SETAC-Meeting-Program-V2.Pdf BUZZING WITH SCIENCE Cross-Pollination for Environmental Progress MEETING PROGRAM SETAC North America 36 th Annual Meeting 1–5 November 2015 | Salt Lake City, UT, USA Welcome to SETAC Salt Lake City The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America welcomes you to its 36th annual meeting at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah! So much has changed in Salt Lake City since we were here in 2002. The city is now home to an arts district, a burgeoning microbrewery industry and a music scene. The Salt Palace itself has been significantly updated with more than 6,000 solar panels installed on the roof in 2012, and in 2006, the building was awarded the US Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification. The city has expanded its light rail system (TRAX) to connect the airport, down- town, universities and nearby towns, and right across the street from the Salt Palace is the new City Creek Center mall. Our meeting theme, “Buzzing with Science: Cross-Pollination for Environmental Progress,” plays on Utah’s nickname, “the Beehive State,” and highlights SETAC’s interest in pollinator health research and advances our strategy for solving environmental problems through cross-disciplinary collaborations. Our technical program reflects the theme through robust, diverse and environmentally relevant topics. On Sunday, choose from ten professional training courses for both personal and technical growth such as “Leadership 101: Evaluate your Behavior, Strengths, and Challenges and Build Leadership Capacity” and “Pesticide Risk Assessment for Pollinators,” or join an interactive game for environmental education. Also on Sunday, plenary speaker Lynn de Freitas with Friends of Great Salt Lake will familiarize us with the ecosystem and economy of the city’s namesake, the Great Salt Lake. Jim Cane with the US Department of Agriculture will touch on our meeting theme on Monday with a talk about pollinators. On Tuesday, David Montgomery with the University of Washington explores our relationship with and reliance on microbes. And on Wednesday, SETAC’s own Elaine Dorward-King with the Newmont Mining Corporation will dig into mining and sustainability. The week’s scientific presentations run Monday through Thursday and are organized in 96 platform sessions and four all-day poster sessions. Special symposia topics include pollinators and agrochemicals, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, effective science communication and outreach, and a look back at 20 years of metals science contributions by the Ecotoxicity Technical Advisory Panel. The North America Horizon Scanning Workshop will take place on Wednesday and Thursday to analyze feedback on priority research areas identified in the Global Horizon Scanning surveys. The grand finale is the Closing Ceremony on Thursday afternoon, which will include highlights from technical and social activities and previews of upcoming SETAC meetings in Nantes, France, Singapore, and the 7th World Congress/SETAC North America 37th Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. And, of course, a drawing for a Hobie kayak and a bicycle from Salem Cycle, but you must be present to win! If you need a little break to make more room in your brain for science, take advantage of the social program. Activities include trips to the Great Salt Lake, Park City, Wendover, the Utah Olympic Oval and sites within Salt Lake City. Explore some interesting local spots on your own like the Leonardo (as in Da Vinci), which is the city’s public library featuring an art gallery, a rooftop garden and beehives, the State Capitol and Temple Square, just to name a few. Stretch your legs at the Melissa Schultz Memorial 5K Fun Run on Tuesday in Liberty Park. And be ready for a musical fight at Keys on Main, a dueling piano bar and host of the Tuesday Night Social. Be sure to support SETAC student activities by bidding on Silent Auction items and see which SETAC group – Board of Directors, Program Committee or Advisory Groups – brings in the most money to win this friendly competition to support student activities. Last year’s highly successful “Jail-and-Bail” returns to raise money for the North Amercia Endowment Fund. Put your mentor, academic advisor or, dare I suggest, your president behind bars for a good cause. SETAC is partnering with Friends of Great Salt Lake and local area schools for this year’s Make-a- Difference Service Project, sponsored by Ramboll ENVIRON. The service project will include a Great Salt Lake Area cleanup. If you have extra time before or after the meeting, Utah is also home to amaz- ing scenery and hiking at five National Parks. This event and outstanding member programming would not be possible without generous contributions of our many meeting supporters, exhibitors and advertisers; SETAC Global Partners and Affiliates; and SETAC North America Sustaining and Affiliate Members. We also recognize and are grateful for the superhuman efforts of the SETAC Pensacola staff with tremendous support from their SETAC Europe counterparts for making this meeting come together and run smoothly. And finally, on Area Tours ................................................7 behalf of the SETAC North America Board of Directors, the Salt Lake City Program Committee and SETAC staff, a big thanks to you, the 2015 Award Winners ...............................9 SETAC membership, for your contributions of scientific knowledge, career mentoring, time and participation in this, our 36th annual Student Activities ..................................13 meeting.

We are pleased to join you for an event that promises to be “Buzzing with Science.” The science will buzz at presentations, around posters, in advisory group meetings and while planning activities for our journals, workshops and the upcoming 2016 World Congress in Orlando. The networking opportunities at SETAC’s formal and informal social gatherings will be held with Salt Lake City’s beautiful cityscape as a backdrop. The annual meeting is also a time to refl ect on who we are and where we are headed as a professional society. SETAC was estab- lished in 1980 with a few hundred members in North America and has since grown into a truly global organization, now boasting 6,000 members from more than 100 countries. Of the fi ve geographic units – North America, Europe, Asia/Pacifi c, Latin America and Africa – SETAC North America (SNA) is the largest with about 3,000 members. SNA refl ects the multi-sector nature of SETAC with 41 percent of members from academia, 33 percent from business and 19 percent from government. Importantly, SNA includes more than 700 members who are either students or recent graduates. SETAC values and focuses on students and professional development because students are critically important to the future of our society. SNA eff orts are visible through the activities of the SETAC North American Student Advisory Council (NASAC), popular mentoring programs, poster, presentation and travel awards, and other opportunities. The Young Environmental Scientist (YES) meeting, a meeting by students for students, originated in SETAC Europe and is going global with the next meeting being held in Gainesville, Florida, in 2016. Researchers at all levels of their career are encouraged to join one or more Advisory Groups, which provide an opportunity to discuss various scientifi c issues of interest. Advisory Groups are open to all, not just “experts” in the area, so please take advantage. And, if you are interested in regional activities, use the meeting to seek out your local SETAC chapter. The grassroots nature of SETAC places the future of our science programming in your hands. As the society continues to grow and as environmental issues and challenges continue to emerge, there is a lot to dive into. Please introduce yourself to us during the course of the meeting. Feel free to ask us any question about SETAC, and explore how you can use our society to help you achieve your professional goals.

It is easy to rear in laboratory conditions with embryos available year- round and amenable to numerous kinds of embryological and functional genetic manipulations. However, beyond these developmental and genetic analyses, research on the architecture of its nervous system is fragmentary.

  • Myogenesis of Malacostraca – the “Egg-Nauplius” Concept Revisited Günther Joseph Jirikowski1*, Stefan Richter1 and Carsten Wolff2
    Jirikowski et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:76 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/10/1/76 RESEARCH Open Access Myogenesis of Malacostraca – the “egg-nauplius” concept revisited Günther Joseph Jirikowski1*, Stefan Richter1 and Carsten Wolff2 Abstract Background: Malacostracan evolutionary history has seen multiple transformations of ontogenetic mode. For example direct development in connection with extensive brood care and development involving planktotrophic nauplius larvae, as well as intermediate forms are found throughout this taxon. This makes the Malacostraca a promising group for study of evolutionary morphological diversification and the role of heterochrony therein. One candidate heterochronic phenomenon is represented by the concept of the ‘egg-nauplius’, in which the nauplius larva, considered plesiomorphic to all Crustacea, is recapitulated as an embryonic stage. Results: Here we present a comparative investigation of embryonic muscle differentiation in four representatives of Malacostraca: Gonodactylaceus falcatus (Stomatopoda), Neocaridina heteropoda (Decapoda), Neomysis integer (Mysida) and Parhyale hawaiensis (Amphipoda). We describe the patterns of muscle precursors in different embryonic stages to reconstruct the sequence of muscle development, until hatching of the larva or juvenile. Comparison of the developmental sequences between species reveals extensive heterochronic and heteromorphic variation. Clear anticipation of muscle differentiation in the nauplius segments, but also early formation of longitudinal trunk musculature independently of the teloblastic proliferation zone, are found to be characteristic to stomatopods and decapods, all of which share an egg-nauplius stage. Conclusions: Our study provides a strong indication that the concept of nauplius recapitulation in Malacostraca is incomplete, because sequences of muscle tissue differentiation deviate from the chronological patterns observed in the ectoderm, on which the egg-nauplius is based.

While the genome of the branchiopod Daphnia pulex is now available, no other large-scale crustacean genomic resources are available for comparison. In particular, genomic resources are lacking for the most tractable laboratory model of crustacean development, the amphipod Parhyale hawaiensis. Insight into shared and divergent characters of crustacean genomes will facilitate interpretation of future developmental, biomedical, and ecological research using crustacean models. Results: To generate a transcriptome enriched for maternally provided and zygotically transcribed developmental genes, we created cDNA from ovaries and embryos of P. hawaiensis. Using 454 pyrosequencing, we sequenced over 1.1 billion bases of this cDNA, and assembled them de novo to create, to our knowledge, the second largest crustacean genomic resource to date. We found an unusually high proportion of C2H2 zinc finger-containing transcripts, as has also been reported for the genome of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. Consistent with previous reports, we detected trans-spliced transcripts, but found that they did not noticeably impact transcriptome assembly.

They play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and are well established sentinel species in ecotoxicology. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of a male individual and a female individual for seven diferent taxonomic groups belonging to the two genera Gammarus and Echinogammarus: Gammarus fossarum A, G. fossarum B, G. fossarum C, Gammarus wautieri, Gammarus pulex, Echinogammarus berilloni, and Echinogammarus marinus. These taxa were chosen to explore the molecular diversity of transcribed genes of genotyped individuals from these groups. Transcriptomes were de novo assembled and annotated. High-quality assembly was confrmed by BUSCO comparison against the Arthropod dataset. The 14 RNA-Seq-derived protein sequence databases proposed here will be a signifcant resource for proteogenomics studies of these ecotoxicologically relevant non-model organisms. These transcriptomes represent reliable reference sequences for whole-transcriptome and proteome studies on other gammarids, for primer design to clone specifc genes or monitor their specifc expression, and for analyses of molecular diferences between gammarid species. Background & Summary Gammarid amphipods are animals that typically measure a few millimetres long and present in a wide range of aquatic habitats1.

  • Knockout of Crustacean Leg Patterning Genes Suggests That Insect Wings and Body Walls Evolved from Ancient Leg Segments
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-020-01349-0 Knockout of crustacean leg patterning genes suggests that insect wings and body walls evolved from ancient leg segments Heather S. Bruce 1,2 ✉ and Nipam H. Patel 2,3 The origin of insect wings has long been debated. Central to this debate is whether wings are a novel structure on the body wall resulting from gene co-option, or evolved from an exite (outgrowth; for example, a gill) on the leg of an ancestral crusta- cean. Here, we report the phenotypes for the knockout of five leg patterning genes in the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis and compare these with their previously published phenotypes in Drosophila and other insects. This leads to an alignment of insect and crustacean legs that suggests that two leg segments that were present in the common ancestor of insects and crustaceans were incorporated into the insect body wall, moving the proximal exite of the leg dorsally, up onto the back, to later form insect wings. Our results suggest that insect wings are not novel structures, but instead evolved from existing, ancestral structures. he origin of insect wings has fascinated researchers for over we note that previous comparative expression studies have not 130 years. Two competing theories have developed to explain yielded answers to how insect and crustacean leg segments cor- their emergence.

BROWNE ABSTRACT Arthropods dominate our seas, land, and air and have done so for hundreds of millions of years. Among the arthropods the crustaceans present us with an extremely rich history of morphological change, much of which is still represented among extant forms (morphological disparity among the crustaceans is much higher than in any other group of arthropods). With regard to the Crustacea, several characteristics of the amphipod crustacean embryo make it particularly well suited to embryological manipulations. These include early holoblastic (complete) cleavage coupled with early cell division asymmetries that facilitate microinjection. The high diversity of crustacean taxa near Carrie Bow Cay presents a unique opportunity to extend previous findings in laboratory strains of the amphipod Parhyale hawaiensis. In addition, the exploration of standing genetic variation in natural populations may yield important clues in the search for mechanisms by which genes influence organismal development and sculpt morphology through time. The principal collection sites are at south Twin Cays (Twin Bays, Hidden Creek), Manatee Cay (Pelican Cays), and outside the barrier reef near Carrie Bow Cay.
