SUMMARY:Insights Into the Red Algae and Eukaryotic Evolution From the Genome of Porphyra Umbilicalis
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susan Brawley\nProfessor\nSchool of Marine Sciences\nUniversity of Maine \n  \nFossil evidence shows that red algae (Rhodophyta) are one of the most ancient multicellular lineages (1.6 billion years old). Despite their ecological\, evolutionary\, and commercial importance\, few red algal nuclear genomes have been sequenced. This seminar presents results from the recently completed Porphyra umbilicalis (“laver”) sequencing project and shows why the imprint of red algal metabolism on biogeochemical cycling\, aquatic food webs\, and human health is so strong. Traits encoded in the nuclear genome offer a potential explanation for why red algae are small compared to other multicellular organisms\, and to the high nutritional value of laver as human food. \nPolycom availability with Darling Marine Center\, Gulf of Maine Research Institute\, and Bigelow Laboratories \nHost: Rebecca Van Beneden (rebeccav@maine.edu)

SUMMARY:Spatial Dimensions of the Transmission of Vector-Borne Pathogens: Challenges and Prospects
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Marilyn O’Hara Ruiz\nUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \nDr. O’Hara Ruiz is a health geographer who applies techniques and concepts from spatial science to understanding the epidemiology and ecology of infectious diseases. Her research interests include how processes measured at different temporal and spatial scales affect the behavior of ecological systems; spatial and contextual aspects of health and illness from a One Health perspective; development of spatial visualizations\, models and methods to develop risk maps and early warning systems for vectorborne disease transmission; and the effect of urban and regional policy decisions and structures on patterns of the built environment\, vegetation and habitat potential\, and their relationship with public health outcomes. \nFor information : Dr. Allie Gardner\, allison.gardner@maine.edu\, 1-3115.

SUMMARY:Structural Dynamics of Adult Peripheral Neurons
DESCRIPTION:Ben Harrison\, Ph.D.\nUniversity of New England \nDr. Harrison has a Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular Genetics from the University of Wales and a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He received postdoctoral training in Neuroscience and Bioinformatics with Jeff Petruska and Eric Rouchka at the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center\, University of Louisville. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that control neuron growth in the adult/developed nervous system. As a new faculty member\, he is currently building a lab at the University of New England to integrate genomic techniques and molecular biology with bioinformatics approaches. Through modification of neuron morphology\, his lab’s studies are geared to develop novel therapeutics for diverse clinical applications such as pain management and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. \nFor information : Dr. Kristy Townsend\, kristy.townsend@maine.edu\, 1-2541.\nSponsored by the School of Biology & Ecology as part of the 2017 Fall Seminar Series

SUMMARY:The role of host trait variation in parasite diversification:  Testing model predictions for the goldenrod-insect community
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chandra Moffat\nAgriculture and Agri-Food Canada \n\n\nDr. Chandra Moffat’s research focuses on the evolutionary ecology of plant-herbivore interactions. She uses combination of field ecology\, experiments\, modelling and molecular biology to test hypotheses regarding the structuring of species interactions in both basic and applied systems. Chandra is particularly interested in the cause and consequences of local adaptation and novel species interactions. In her talk\, Chandra will discuss her PhD research on the role host plant trait variation may play in driving divergence of herbivorous insects. Her work suggests that adaptation to within-niche variation may facilitate colonization of novel niches and play a role in driving ecological speciation.\n\n\nFor information : Dr. Andrei Alyokhin\, alyokhin@maine.edu\, 1-2551\nSponsored by the School of Biology & Ecology as part of the 2017 Fall Seminar Series
