Insights Into the Red Algae and Eukaryotic Evolution From the Genome of Porphyra Umbilicalis

354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall, Orono, ME, United States

Dr. Susan Brawley Professor School of Marine Sciences University of Maine   Fossil 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 […]

Arsenic Compounds in the Marine and Terrestrial Environment: From Analytical Considerations to Implications for Human Health.

203 Hitchner Hall Orono, ME, United States

The School of Marine Sciences and Department and Molecular and Biomedical Sciences present Dr. Brian Jackson Dartmouth University Arsenic is a non-essential element and, at elevated concentrations, the inorganic forms of arsenic are toxic to life. However, arsenic also has a rich biochemistry and approaching 100 organo-arsenic compounds, including arseno-sugars and arseno-lipids, have been identified […]

Sustainability Success Through Community Conservation.

107 Norman Smith Hall orono, ME, United States

The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Anthony Charles St. Mary’s University Place-based communities the world over face local environmental threats. In response, many communities are acting as stewards of their local environments and resources, undertaking conservation initiatives that help secure local livelihoods, and contribute to larger-scale environmental improvement. However, the conservation successes of local […]

Decoding the lives of Fishes: In Time & Space

354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall, Orono, ME, United States

The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Cynthia Jones Old Dominion University Since the 1800s, scientists noted that the hard parts of temperate water fish (scales or otoliths) recorded annular marks that could be used to study demography, much like taking a census for humans. Consequently, ecologists could analyze the age structure to determine birth […]

Life on Planet Ocean -0 From DNA to #OceanOptimism.

354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall, Orono, ME, United States

The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Nancy Knowlton, Smithsonian Institute Most of the planet is ocean. For centuries its vastness stood in the way of scientific understanding and humancaused damage, but that has now changed. Marine scientists today can take advantage of technologies to understand life in the ocean in ways that were previously […]

How I got to eDNA.

354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall, Orono, ME, United States

The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. David Emerson Bigelow Laboratories The broad scale use of molecular-based methods to monitor ecosystem processes is opening new insights into marine ecosystem communities and processes and how we study them. In simplest terms, the basis for these approaches focuses on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) collected directly […]
