  • The Effect of Anthropogenic Habitat Modification on Insect- Mediated Ecosystem Services
    THE EFFECT OF ANTHROPOGENIC HABITAT MODIFICATION ON INSECT- MEDIATED ECOSYSTEM SERVICES Audrey Maran A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2020 Committee: Shannon Pelini, Advisor Nathan Hensley Graduate Faculty Representative Kevin McCluney Karen Root Michael Weintraub © 2020 Audrey Maran All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Shannon Pelini, Advisor Human activity and land use negatively affect many arthropods that provide important ecosystem services. Agricultural land and cities are both common types of human-modified habitat that often have decreased arthropod richness and diversity, due in part to loss of habitat quantity, habitat complexity (i.e. habitat types available), and structural complexity (i.e. habitat density, shape, or height). This dissertation focuses on gaps in understanding of t he relationship between habitat complexity and arthropod-mediated ecosystem services in human-modified environments. In agricultural fields, we examined the response of ground arthropods, microbial activity, and nutrient pools to applications of a nutrient source (labile detritus: mayfly carcasses) and/or habitat structure (recalcitrant detritus: corn stover) over a 7-week period. In urban prairies, we examined the relationship between arthropod predators and complexity, and the impact that urban features have on that relationship at multiple scales. Throughout the work presented in this dissertation, we found that known patterns and relationships were disrupted or dampened in human-modified habitats. Though labile detritus recruited ground arthropods to agricultural fields, they did not stimulate nutrient cycling as they do in less-modified systems. The labile detritus provided nutrients but had little impact on microbial activity.

Jack, who was emeritus professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii and a research Associate at Bishop Museum, passed away suddenly on 5 February 2001, while visiting Bishop Museum and assisting us in sorting and identifying the wasps for this project. His passing left a huge void in our work and in our hearts. He was happiest when in the field collecting insects and also when identifying insects using a microscope, with his trademark pair of jewelers’ glasses flipped out of the way on his head.

  • Transformación Genética De Plantas Para Resistencia a Virus 5
    HODSON DE JARAMILLO, E.: TRANSFORMACIÓN GENÉTICA DE PLANTAS PARA RESISTENCIA A VIRUS 5 BIOTECNOLOGÍA TRANSFORMACIÓN GENÉTICA DE PLANTAS PARA RESISTENCIA A VIRUS por Elizabeth Hodson de Jaramillo * Resumen Hodson de Jaramillo, E.: Transformación genética de plantas para resistencia a virus. Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. 29 (110): 5-24, 2005. ISSN: 0370-3908. El desarrollo de técnicas de manipulación genética constituye un valioso apoyo a los sistemas de mejoramiento convencional, principalmente en aquellas situaciones en las cuales el acceso a genes de interés se encuentra limitado. La utilización de cultivos transgénicos comerciales se ha expandido en el mundo en forma acelerada desde cuando se aprobó su uso en 1994, y son numerosos los beneficios que se han determinado para el agricultor y para el ambiente. El presente artículo presenta el contexto general de la manipulación genética de cultivos, un ejemplo de desarrollos en Colombia, relativos a la transformación genética de Passiflora edulis para darle resistencia a virus y también hace referencia a aspectos de bioseguridad. Palabras clave: Plantas transgénicas, transformación genética, Passiflora edulis, bioseguridad. Abstract The development of genetic manipulation techniques has become an important tool for conventional crop breeding programs, especially where the required genes for breeding are limited. The commercialization and worldwide use of transgenic plants has been expanding since their approval for liberation in 1994, showing several benefits for the farmers as well as for the environment. This paper presents the general context of crop genetic manipulation, an example of developments in Colombia in genetic transformation of Passiflora edulis for virus resistance, and finally it refers to Biosafety issues.
