M. Smith’s prolific research on taxonomy, reproduction, ecology, physiology, and living cultures of freshwater and marine algae did much to establish phycology as a discipline within botany in North America. It was only natural that the founders of the Phycological Society of the Americas (PSA) should ask this eminent professor of Stanford University to serve as the society’s first president (1946-47). The G. M. Smith medal, which was created by the National Academy of Sciences in 1979, to date, has been awarded to 11 phycologists.

[email protected] Abstract Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, yet our knowledge about them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS WATER RESOURCES CENTER 2535 Hydrosystems Laboratory Urbana, Illinois 61801 AUGUST 1977 ABSTRACT Water samples and free-living and sessite ciliated protozoa were col- lected at various distances above and below a stream that received runoff from a feedlot. No correlation was found between the species of protozoa recovered, water chemistry, location in the stream, or time of collection. Kenneth S. Todd, Jr'. EFFECTS OF FEEDLOT RUNOFF ON FREE-LIVING AQUATIC CILIATED PROTOZOA Final Report Project A-074-ILL, Office of Water Resources Research, Department of the Interior, August 1977, Washington, D.C., 13 p. KEYWORDS--*ciliated protozoa/feed lots runoff/*water pollution/water chemistry/Illinois/surface water INTRODUCTION The current trend for feeding livestock in the United States is toward large confinement types of operation. Most of these large commercial feedlots have some means of manure disposal and programs to prevent runoff from feed- lots from reaching streams. However, there are still large numbers of smaller feedlots, many of which do not have adequate facilities for disposal of manure or preventing runoff from reaching waterways. The production of wastes by domestic animals was often not considered in the past, but management of wastes is currently one of the largest problems facing the livestock industry.

  • 1. Dinoflagellate Chemotaxis and Attraction to Fish Products…………………………………………………………
    ABSTRACT CANCELLIERI, PAUL JOSEPH. Chemosensory Attraction of Pfiesteria spp. to Fish Secreta. (Under the direction of Dr. JoAnn M. Burkholder). Dinoflagellates represent a diverse group of both auxotrophic and heterotrophic protists. Most heterotrophic dinoflagellates are raptorial feeders that encounter prey using “temporal-gradient sensing” chemotaxis wherein cells move along a chemical gradient in a directed manner toward the highest concentration. Using short-term “memory” to determine the orientation of the gradient, dinoflagellates swim in a “run- and-tumble” pattern, alternating directed swimming with rapid changes in orientation. As the extracellular concentration of the attractant increases, a corresponding increase in the ratio of net-to-gross displacement results in overall movement toward the stimulus. The dinoflagellates Pfiesteria piscicida and P. shumwayae are heterotrophic estuarine species with complex life cycles that include amoeboid, flagellated, and cyst stages, that have been implicated as causative agents in numerous major fish kills in the southeastern United States These organisms show documented “ambush-predator” behavior toward live fish in culture, including rapid transformations among stages and directed swimming toward fish prey in a manner that suggests the presence of a strong signalling relationship between live fish and cells of Pfiesteria spp. Zoospores of the two species of Pfiesteria can be divided into three functional types: TOX-A designates actively toxic isolates fed on fish prey; TOX-B refers to temporarily non-toxic cultures that have recently (1 week to 6 months) been removed from fish prey (and fed alternative algal prey); and NON-IND refers to isolates without apparent ichthyotoxic ability (tested as unable to kill fish in the standardized fish bioassay process; or without access to fish for ca.

  • 2004 University of Connecticut Storrs, CT
    Welcome Note and Information from the Co-Conveners We hope you will enjoy the NEAS 2004 meeting at the scenic Avery Point Campus of the University of Connecticut in Groton, CT. The last time that we assembled at The University of Connecticut was during the formative years of NEAS (12th Northeast Algal Symposium in 1973). Both NEAS and The University have come along way. These meetings will offer oral and poster presentations by students and faculty on a wide variety of phycological topics, as well as student poster and paper awards. We extend a warm welcome to all of our student members. The Executive Committee of NEAS has extended dormitory lodging at Project Oceanology gratis to all student members of the Society. We believe this shows NEAS members’ pride in and our commitment to our student members. This year we will be honoring Professor Arthur C. Mathieson as the Honorary Chair of the 43rd Northeast Algal Symposium. Art arrived with his wife, Myla, at the University of New Hampshire in 1965 from California. Art is a Professor of Botany and a Faculty in Residence at the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory of the University of New Hampshire. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1965 he received his doctoral degree from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Over a 43-year career Art has supervised many undergraduate and graduate students studying the ecology, systematics and mariculture of benthic marine algae.

Drebes I & E. Schnepf 2 1Biologische Anstalt Hetgoland, Wattenmeerstation Sytt; D-25992 List/Sylt, Germany 2Zeflentehre, Fakultat fur Biologie, Universit~t Heidelberg; lm Neuenheimer Feld 230, D-fig120 Heidelberg, Germany ABSTRACT: The marine dinoflagellate Gyrodinium undulans was discovered as a feeder on the planktonic diatom Odontella aurita. Every year, during winter and early spring, a certain percent- age of cells of this bloom-forming diatom, in the Wadden Sea along the North Sea coast, was regu- larly found affected by the flagellate. Supplied with the food diatom O. aurita the dinoflagellate could be maintained successfully in clonal culture. The vegetative lite cycle was studied, mainly by light microscopy on live material, with special regard to the mode of food uptake. Food is taken up by a so-called phagopod, emerging from the antapex of the flagellate. Only Iluid or tiny prey mate- rial could be transported through the phagopod. Larger organelles like the chloroplasts of Odontefla are not ingested and are left behind in the diatom cell. Thereafter, the detached dinoflagellate re- produces by ceil division, occasionally followed by a second division. As yet, stages of sexual repro- duction and possible formation of resting cysts could not be recognized, neither from wild material nor from laboratory cultures. Palmelloid stages (sometimes with a delicate wall) occurring in ageing cultures may at least partly function as temporary resting stages. The winter species G.

PhD. Thesis, composite in English. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 110 pp, shortened version 30 pp. Annotation Since the human inclination to estimate and trace natural diversity, usable species definitions as well as taxonomical systems are required. As a consequence, the first proposed classification schemes assigned the filamentous and parenchymatous taxa to the green algal order Chaetophorales sensu Wille. The introduction of ultrastructural and molecular methods provided novel insight into algal evolution and generated taxonomic revisions based on phylogenetic inference. However, until now, the number of molecular phylogenetic studies focusing on the Chaetophorales s.s. is surprisingly low. To enhance knowledge about phylogenetic
