In concert with the previous meetings in the Czech Republic, Belgium, France, Portugal, and Austria, this year‘s Swedish venue reflects the European dimension of the society. It is wonderful to join our colle- agues in Uppsala for several days of scientific exchange. With close to 500 participants, we are looking forward to a rich meeting. The key note lectures, symposia, contributed sessions, and posters cover a representative variety of current themes in the developmental evolution of plants and animals. It is very rewarding to see that the society is able to keep to its declared goal of promoting EvoDevo in a comprehensive organismal sense. Besides the genetic, genomic, and organ system contributions, there will be sessions on the genotype-phenotype relation, life cycle evolution, repro- ductive medicine, domestication, and other subjects not usually found in similar meetings. With the quantitative, bioinformatic, and philosophical approaches also present, the theoretical content of the EvoDevo enterprise will be kept in focus. This way the EED meetings provide a valuable inter- face between developmental and evolutionary biology. As with previous conferences, two associated meetings, the Tribolium satel- lite meeting and the Amphioxus satellite meeting, will be held a day prior to our conference. Welcome to the participants of these meetings who stay on to particpate in and enrich the EED conference. The EED is grateful to all sponsors who have provided support for symposia and other activities, in particular the Company of Biologists and Nature Ecology and Evolution, and to the conference management team of the University of Uppsala for their professional organization. We would also like to thank the members of several committees who assisted in the planning stages, and we are most grateful to the local organizing team headed by Graham Budd for the excellent preparation of the meeting. Ha det så trevligt i Uppsala! Gerd B. Müller President EED 5 EURO EVO DEVO 26–29 July 2016 | Uppsala, Sweden Welcome from the local committee A warm welcome to „ungdomens stad“ (the „city of youth“): home to Linnaeus, Hörstadius, Jägersten and the North‘s oldest university (founded 1477).

Oral Presentations Speakers are asked to transfer their presentation (Powerpoint or pdf) from a USB stick onto the Macs/PCs in the lecture rooms before their session starts: between 8.30 and 8.55 for the morning sessions, or during the breaks immediately preceding their session. Speakers may use their own laptop computer if they prefer. In this case, they should also come to the lecture room before the start of their session, in order to check whether the projection is working. It is best to have a copy of your presentation on a USB stick, in case of a problem. We kindly ask chairs to be present 15 minutes prior to the start of their session. The maximum duration of symposia talks is 25 minutes (including 5 minutes for questions) and 15 minutes for contributed talks (including 3 minutes for questions). We ask speakers to keep closely to the time schedule and session chairs to be very strict in not allowing speakers to go over the allotted times. Poster Presentations The poster boards are suitable for posters of the A0 format (1.2 m height x 1.0 m width). All posters can remain posted throughout the meeting. Presenters should put up their posters on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Please be present at your poster during the poster sessions on Wednesday (even numbers) and Thursday (odd numbers). Materials for the fixing of the posters will be available. Posters should be removed before the end of the meeting, i.e., at the latest during the coffee break on Friday afternoon. 8 Congress Information Poster Prize Competition Doctoral or Master’s students presenting a first-author poster will take part in the poster com- petition if they indicated their participation upon submission of their abstract. The Student Poster Competition at EED-2016 is generously sponsored by Elsevier, New Phyto- logist and Springer. We are offering two-equal first prizes of iPad-mini tablet computers, and two equal-second prizes of 150 euros (each) of Springer book vouchers.These prizes will be awarded to the four best posters, as decided by a panel of judges, on any evo-devo subject. Posters will be judged during the two poster sessions, so presenting authors should make sure they are available to speak informally about their work during their allotted session, on either the Wednesday or Thursday evening.

These new viruses are poorly characterized and new approaches are needed predict the host species these viruses pose a risk to. The rhabdoviruses are a diverse family of RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of humans, animals, and plants. We have discovered thirty-two new rhabdoviruses through a combination of our own RNA sequencing of insects and searching public sequence databases. Combining these with previously known sequences we reconstructed the phylogeny of 195 rhabdovirus by guest on December 14, 2015 sequences, and produced the most in depth analysis of the family to date. In most cases we know nothing about the biology of the viruses beyond the host they were identified from, but our dataset provides a powerful phylogenetic approach to predict which are vector-borne viruses and which are specific to vertebrates or arthropods.

    S. M. El Naggar & N. Sawady Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic significance in Yemen Abstract El Naggar, S. M. & Sawady N.: Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic signifi- cance in Yemen. — Fl. Medit. 18: 431-439. 2008. — ISSN 1120-4052. The pollen morphology of 20 species of Malvaceae growing in Yemen was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied taxa belong to 9 genera and three different tribes. These taxa are: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus trionum, H. micranthus, H. deflersii, H. palmatus, H. vitifolius, H. rosa-sinensis, H. ovalifolius, Gossypium hirsutum, Thespesia populnea (L.) Solander ex Correa and Senra incana (Cav.) DC. (Hibiscieae); Malva parviflora and Alcea rosea (Malveae); Abutilon fruticosum, A. figarianum, A. bidentatum, A. pannosum, Sida acuta, S. alba and S. ovata (Abutileae). Pollen shape, size, aperture, exine structure and sculpturing as well as the spine characters proved that they are of high taxonom- ic value. Pollen characters with some other morphological characters are discussed in the light of the recent classification of the family in Yemen. Key words: Malvaceae, Morphology, Yemen. Introduction Malvaceae Juss. (s. str.) is a large family of herbs, shrubs and trees; comprising about 110 genera and 2000 species. It is a globally distributed family with primary concentrations of genera in the tropical and subtropical regions (Hutchinson 1967; Fryxell 1975, 1988 & 1998; Heywood 1993; La Duke & Doeby 1995; Mabberley 1997). Due to the high economic value of many taxa of Malvaceae (Gossypium, Hibiscus, Abelmoschus and Malva), several studies of different perspective have been carried out, such as those are: Edlin (1935), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Krebs (1994a, 1994b), Ray (1995 & 1998), Hosni and Araffa (1999), El Naggar (1996, 2001 & 2004), Pefell & al.

    Wildflower Hot Spots of the Eastern Sierra Welcome to the Eastern Sierra… THE EASTERN SIERRA truly is a land of superlatives: Elevations you will visit using this guide range from the oldest living trees on the planet (bristlecone pines); 3,300 feet (1,005 meters) at Fossil Falls to 10,200 feet the highest peak in the contiguous United States (Mt. (3,100 meters) at the Mosquito Flat trailhead in Rock Whitney); the youngest mountain range in North Creek. Many of the peaks around you soar to more than America (Mono Craters); one of the oldest lakes in 13,000 feet, and a side trip into Death Valley will plunge North America (Mono Lake). All of these and more are you down to below sea level at Badwater. within an easy day’s drive of each other. The spectacular landscapes of this area draw a worldwide audience, and with good reason. The elevation range combined with the diverse geologic environment results in a wide variety of vegetation communities. Three major biotic provinces—the Mojave Geology field classes often visit the area for the Desert, Great Basin, and Sierra Nevada—all converge in relatively easy access to a wide variety of geologic this area. Dozens of plant communities and thousands formations and rock types. Volcanic craters, basalt flows, of plant species occur here, many of them unique to layers of ash and pumice, carbonate formations, and the Eastern Sierra.

  • A New Lower Devonian Arthrodire (Placodermi) from the NW Siberian Platform
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2013, 62, 3, 131–138 doi: 10.3176/earth.2013.11 A new Lower Devonian arthrodire (Placodermi) from the NW Siberian Platform Elga Mark-Kurik Institute of Geology at Tallinn University of Technology, Ehitajate tee 5, 19086 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] Received 24 August 2012, accepted 5 November 2012 Abstract. A new genus and species of arthrodires, Eukaia elongata (Actinolepidoidei, Placodermi), is described from the Lower Devonian, ?Pragian of the Turukhansk region, NW Siberian Platform. A single specimen of the fish, a skull roof, comes probably from the lower part of the Razvedochnyj Formation. The occurrence of an actinolepidoid arthrodire in the Early Devonian of this area of Siberia is unexpected. Eukaia shows some distant relationship with the genus Actinolepis, but several features indicate similarity to representatives of other arthrodires. Key words: actinolepidoid arthrodire, placoderm, Lower Devonian, ?Pragian, NW Siberian Platform. INTRODUCTION (Fig. 1). The first two units are Lochkovian in age, the lower part of the Razvedochnyj Fm belongs to the Pragian The northwestern part of the Siberian Platform in the and the upper part of the Razvedochnyj Fm plus the lower Russian Arctic is well known for rich and amphiaspidid- part of the Mantura Fm to the Emsian (Matukhin 1995). dominated Early Devonian fish faunas. One of the The Zub Fm (up to 150 m thick) consists of carbonaceous- important areas where these faunas have been discovered argillaceous and sulphate rocks. Invertebrates and fossil is the near-Yenisej zone of the Tunguska syneclise fishes, e.g. a cyathaspidid Steinaspis, are comparatively (Krylova et al.
