ZooKeys 157: 67–79. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.157.1339 Abstract Nearly 260 taxa and chromosomal races of subfamily Chrysomelinae have been chromosomally ana- lyzed showing a wide range of diploid numbers from 2n = 12 to 2n = 50, and four types of male sex- chromosome systems. with the parachute-like ones Xyp and XYp clearly prevailing (79.0%), but with the XO well represented too (19.75%). The modal haploid number for chrysomelines is n = 12 (34.2%) although it is not probably the presumed most plesiomorph for the whole subfamily, because in tribe Timarchini the modal number is n = 10 (53.6%) and in subtribe Chrysomelina n = 17 (65.7%). Some well sampled genera, such as Timarcha, Chrysolina and Cyrtonus, are variable in diploid numbers, whereas others, like Chrysomela, Paropsisterna, Oreina and Leptinotarsa, are conservative and these differences are discussed. The main shifts in the chromosomal evolution of Chrysomelinae seems to be centric fissions and pericentric inversions but other changes as centric fusions are also clearly demonstrated.

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Accepted (accepted date) We review the concept of bailout embedding; a general process for obtaining order from chaotic dy- namics by embedding the system within another larger one. Such an embedding can target islands of order and hence control chaos. Moreover, a small amount of noise enhances this process. Keywords: Bailout embedding, emergence in noisy environments, noise-induced patterns, noisy self- organization 1. Introduction “But how does it happen,” I said with admiration, “that you were able to solve the mystery of the library looking at it from the outside, and you were unable to solve it when you were inside?” “Thus God knows the world, because He conceived it in His mind, as if from the outside, before it was created, and we do not know its rule, because we live inside it, having found it already made.” Dialogue between Adso and William, in Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, Third Day: Vespers. Many times we have a given system, we want to study it or modify its behaviour, but we cannot get inside. We are thus obliged to do so from the outside.

    c Copyright 2014 Sudharsan Madhavan Lagrangian coherent structures and the dynamics of inertial particles Sudharsan Madhavan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: James J. Riley, Chair Steven L. Brunton J. Nathan Kutz Christopher S. Bretherton Program Authorized to Offer Degree: UW Applied Mathematics University of Washington Abstract Lagrangian coherent structures and the dynamics of inertial particles Sudharsan Madhavan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: James J. Riley Professor, Mechanical Engineering Adjunct Professor, Applied Mathematics Dynamics of inertial particles in two-dimensional planar flow have been investigated by evaluating finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE). The first part of our work deals with inertial particle dynamics. The Maxey-Riley equations have been employed to track par- ticles. Patterns formed by inertial particles are reported along with their dependance on Strokes number and density of particles relative to the carrier-fluid density. Our results dis- tinguish patterns formed by particles denser than the fluid (aerosols) from those formed by particles lighter than the fluid (bubbles). Preferential concentration of these particles at specific regions of the flow have been observed. The attenuating, low-pass filter effect of Stokes drag on bubbles are reported for the first time. The results from this part of the work motivated further investigations into the underlying organizing structures of the flow, namely the Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS). LCS is traditionally evaluated us- ing FTLE. In the next part of the work, our objective was to interpret the dynamics of inertial par- ticles by evaluating finite-time Lyapunov exponents on their trajectories.

  • Dynamics of Finite-Size Particles in Chaotic Fluid Flows
    Dynamics of Finite-Size Particles in Chaotic Fluid Flows Julyan H.E. Cartwright, Ulrike Feudel, György Károlyi, Alessandro de Moura, Oreste Piro, and Tamás Tél Abstract We review recent advances on the dynamics of finite-size particles advected by chaotic fluid flows, focusing on the phenomena caused by the inertia of finite-size particles which have no counterpart in traditionally studied passive tracers. Particle inertia enlarges the phase space and makes the advection dynamics much richer than the passive tracer dynamics, because particles’ trajectories can diverge from the trajectories of fluid parcels. We cover both confined and open flow regimes, and we also discuss the dynamics of interacting particles, which can undergo fragmentation and coagulation. 1 Introduction and Overview A correct formulation of the problem of the motion of finite-size particles in fluid flows has presented difficult challenges for generations of fluid dynamicists. Although in principle this problem is “just” another application of the Navier– Stokes equation, with moving boundary conditions, a direct solution of the fluid dynamical equations is not only very difficult, but also not very illuminating. So from the nineteenth century onwards efforts were made to find the appropriate approximations which allow one to write the equations of motion of small rigid particles in a given flow in the form of ordinary differential equations, regarding the flow’s velocity field as given. Some very subtle issues are involved in making the right kinds of approximations and assumptions in a self-consistent way, and a number of incorrect results appeared in the early literature. The issue was finally resolved when Maxey and Riley [1] wrote down the equations of motion for a small spherical rigid particle advected by a (smooth) flow and Auton et al.

    SYNTHESIS AND PHYLOGENETIC COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF KARYOTYPE EVOLUTION IN ARTHROPODS by HEATH BLACKMON Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2015 Copyright © by Heath Blackmon 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I owe a great debt of gratitude to my advisor professor Jeffery Demuth. The example that he has set has shaped the type of scientist that I strive to be. Jeff has given me tremendous intelectual freedom to develop my own research interests and has been a source of sage advice both scientific and personal. I also appreciate the guidance, insight, and encouragement of professors Esther Betrán, Paul Chippindale, John Fondon, and Matthew Fujita. I have been fortunate to have an extended group of collaborators including professors Doris Bachtrog, Nate Hardy, Mark Kirkpatrick, Laura Ross, and members of the Tree of Sex Consortium who have provided opportunities and encouragement over the last five years. Three chapters of this dissertation were the result of collaborative work. My collaborators on Chapter 1 were Laura Ross and Doris Bachtrog; both were involved in data collection and writing. My collaborators for Chapters 4 and 5 were Laura Ross (data collection, analysis, and writing) and Nate Hardy (tree inference and writing). I am also grateful for the group of graduate students that have helped me in this phase of my education. I was fortunate to share an office for four years with Eric Watson.

  • Bubbling and On-Off Intermittency in Bailout Embeddings
    PHYSICAL REVIEW E 68, 016217 ͑2003͒ Bubbling and on-off intermittency in bailout embeddings Julyan H. E. Cartwright,1,* Marcelo O. Magnasco,2,† Oreste Piro,3,‡ and Idan Tuval3,§ 1Laboratorio de Estudios Cristalogra´ficos, CSIC, E-18071 Granada, Spain 2Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, I-34014 Trieste, Italy 3Institut Mediterrani d’Estudis Avanc¸ats, CSIC–UIB, E-07071 Palma de Mallorca, Spain ͑Received 14 February 2003; published 21 July 2003͒ We establish and investigate the conceptual connection between the dynamics of the bailout embedding of a Hamiltonian system and the dynamical regimes associated with the occurrence of bubbling and blowout bifurcations. The roles of the invariant manifold and the dynamics restricted to it, required in bubbling and blowout bifurcating systems, are played in the bailout embedding by the embedded Hamiltonian dynamical system. The Hamiltonian nature of the dynamics is precisely the distinctive feature of this instance of a bubbling or blowout bifurcation. The detachment of the embedding trajectories from the original ones can thus be thought of as transient on-off intermittency, and noise-induced avoidance of some regions of the embedded phase space can be recognized as Hamiltonian bubbling.
