congress will be organized for the first time as a joint meeting in partnership with the International Society of Protistologists (ISOP), a global society which has members across the world with interests in all areas of Protistology, and some of its affiliated societies are also constituent societies of FEPS. This will be a very special occasion, so we thank you for your active participation in this outstanding meeting point for protistologists worldwide. The Congress has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in different protistological fields, from the molecular to the ecological ones. Contributions will be presented in the form of 8 Plenary Lectures, 11 Symposia, 10 Workshops, 9 General Oral Sessions, 3 Special Sessions for PhD Students and Young Postdocts and 3 Poster Sessions. These activities assure that the meeting will be a major scientific event. We are especially grateful to ISOP which organized and generously supported two symposia and two plenary lectures, one of them being the 2015 Hutner Award lecture. Therefore, the 2015 ISOP Meeting will take place in close connection with VII ECOP, one could say in a symbiotic-like way. Hence the name VII ECOP – ISOP Joint Meeting. The meeting will be held in two venues located near the centre of the city and at a walking distance from each other, the Hotel-Conference Center Sylken Al-Andalus Palace and the Reina Mercedes Scientific Campus of the University of Seville. We would like to deeply express our thanks to the University of Seville for its generous support, to I3 Congresos y Eventos for the excellent arrangement of logistical and technical aspects of the Congress, and to our dedicated staff, colleagues, friends and families for their untiring help, support and advice in planning and arranging this meeting. We hope that you will enjoy the Congress and that your interaction with your colleagues from different countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding. We also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the charming and beautiful Seville, an ancient historical city that for almost three centuries was the gateway to the Americas and a unique space for cultural and commercial exchange between Europe and the New World. We very much look forward to your participation and to welcoming you in Seville. Yours sincerely, Aurelio Serrano President of the Organizing Committee of the VII ECOP – ISOP Joint Meeting Ana Martín President of GEP – SEM Eduardo Villalobo Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the VII ECOP – ISOP Joint Meeting 4 / Wellcome Address Congress Useful Information VII ECOP - ISOP Joint Meeting VENUES The VII ECOP – ISOP Joint Meeting will be held in two venues located near the centre of the city and at a walking distance from each other (ca. 800 meters), the Silken Al Andalus Palace Hotel Conference Center (Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th) and the Reina Mercedes Scientific Campus of the University of Seville (Monday 7th - Thursday 10th).

  • Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
    Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

  • Checklist of Mediterranean Free-Living Dinoflagellates
    Botanica Marina Vol. 46, 2003, pp. 215–242 © 2003 by Walter de Gruyter · Berlin · New York Checklist of Mediterranean Free-living Dinoflagellates F. Gómez Department of Aquatic Biosciences, The University of Tokyo, 1-1-1 Yayoi, Bunkyo, Tokyo 113-8657, Japan, [email protected] An annotated checklist of the free-living dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae) of the Mediterranean Sea, based on literature records, is given. The distribution of 673 species in 9 Mediterranean sub-basins is reported. The number of taxa among the sub-basins was as follows: Ligurian (496 species), Balear-Provençal (360), Adri- atic (322), Tyrrhenian (284), Ionian (283), Levantine (268), Aegean (182), Alborán (179) and Algerian Seas (151). Introduction cionellum Defrandre, Pentapharsodinium Indelicato et Loeblich III and Preperidinium Mangin have been The oligotrophic conditions in the Mediterranean added to the Peridiniaceae. Sea could favour the richness of dinoflagellates, Synonyms have been tracked down and relocated typical organisms of oligotrophic waters. Intensive in order to avoid duplicate entries. Synonyms, which studies have been made by Jörgensen (1920, have not been quoted in the world literature during 1923), Schiller (1931–37) (Adriatic Sea), Pavillard the last decades, are not reported. Because of space (1905–1937) (Gulf of Lions and Monaco), Halim limitation, not all the references reporting each (1960) (Villefranche and Alexandria), Rampi species for each area have been included. Only when (1939–1969) (Ligurian Sea) and Margalef (1945– a taxon is reported in less than 3 of the 9 Mediter- 1995) (Spanish coasts). However a catalogue of the ranean sub-basins considered, is the source of the dinoflagellate species recorded is not available.

There are four groups of dictyostelids, with the most derived being a group that contains the model species Dictyostelium discoideum. Results: We have produced a draft genome sequence of another group dictyostelid, Dictyostelium purpureum, and compare it to the D. discoideum genome. The assembly (8.41 × coverage) comprises 799 scaffolds totaling 33.0 Mb, comparable to the D. discoideum genome size. Sequence comparisons suggest that these two dictyostelids shared a common ancestor approximately 400 million years ago. In spite of this divergence, most orthologs reside in small clusters of conserved synteny. Comparative analyses revealed a core set of orthologous genes that illuminate dictyostelid physiology, as well as differences in gene family content.

A cell cycle study was carried out over a 22 h period on 9 and 10 November to describe the physiological status and the short-term variability in cell toxin quota of D. acuta at the time of the annual maximum of lipophilic toxins in shellfish. At that time, the population of D. acuta showed an extremely low division rate (μ = 0.03 d–1), a high frequency of dead cells (up to 15%) and cells with starch granules (up to 93%), and no evidence of recent mixotrophic behaviour. Still, the cells, which did not perform vertical migration, aggregated around salinity-driven density discontinuities in the top 5 m and had a high cell toxin quota (deter- mined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) for this species. A 3.5-fold difference was found between maximum (during the night) and minimum values of cell toxin quota.

Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years.

Zygote gene expression and plasmodial development in Didymium iridis A Thesis presented in Partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Biology By Sean Schaefer 2019 Advisor: Dr. Margaret Silliker Department of Biological Sciences College of Liberal Arts and Sciences DePaul University Chicago, IL Abstract: Didymium iridis is a cosmopolitan species of plasmodial slime mold consisting of two distinct life stages. Haploid amoebae and diploid plasmodia feed on microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi through phagocytosis. Sexually compatible haploid amoebae act as gametes which when fused embark on an irreversible developmental change resulting in a diploid zygote. The zygote can undergo closed mitosis resulting in a multinucleated plasmodium. Little is known about changes in gene expression during this developmental transition. Our principal goal in this study was to provide a comprehensive list of genes likely to be involved in plasmodial development.

Dinoflagellate infections have been reported for different protistan and animal hosts. We report, for the first time, the association between a dinoflagellate parasite and a rotifer host, tentatively Synchaeta sp. (Rotifera), collected from the port of Valencia, NW Mediterranean Sea. The rotifer contained a sporangium with 100–200 thecate dinospores that develop synchronically through palintomic sporogenesis. This undescribed dinoflagellate forms a new and divergent fast-evolved lineage that branches amongthe dinokaryotic dinoflagellates. 1. Introduction form independent lineages with no evident relation to other dinoflagellates [12]. In this study, we describe a new lineage of The alveolates (or Alveolata) are a major lineage of protists an undescribed parasitic dinoflagellate that largely diverged divided into three main phyla: ciliates, apicomplexans, and from other known dinoflagellates.
