Phil Gibson for helping me become a better scientist and better educator. I would also like to thank my committee members Dr. Anne K. Dunn, Dr. K. David Hambright, and Dr. J.P. Masly for providing valuable inputs that lead me to carefully consider my research questions. I would also like to thank Dr. J.P. Masly for the opportunity to coauthor a book chapter on the speciation of diatoms. It is still such a privilege that you believed in me and my crazy diatom ideas to form a concise chapter in addition to learn your style of writing has been a benefit to my professional development. I’m also thankful for my first undergraduate research mentor, Dr. Miriam Steinitz-Kannan, now retired from Northern Kentucky University, who was the first to show the amazing wonders of pond scum. Who knew that studying diatoms and algae as an undergraduate would lead me all the way to a Ph.D.
  • Biology and Systematics of Heterokont and Haptophyte Algae1

    Biology and Systematics of Heterokont and Haptophyte Algae1

    American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1508±1522. 2004. BIOLOGY AND SYSTEMATICS OF HETEROKONT AND HAPTOPHYTE ALGAE1 ROBERT A. ANDERSEN Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, P.O. Box 475, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine 04575 USA In this paper, I review what is currently known of phylogenetic relationships of heterokont and haptophyte algae. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that is classi®ed into 17 classes and represents a diverse group of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial algae. Classes are distinguished by morphology, chloroplast pigments, ultrastructural features, and gene sequence data. Electron microscopy and molecular biology have contributed signi®cantly to our understanding of their evolutionary relationships, but even today class relationships are poorly understood. Haptophyte algae are a second monophyletic group that consists of two classes of predominately marine phytoplankton. The closest relatives of the haptophytes are currently unknown, but recent evidence indicates they may be part of a large assemblage (chromalveolates) that includes heterokont algae and other stramenopiles, alveolates, and cryptophytes. Heter- okont and haptophyte algae are important primary producers in aquatic habitats, and they are probably the primary carbon source for petroleum products (crude oil, natural gas). Key words: chromalveolate; chromist; chromophyte; ¯agella; phylogeny; stramenopile; tree of life. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that includes all (Phaeophyceae) by Linnaeus (1753), and shortly thereafter, photosynthetic organisms with tripartite tubular hairs on the microscopic chrysophytes (currently 5 Oikomonas, Anthophy- mature ¯agellum (discussed later; also see Wetherbee et al., sa) were described by MuÈller (1773, 1786). The history of 1988, for de®nitions of mature and immature ¯agella), as well heterokont algae was recently discussed in detail (Andersen, as some nonphotosynthetic relatives and some that have sec- 2004), and four distinct periods were identi®ed.

An extensive culturing effort was conducted before and 17 during a phytoplankton bloom in Baffin Bay between April and July 2016. Differ- 18 ent isolation strategies were applied, including flow cytometry cell sorting, man- 19 ual single cell pipetting and serial dilution. Although all three techniques yielded 20 the most common organisms, each technique retrieved specific taxa, highlight- 21 ing the importance of using several methods to maximize the number and diver- 22 sity of isolated strains.

Box 33 (Asiakkaankatu 3) 00931 Helsinki Finland E-mail: guy.hallfors@fi mr.fi On the cover: The blue-green alga Anabaena lemmermannii. Photo Seija Hällfors / FIMR Introduction 5 Two previous checklists of Baltic Sea phytoplankton (Hällfors 1980 (1979) and Edler et al. 1984) were titled ”preliminary”. Our knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of Baltic Sea phytoplankton has increased considerably over the last 20 years. Much of this new information has been incorporated in this new list. Data from a number of older publications overlooked by Edler et al. (1984) has also been included. As a result, the number of species included has grown considerably. Especially the inclusion of more estuarine species adapted to salinities lower than those of the open Baltic Sea has increased the number of species. The new list also contains species which mainly grow in ice but form sparse planktonic populations in the beginning of the spring bloom, and species of benthic or littoral origin (whether epiphytic, epilitic, epipsammic, epipelic, or rarely epizooic), that are occasionally found in the plankton. The benthic and littoral species are coded with an ”l” in the checklist. Concerning the diatoms, especially in the order Bacillariales, it is usually impossible to tell whether the cells of such species have been alive when sampled because of the preparation techniques (including the removal of cell contents) required for an accurate determination.

    Systema Naturae. the Classification of Living Organisms

    Systema Naturae. The classification of living organisms. c Alexey B. Shipunov v. 5.601 (June 26, 2007) Preface Most of researches agree that kingdom-level classification of living things needs the special rules and principles. Two approaches are possible: (a) tree- based, Hennigian approach will look for main dichotomies inside so-called “Tree of Life”; and (b) space-based, Linnaean approach will look for the key differences inside “Natural System” multidimensional “cloud”. Despite of clear advantages of tree-like approach (easy to develop rules and algorithms; trees are self-explaining), in many cases the space-based approach is still prefer- able, because it let us to summarize any kinds of taxonomically related da- ta and to compare different classifications quite easily. This approach also lead us to four-kingdom classification, but with different groups: Monera, Protista, Vegetabilia and Animalia, which represent different steps of in- creased complexity of living things, from simple prokaryotic cell to compound Nature Precedings : doi:10.1038/npre.2007.241.2 Posted 16 Aug 2007 eukaryotic cell and further to tissue/organ cell systems.

Chao Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK Received: 11 December 2004 / Accepted: 21 September 2005 [Reviewing Editor: Patrick J. Keeling] Abstract. Heterokonts are evolutionarily important gyristea cl. nov. of Ochrophyta as once thought.

Ancestrally photosynthetic/ major focus of our study. We describe four new bicil- phagotrophic algae (mixotrophs), they include several iate bicoecean genera and five new species: Nerada ecologically important purely heterotrophic lineages, mexicana, Labromonas fenchelii (=Pseudobodo all grossly understudied phylogenetically and of tremulans sensu Fenchel), Boroka karpovii (=P. uncertain relationships. We sequenced 18S rRNA tremulans sensu Karpov), Anoeca atlantica and Cafe- genes from 14 phagotrophic non-photosynthetic het- teria mylnikovii; several cultures were previously mis- erokonts and a probable Ochromonas, performed ph- identified as Pseudobodo tremulans. Nerada and the ylogenetic analysis of 210–430 Heterokonta, and uniciliate Paramonas are related to Siluania and revised higher classification of Heterokonta and its Adriamonas; this clade (Pseudodendromonadales three phyla: the predominantly photosynthetic Och- emend.) is probably sister to Bicosoeca. Genetically rophyta; the non-photosynthetic Pseudofungi; and diverse Caecitellus is probably related to Anoeca, Bigyra (now comprising subphyla Opalozoa, Bicoecia, Symbiomonas and Cafeteria (collectively Anoecales Sagenista). The deepest heterokont divergence is emend.). Boroka is sister to Pseudodendromonadales/ apparently between Bigyra, as revised here, and Och- Bicoecales/Anoecales.
