Spring Undergraduate Research Forum SURF 2018 1 Spring Undergraduate Research Forum Welcome to SURF 2018 The 25th Annual Celebration of Achievements in Undergraduate Research at Elon University The Spring Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) is a time each year when we suspend our other campus activities to celebrate the academically-centered creative endeavors and research efforts of Elon’s students. This year, SURF has 208 presentations, including an interdisciplinary symposium named South Asia in Motion; South Asia in Transition. Three students from Williams High School, Burlington, NC also join us this year by presenting their poster. Each SURF abstract was reviewed by two Elon faculty with disciplinary expertise. SURF is an integral part of CELEBRATE! – a weeklong series of events that bring to light our students’ wonderful academic and creative pursuits. We invite you to join and support the student presenters and performers as they share the joy of exploration and discovery that are the hallmarks of an intellectual community. UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Kevin Bourque Dr. Barbara Miller Dr. Eric Hall Dr. Chris Richardson Prof. Joel Hollingsworth Dr. Paula Rosinski Prof. Erin Hone Dr. David Vandermast Dr. Tonmoy Islam Prof. Bill Webb Dr. India Johnson Dr. Meredith Allison (Director) Dr. Ryan Kirk Dr. Chad Awtrey (Associate Director) Dr. Kristina Meinking Dr. Qian Xu (Associate Director) Undergraduate Research & Creative Endeavors include activities undertaken by undergraduate students with significant faculty mentoring that: 1) lead to new scholarly insights and/or the creation of new works; 2) add to the discipline; and 3) involve critical analysis of the process and/or outcome of the activities. SURF 2018 2 Quality undergraduate research and creative activity result in a product that has potential for peer-reviewed dissemination in the form of presentations, publications, exhibitions, or performances.

  • The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Four Hylicinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): Structural Features and Phylogenetic Implications

Phylogenetic studies on this subfamily were mainly based on morphological characters or several gene fragments and just involved single or two taxa. No mitochondrial genome was reported in Hylicinae before. Therefore, we sequenced and analyzed four complete mtgenomes of Hylicinae (Nacolus tuberculatus, Hylica paradoxa, Balala fujiana, and Kalasha nativa) for the first time to reveal mtgenome characterizations and reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of this group. The comparative analyses showed the mtgenome characterizations of Hylicinae are similar to members of Membracoidea. In phylogenetic results, Hylicinae was recovered as a monophyletic group in Cicadellidae and formed to the sister group of Coelidiinae + Iassinae. These results provide the comprehensive framework and worthy information toward the future researches of this subfamily. Abstract: To reveal mtgenome characterizations and reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of Hylicinae, the complete mtgenomes of four hylicine species, including Nacolus tuberculatus, Hylica paradoxa, Balala fujiana, and Kalasha nativa, were sequenced and comparatively analyzed for the first time.

  • Characterization of Two Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ledrinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Phylogenetic Analysis
    insects Article Characterization of Two Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ledrinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Phylogenetic Analysis Weijian Huang and Yalin Zhang * Key Laboratory of Plant Protection Resources and Pest Management, Ministry of Education, Entomological Museum, College of Plant Protection, Northwest A&F University, Yangling 712100, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-029-87092190 Received: 8 August 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 8 September 2020 Simple Summary: Ledrinae is a small subfamily with many unique characteristics and comprises 5 tribes with 39 genera including approximately 300 species. The monophyly of Ledrinae and the phylogenetic relationships among cicadellid subfamilies remain controversial. To provide further insight into the taxonomic status and phylogenetic status of Ledrinae, two additional complete mitochondrial genomes of Ledrinae species (Tituria sagittata and Petalocephala chlorophana) are newly sequenced and comparatively analyzed. The results showed the sequenced genes of Ledrinae retain the putative ancestral order for insects. In this study, phylogenetic analyses based on expanded sampling and gene data from GenBank indicated that Ledrinae appeared as monophyletic with maximum bootstrap support values and maximum Bayesian posterior probabilities. Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analysis of concatenated alignments of three datasets produced a well-resolved framework of Cicadellidae and valuable data toward future study in this subfamily. Abstract: Mitochondrial genomes are widely used for investigations into phylogeny, phylogeography, and population genetics. More than 70 mitogenomes have been sequenced for the diverse hemipteran superfamily Membracoidea, but only one partial and two complete mtgenomes mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced for the included subfamily Ledrinae. Here, the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two additional Ledrinae species are newly sequenced and comparatively analyzed.
