Characterization Of Unusual Gymnamoebae Isolated From The Marine Environment, Margaret Wacera Mbugua

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Amoebae are important heterotrophic protists (protozoa) and this study focuses on three unusual forms from the marine environment. Amoebae are ubiquitous and play an important role as consumers in microbial communities. A common coastal ctenophore (Mnemiopsis sp.) is known to harbor an undescribed naked amoeba on the comb plate surface. The nature of the symbiotic association is unknown although electron microscopy suggests these micrograzers are degrading comb plates (Moss et al., 2001). A second amoeba isolate from mangrove waters is new to science by virtue of its distinctive trophic form that does not conform to any described species. …

Comparative Phylogeography Of Two Seastars And Their Ectosymbionts Within The Coral Triangle, Eric D. Crandall, Mary Jones, Martha Munoz, Bolanle Akinronbi, Mark Erdmann, Paul Barber

School of Natural Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Repeated exposure and flooding of the Sunda and Sahul shelves during Pleistocene sea level fluctuations is thought to have contributed to the isolation and diversification of sea basin populations within the Coral Triangle. This hypothesis has been tested in numerous phylogeographic studies, recovering an assortment of genetic patterns that the authors have generally attributed to differences in larval dispersal capability or adult habitat specificity. This study compares phylogeographic patterns from mitochondrial COI sequences among two co-distributed seastars that differ in their adult habitat and dispersal ability, and two seastar ectosymbionts that differ in their degree of host specificity. Of these, …

Sustainable Watersheds, Jonathan Z. Cannon

Michigan Law Review First Impressions

By any interpretation of sustainability, additional public and private investment should be made to protect and restore watersheds and their incorporated landscapes as sources of ecosystem services. This investment may require reducing current consumption but is justified because it will enhance the well being of the present generation and also enable future generations to enjoy a quality of life equal to our own.

Working Trees For Livestock: Silvopasture In The Southeast

Working Trees (USDA-NAC)

Working trees for livestock: Silvopasture in the Southeast

Working trees are trees used in conservation and production systems on farms and ranches. They have a job to do, whether it's increasing income, protecting natural resources, or making our lives a little more enjoyable.

Silvopasture applies where livestock uses overlap with forest production.

Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis As A Tool To Determine Batch Similarity Of Probiotic Cultures Of Porcine Cecal Bacteria, Michael Hume, Charles M. Scanlan, Roger B. Harvey, Kathleen Andrews, James D. Snodgrass, Armen Nalian, Alexandra Martynova-Van Kley, David Nisbet

Faculty Publications

A continuous-flow porcine cecal bacterial culture has been used experimentally as treatment against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in weanling pigs. Periodically, the cultures must be started from frozen stock. Our results indicate that denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis can be applied as an indirect indication of culture similarity for each new batch generated from frozen stock.

Sexual Selection And Alternative Reproductive Tactics In Cyprinodon Elegans, Jennifer M. Gumm

Faculty Publications

In systems with alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs), males have discrete behaviors and morphologies that allow them to optimize their reproductive success in relation to others in the population. Males with different phenotypes directly compete with one another for mates, providing unique opportunities for studying social interactions within a species. Using the Comanche Springs pupfish, Cyprinodonelegans, a species with three alternative reproductive tactics, I examine how male behaviors and social interactions influence the reproductive success of each tactic.

Previous studies suggest that large territorial males have high reproductive success, while satellite males and female mimics must intrude into territories in order …

The Ecology Of Fear: Colonization And Oviposition In Aquatic Systems [Poster], Leeanna Pletcher, Johanna Kraus, James R. Vonesh

Biology Presentations

Introduction

Amphibians and aquatic invertebrates have complex life histories that link aquatic and terrestrial food webs. It has been suggested that amphibian reproduction is an important source of carbon to some aquatic systems. Movement of organisms across the aquatic-terrestrial habitat boundary can represent important subsidies to the receiving habitat. Subsidies are organisms, nutrients, or detritus that cross habitat boundaries and are consumed, and these allochthonous inputs can affect food web structure. Predators can alter subsidies by consuming organisms that would otherwise move across habitat boundaries. Predator induced shifts in habitat selection are a well known non-lethal effect in aquatic systems. …

Mitochondria In Energy-Limited States: Mechanisms That Blunt The Signaling Of Cell Death, Steven C. Hand, Michael A. Menze

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Cellular conditions experienced during energy-limited states – elevated calcium, shifts in cellular adenylate status, compromised mitochondrial membrane potential – are precisely those that trigger, at least in mammals, the mitochondrion to initiate opening of the permeability transition pore, to assemble additional protein release channels, and to release pro-apoptotic factors. These proapototic factors in turn activate initiator and executer caspases. How is activation of mitochondria-based pathways for the signaling of apoptotic and necrotic cell death avoided under conditions of hypoxia, anoxia, diapause, estivation and anhydrobiosis? Functional trade-offs in environmental tolerance may have occurred in parallel with the evolution of diversified pathways …
