B-1 iv Abstract We reviewed the data management techniques used to generate species occurrence data during the Golden Gate National Parks BioBlitz and produced a species list from the event. This large scale, all- taxa inventory of biodiversity in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Muir Woods National Monument was held on March 28-29, 2014. Co-hosted by National Geographic, the National Park Service, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and the Presidio Trust, the event involved thousands of participants and hundreds of data recorders. Although the internet platform iNaturalist was utilized as the core database for species observations, and a high proportion of data entered during the event went directly into iNaturalist by observers in the field via a mobile app, other forms of data such as paper datasheets and spreadsheets had to be processed on desktop computers. Of the 2,884 species documented during the BioBlitz, 1,718 were new to the park, i.e. not already on the Golden Gate National Recreation Area official species list. We were also able to confirm species occurrence for a further 73 species already on the park list noted as expected for the area but without supporting observational data. The protracted length of time between data collection and the production of a definitive species list is in part a reflection of the level of data processing required to combine data from multiple formats, as well as challenges correlating taxonomic nomenclature between synonymous records. Widespread adoption of a single platform such as iNaturalist for similar events would help ease production of species lists. This report

  • Pinpointing the Origin of Mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei
    Pinpointing the origin of mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei, China B.S., Wuhan University, 2009 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology University of Virginia August, 2014 ii Abstract The explosive growth of genomic data presents both opportunities and challenges for the study of evolutionary biology, ecology and diversity. Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis (known as phylogenomics) has demonstrated its power in resolving the evolutionary tree of life and deciphering various fascinating questions regarding the origin and evolution of earth’s contemporary organisms. One of the most fundamental events in the earth’s history of life regards the origin of mitochondria. Overwhelming evidence supports the endosymbiotic theory that mitochondria originated once from a free-living α-proteobacterium that was engulfed by its host probably 2 billion years ago. However, its exact position in the tree of life remains highly debated. In particular, systematic errors including sparse taxonomic sampling, high evolutionary rate and sequence composition bias have long plagued the mitochondrial phylogenetics. This dissertation employs an integrated phylogenomic approach toward pinpointing the origin of mitochondria. By strategically sequencing 18 phylogenetically novel α-proteobacterial genomes, using a set of “well-behaved” phylogenetic markers with lower evolutionary rates and less composition bias, and applying more realistic phylogenetic models that better account for the systematic errors, the presented phylogenomic study for the first time placed the mitochondria unequivocally within the Rickettsiales order of α- proteobacteria, as a sister clade to the Rickettsiaceae and Anaplasmataceae families, all subtended by the Holosporaceae family.

  • The Role of Charcoal and Dietary Crude Protein Supplemented with Probiotic Escherchia Coli Strains UM2 and UM7
    Gut microbiome analysis in piglet models infected with Escherchia coli K88: The role of charcoal and dietary crude protein supplemented with probiotic Escherchia coli strains UM2 and UM7. by Shahab Meshkibaf A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2011 by Shahab Meshkibaf ABSTRACT Entrotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 is a causative agent of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in early-weaned pigs. This study investigated the efficacy of two alternative diets, charcoal (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2%) and a low crude protein (CP) diet (17%) supplemented with probiotic E. coli strains (UM2 and UM7), against PWD infection in ETEC K88 challenged piglets. The present study found that charcoal had no effect on the challenged piglets’ performance, ileal and colonic microbiota or their fermentation end products. There was, however, a correlation between charcoal dosage and fecal consistency score. Charcoal reduced the ileal mucosal attached ETEC K88. Feeding a low-CP diet resulted in a lower ileal ammonia concentration. The low-CP diet reduced the E. coli populations in the ileal digesta as well as lowered mRNA expression of the IL-1ß. We concluded that the use of both 1-2% charcoal diet and a low-CP diet supplemented with probiotic E. coli strains were effective in reducing the incidence and severity of PWD infection. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all people who have helped and inspired me during my graduate study.

Received: 15 April 2011; in revised form: 19 May 2011 / Accepted: 24 May 2011 / Published: 3 June 2011 Abstract: Systemic and local inflammation in relation to the resident microbiota of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract and administration of probiotics are the main themes of the present review. The dominating taxa of the human GI tract and their potential for aggravating or suppressing inflammation are described. The review focuses on human trials with probiotics and does not include in vitro studies and animal experimental models. The applications of probiotics considered are systemic immune-modulation, the metabolic syndrome, liver injury, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer and radiation-induced enteritis. When the major genomic differences between different types of probiotics are taken into account, it is to be expected that the human body can respond differently to the different species and strains of probiotics. This fact is often neglected in discussions of the outcome of clinical trials with probiotics. Keywords: probiotics; inflammation; gut microbiota 1. Inflammation Inflammation is a defence reaction of the body against injury. The word inflammation originates from the Latin word ―inflammatio‖ which means fire, and traditionally inflammation is characterised by redness, swelling, pain, heat and impaired body functions.

  • PROTISTS Shore and the Waves Are Large, Often the Largest of a Storm Event, and with a Long Period
    (seas), and these waves can mobilize boulders. During this phase of the storm the rapid changes in current direction caused by these large, short-period waves generate high accelerative forces, and it is these forces that ultimately can move even large boulders. Traditionally, most rocky-intertidal ecological stud- ies have been conducted on rocky platforms where the substrate is composed of stable basement rock. Projec- tiles tend to be uncommon in these types of habitats, and damage from projectiles is usually light. Perhaps for this reason the role of projectiles in intertidal ecology has received little attention. Boulder-fi eld intertidal zones are as common as, if not more common than, rock plat- forms. In boulder fi elds, projectiles are abundant, and the evidence of damage due to projectiles is obvious. Here projectiles may be one of the most important defi ning physical forces in the habitat.
