Phylogéographie comparée d’un système multitrophique : les parasitoïdes du genre Horismenus spp. ont-ils échappé au processus de domestication du haricot au Mexique?

Laurin-Lemay, Simon 08 1900 (has links)
Cette étude vise à comparer l’histoire évolutive des parasitoïdes du genre Horismenus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) à celle de leurs hôtes bruches (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) et plante hôte (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivée dans le contexte d’agriculture traditionnelle, au sein de son centre de domestication Mésoaméricain. Nous avons analysé la structure génétique de 23 populations de quatre espèces de parasitoïdes au Mexique, en utilisant un fragment du gène mitochondrial COI afin de les comparer aux structures précédemment publiées des hôtes bruches et du haricot commun. Nous avons prédit que les structures génétiques des populations d’hôtes (bruches et plante) et de parasitoïdes seraient similaires puisque également influencées par la migration entremise par l’humain (HMM) étant donnée que les parasitoïdes se développent telles que les bruches à l’intérieur des haricots. Compte tenu des stratégies de manipulation reproductive utilisées par l’alpha-protéobactérie endosymbionte Wolbachia spp. pour assurer sa transmission, la structure génétique des populations de parasitoïdes inférée à partir du génome mitochondrial devrait être altérée conséquemment à la transmission conjointe des mitochondries et des bactéries lors de la propagation de l’infection dans les populations de parasitoïdes. Les populations du parasitoïde H. missouriensis sont infectées par Wolbachia spp. Tel que prédit, ces populations ne sont pas différenciées (FST = 0,06), ce qui nous empêche d’inférer sur une histoire évolutive parallèle. Contrairement aux bruches, Acanthoscelides obtectus et A. ovelatus, la HMM n'est pas un processus contemporain qui influence la structure génétique des populations du parasitoïde H. depressus, étant donné la forte différenciation (FST = 0,34) qui existe entre ses populations. La structure génétique observée chez H. depressus est similaire à celle de sa plante hôte (i.e. dispersion aléatoire historique à partir d'un pool génique ancestral très diversifié) et est probablement le résultat d’un flux génique important en provenance des populations de parasitoïdes associées aux haricots spontanées à proximité des champs cultivés. L’étude de l’histoire évolutive intégrant plusieurs niveaux trophiques s’est avérée fructueuse dans la détection des différentes réponses évolutives entre les membres du module trophique face aux interactions humaines et parasitaires, et montre la pertinence d’analyser les systèmes écologiques dans leur ensemble. / This study aims to compare the evolutionary history of Horismenus parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) to that of their bruchid beetle hosts (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) and their domesticated host plant (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the context of traditional agriculture within their Mesoamerican center of domestication. We analyzed the genetic structure of 23 populations of four Horismenus species in Mexico using COI mitochondrial gene fragments and compared the structures to previously published data on bean plant and beetle hosts. We predicted that because parasitoids complete their development within their beetle hosts, within the bean, the genetic structure of both the host and the parasitoid would be similar and equally influenced by human-mediated migration (HMM). Furthermore, because of reproductive manipulation strategies often used by the alpha-proteobacteria endosymbionte Wolbachia spp. to ensure its transmission, the genetic structure of parasitoid populations inferred from mitochondrial genome would be bias consequently to the conjoint transmission of mitochondria and the bacteria according to propagation of the infection within parasitoids populations. The populations of H. missouriensis parasitoids are infected by Wolbachia spp. As predicted, these populations are not differentiated (FST = 0.06) which prevents us to infer on a parallel evolutionary history. Unlike their bruchids hosts, Acanthoscelides obtectus and A. ovelatus, the HMM is not a contemporary process influencing H. depressus population genetic structure according to the strong populations differentiation (FST = 0.34). The genetic structure observed within H. depressus populations is similar to that of its host plant (i.e. historical random dispersal from a highly diversified ancestral gene pool) and is probably the result of extensive gene flow from parasitoids associated with wild beans populations adjacent to crop fields. The study of evolutionary history integrating multitrophic levels has proved to be fruitful in detecting different evolutionary responses among members of the trophic module face to human and parasite interactions, but also points out the pertinence of analyzing ecological systems as a whole.

Etude de la reproduction, de l'alimentation et de la composition en acides gras du picot rayé Siganus lineatus. Application à la domestication d'une nouvelle espèce tropicale pour la piscuculture marine (Nouvelle-Calédonie; Aqualagon SARL) / Study of the reproduction, diet and fatty acids compostion of the golden-lined rabbitfish Siganus lineatus. Application to the domestication of new species for tropical marine aquaculture

Moleana, Thibaud 29 April 2016 (has links)
Le picot rayé Siganus lineatus dispose de nombreux atouts pour son aquaculture, motivant la société Aqualagon à entreprendre sa domestication en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Aujourd’hui, elle cherche à pérenniser sa production en supprimant les variabilités de l’élevage larvaire par une meilleure gestion de ses géniteurs, tout en faisant face à un manque de connaissance sur ce poisson. L’objectif de cette thèse a alors été d’acquérir des informations précises sur la biologie de S. lineatus en (1) déterminant les principaux paramètres régulant sa reproduction et (2) les caractéristiques trophiques selon son cycle de vie dans le contexte environnementale de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. / The golden-lined rabbitfish Siganus lineatus has many assets for its aquaculture, motivating the company Aqualagon to undertake domestication in New Caledonia. Today, Aqualagon seeks to perpetuate its production by eliminating the larval rearing variabilities through a better broodstock management, while facing a lack knowledge on this fish. The purpose of this thesis was then to acquire accurate information on the biology of S. lineatus by (1) determining the main parameters regulating its reproduction and (2) the trophic characteristics of its life cycle according to the environmental context of New Caledonia.

Caractérisation de l'adaptation comportementale des téléostéens en élevage : plasticité et effets de la domestication / Characterization of behavioural adaptation in farming teleosts : plasticity and domestication effects

Benhaïm, David 17 November 2011 (has links)
Ce travail vise une meilleure compréhension de l’adaptation aux conditions d’élevage par une approche comportementale basée sur la comparaison de diverses populations de téléostéens pour trois espèces, l’une marine, le bar (Dicentrarchus labrax), les deux autres d’eau douce, l’omble chevalier (Salvelinus alpinus) et la truite commune (Salmo trutta). La thèse s’articule en deux parties qui ont permis : 1) de tester des facteurs biotiques et abiotiques sélectionnés en fonction de leur importance en élevage du bar et de l’omble chevalier. 2) de caractériser les effets de la domestication sur le comportement par le biais d’une comparaison entre des bars ou des truites sauvages et domestiqués à des âges différents et dans des contextes variables (challenges, labyrinthe). Dans la première partie, les travaux réalisés sur l’omble chevalier ont montré que la présence d’un refuge artificiel durant la phase de nutrition endogène induisait une forte diminution de la mobilité accompagnée de meilleures performances de croissance et d’une survie plus importante, que la taille de l’œuf et l’environnement social jouaient un rôle important sur le comportement alimentaire et la mobilité des juvéniles dans les semaines qui suivent la première nutrition exogène. Les travaux réalisés sur le bar ont montré qu’un aliment végétal ne modifiait pas les capacités d’apprentissage en condition d’auto-alimentation ni leurs capacités cognitives en situation de test en labyrinthe, mais qu’il semble réduire l’activité de nage et la libération à court terme du cortisol. Une autre expérience a montré que la pratique du tri et l’environnement social qui en résulte, en conditions d’auto-alimentation, a peu d’influence sur la demande, le rythme, le gaspillage alimentaires, la structure sociale, les performances de croissance et le statut physiologique. Une période de trois semaines de jeûne, enfin, ne modifie pas la structure sociale et les manipulateurs principaux sont les mêmes avant et après cette période, ce qui pourrait être lié à l’existence de traits de personnalité basés sur le pourcentage d’activation de la tige tactile du dispositif d’auto-alimentation. Dans la seconde partie de la thèse, l’expérience sur la truite a mis en évidence un effet de la domestication sur l’activité de nage avant et après application d’un stress lumineux, en utilisant un matériel biologique contrôlé par génotypage (vitesse angulaire plus élevée chez les individus sauvages, vitesse moyenne et distance parcourue plus importantes chez les individus domestiqués). Les expériences réalisées sur le bar ont comparé des populations sauvages capturées à l’état larvaire dans le milieu naturel à des populations standard industrielles. La première a montré l’influence combinée de l’âge et de mécanismes d’ordre ontogénique sur l’activité de nage et le taux de réponse de fuite (diminution chez les deux catégories de larve). L’impact de la domestication se traduit par des différences entre individus sauvages et domestiquées (vitesse angulaire et vigilance plus élevés chez les individus sauvages). En situation de labyrinthe, la domestication ne semble pas avoir d’influence sur le grégarisme et la cognition chez le bar, mais il existe une forte variabilité individuelle. La discrimination de la familiarité, enfin, n’a pu être mise en évidence que chez les individus domestiqués.L’approche comportementale a permis de révéler une plasticité en réponse à quelques facteurs abiotiques et abiotiques, qui constitue un véritable levier adaptatif pour les téléostéens en élevage. L’effet de la domestication sur le comportement a également été démontré ainsi que l’influence de l’âge et des mécanismes ontogéniques dont la nature reste à déterminer. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans la lignée des travaux qui vise à sélectionner les téléostéens sur leurs traits de personnalité dans l’optique d’une adaptation optimale en élevage ou dans la perspective de programmes de repeuplement. / The present work aims at a better understanding of the adaptation to farming conditions through a behavioural approach based on the comparison between wild vs. domesticated populations of three species: a marine species, sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), two freshwater species, arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta). The thesis is divided into two parts which objectives were : 1) to test the impact of biotic and abiotic factors selected based on their importance in aquaculture on sea bass and artic charr behavioural plasticity (behavioural modifications in response to environmental changes). 2) to characterize the domestication effect on behaviour through the comparison between wild vs. domesticated sea bass and brown trout at different ages and under different experimental conditions (challenges, maze).In the first part, experiments performed on arctic charr showed that an artificial shelter induced a lower mobility, better growth performances and a higher level of survival during the endogenous feeding period, that egg size and social environment play an important role on feeding behaviour and mobility during the weeks following the first exogenous feeding period. These results illustrated behavioural flexibility in response to abiotic and biotic factors. The findings could be used to improve culture performances and welfare of arctic charr. The experiments performed on sea bass showed that a plant-based diet do neither modify the learning abilities under self-feeding conditions nor the cognition under a test situation in a maze, but has an impact on swimming activity (the mean velocity decreased and the total distance travelled decreased) and on the short-term release of cortisol (plasmatic concentration lower than the control group). Another experiment showed that, under self-feeding conditions, size grading and the resulting social environment have no major influence on feed-demand, feeding rhythm, food wastage, social structure, growth performances and physiological status. At last, a three-week fasting period does not modify the social structure and high-triggering fish are exactly the same individuals before and after the fasting period. Individual’s triggering activity levels could therefore be considered as personality traits but further research is needed to verify this hypothesis.In the second part of the thesis, the experiment performed on brown trout showed an impact of domestication on swimming activity before and after a light-elicited stress, using a biological material controlled by genotyping. Angular velocity was higher in wild fish while mean velocity and total distance travelled were higher in domesticated fish. All the experiments carried out on sea bass compared wild-caught fish (from the larval stage) to domesticated fish (industrial standard). The first one showed the interplay of age and ontogeny on swimming activity and escape response rate. These variables decreased in fish from both origins. The impact of domestication was shown through differences between wild-caught and domesticated larvae (angular velocity and vigilance level higher in wild fish). They showed that domestication has no influence on gregarism, and cognition in sea bass but there was a high individual variability. The ability to discriminate familiarity was shown only in domesticated fish. The behavioural approach developed in this thesis was demonstrated to be relevant to reveal plasticity in response to a few abiotic and biotic factors among the numerous ones that remain to be investigated. Plasticity plays an important role in the adaptation of fish to culture conditions. Domestication impact on behaviour was also demonstrated as well as the interplay of age and ontogeny. This thesis followed the path and brings new insights for research programs targeting fish selection based upon personality traits in order to improve adaptation for aquaculture or restocking purposes.

Proche ou lointain : La domestication ou l’étrangéisation comme stratégie dans la traduction en suédois d’un texte écrit en Centrafrique / Close or distant : Domestication or foreignization as a strategy when translating a text written in the Central African Republic from French to Swedish

Nestor, Emelie January 2022 (has links)
This study examines the strategies used in the translation from French to Swedish of an academic text written in the Central African Republic. It focuses on the two opposing translation strategies of domestication and foreignization as described by Venuti (2017) and investigates whether Venuti’s theory about foreignization as a way of resisting racism and imperialism is applicable to translations beyond the literary field. The source text of the translation is written in a former colony, in the language of the ex-colonizer, which makes it particularly interesting in terms of cultural features and brings to the fore the need of taking aspects related to racist and imperialistic ideas into account. Based on an analysis of the translation situation, several features of the translated text are being examined with regards to translational choices connected to domestication and foreignization. The results show that even though both approaches are employed, domestication is clearly the dominating strategy, and this preference for domestication is often based on an effort to promote the content and the academic value of the source text. In other words: contrary to Venuti’s ideas, domestication rather than foreignization is used as a way of resisting racism and imperialism in this particular case. Because of the narrowness of the text material investigated, no general conclusions can be drawn from this study. Some suggestions are however made at the end about broadening the general translational research framework and blur the line between literal and non-literal translation, as proposed by Vandaele (2015), and about broadening and deepening the research on the translation of non-literary hybrid texts.

Proměna vědomostních soutěží v českých televizích / The transformation of czech TV quiz shows

Švestka, Jan January 2012 (has links)
Main task of this work is to find out the answers to the questions of the television quiz shows genre development. The work deals with foreign countries development, but the main attention is fixed to Czech republic and Czech full-area broadcasting media, which emphasise general matters. Concretely these television companies: Česká televize, Nova, Prima a Barrandov. The work emphasises the problem of formats originality. The time spread is since January 1993 to April 2012. A quiz shows development before 1993 is mentioned, but the analysis does not contain that. The analysis shows four copied quiz shows development. These examples uncover the variations of the quiz shows formats copying and domestication. They reveal the rules of the copying and domestication. They show the transformation of the quiz shows during recent years. The work tries to solve a few questions about the Czech quiz shows and their partial problems. Has the hosts behaviour changed? What about the hosts gender? Is there more men or women in the quiz shows? Is the number of recently broadcasted quiz shows higher than the number of the quiz shows, which were broadcasted nineteen years ago? What about the relation of the quiz shows production and social changes? Have the western models affected Czech quiz shows production? If so,...

A \'hipótese da retradução\' pelas modalidades tradutórias, nas traduções para a língua inglesa de A paixão segundo G.H. / The retranslation hypothesis verified by modalities of translation, in two English translations of The Passion According to G.H.

Widman, Julieta 30 September 2016 (has links)
O principal objetivo deste trabalho é verificar quantitativamente a chamada hipótese da retradução de Berman (1990), através do Método das Modalidades de Tradução (MMT), elaborado por Aubert (1977, 1998), derivado do modelo pedagógico de procedimentos técnicos da tradução de Vinay e Darbelnet (1958), num estudo de caso de duas traduções para a língua inglesa do livro A Paixão Segundo G. H., escrito por Clarice Lispector em 1964, traduzido por Ronald W. de Sousa, em 1988 e retraduzido por Idra Novey, em 2012. A fundamentação teórica discorre sobre os conceitos de domesticação e estrangeirização, segundo Venuti, e sobre o percurso da retradução, desde 1990 até nossos dias. Também são comentados a vida e a arte de Clarice Lispector, bem como seus dois tradutores. Os trabalhos de Hélène Cixous e Benjamin Moser são relacionados aos possíveis motivos para a retradução. O MMT é apresentado e explicado. A comparação intuitiva sugeriu que as duas traduções pareciam muito literais, com algumas diferenças possivelmente devidas à subjetividade dos tradutores e exigências dos editores. Entretanto, o MMT, em uma amostra de 542 palavras, mostrou que a quantidade de domesticação na tradução foi estatisticamente mais alta do que na retradução, não rejeitando, portanto a hipótese de Berman. / This dissertation aims to quantitatively verify Bermans hypothesis of retranslation by describing and applying Auberts (1977, 1989) Method of Modalities of Translation (MMT), derived from Vinay and Darbelnets pedagogical model of technical procedures of translation (1958), in a case study of two English translations of The Passion According to G.H., by Clarice Lispector. The original was written in 1964, the first translation was made in 1988 by Ronald W. de Sousa, and the retranslation in 2012 by Idra Novey. The theoretical framework presents Venutis concepts of domestication and foreignization and the history of ideas on retranslation, from 1990 to the present. Clarice Lispector, the woman, and the writer, as well as its translators are described and commented on. Hélène Cixous and Benjamin Mosers works are presented as related to the motives of the retranslation. The Method (MMT) is presented and explained. Both translations seemed very literal with some differences possibly due to the translators subjectivity and demands of the editors. However, in a sample of 542 words the amount of domestication in the translation was statistically higher than in the retranslation and therefore in line with Bermans hypothesis.

Genetic structure, mating system and domestication of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) using molecular markers / Estrutura genética, sistema reprodutivo e domesticação de urucum (Bixa orellana L.) utilizando marcadores moleculares

Dequigiovanni, Gabriel 01 August 2017 (has links)
Plant domestication is an evolutionary process that leads to several modifications in plants to increase adaptation to cultivation and utilization by humans. These modifications may decrease the fitness of plants in the wild habitat but increase it for human exploitation. Annatto (Bixa orellana L.) is a shrubby plant domesticated in Amazonia from wild annatto (Bixa orellana var. urucurana) populations. This thesis presents a more in-depth understanding of the domestication, mating system and genetic diversity and structure of annatto and its wild ancestor in Brazil. In the first study, a new set of 32 microsatellite loci isolated from a microsatellite-enriched genomic library was developed, of which 12 were polymorphic in populations of both cultivated and wild annatto. In the second study, the genetic diversity and structure of wild annatto populations in Brazilian Amazonia were characterized with 16 microsatellite markers. High population structure and positive correlation between genetic and geographic distances were found, suggesting that genetic differentiation might be caused by geographic isolation. Additionally, Ecological Niche Modeling was used to characterize the potential geographical range of this variety in northern South America and detected that South Rondônia, Madre di Dios River basin, Llanos de Mojos, Llanos de Orinoco and eastern Ecuador are highly suitable areas for wild annatto to occur, providing additional targets for future exploration and conservation. In the third study, 16 microsatellite loci and four phytochemical compounds were used to evaluate the genetic diversity of 63 accessions from the annatto germplasm bank at the Agronomic Institute (IAC). In both molecular and phytochemical analysis the results tended to separate the accessions from Rondônia, northern Brazil, from the Southwestern accessions. Rondônia accessions showed higher values for all the phytochemical compounds and higher levels of genetic diversity. Some accessions presented bixin levels well above the average and are promising materials to be used in genetic improvement programs. In the fourth study, 12 microsatellite loci were used to determine the mating system of a cultivated population of annatto from Rondon do Pará, PA. Multilocus outcrossing rate indicated a mixed mating system for this population. Biparental inbreeding also contributed to the selfing rate in this population. Crossings among related individuals were also observed. Due to this mixed breeding system, the collection of open-pollinated seeds for plant breeding or conservation purposes should include at least 60 plants to ensure a representative sample. In the fifth study, the amount and distribution of genetic diversity among samples of cultivated annatto from homegardens of riverside communities along the major rivers in Brazilian Amazonia, and from farmer´s fields along highways, in the States of Rondônia and Pará, and Southeastern Brazil was characterized. The samples collected presented moderate levels of genetic diversity, and moderate to high levels of admixture between geographic groups, occurring mainly due to exchange of seeds among farmers. However, cluster and Bayesian analyses showed a tendency to group samples based on their geographic origin. Isolation by distance was observed, according to Mantel\'s test. In the last study, wild and cultivated annatto samples from Brazilian Amazonia were compared using 16 microsatellite loci and two cpDNA regions. A clear separation between wild and cultivated annatto, supported by high values of FST in both analyses was observed. Wild samples presented higher rates of diversity in relation to cultivated, partly because these populations did not suffer anthropic selection, as in the cultivated varieties. The data suggest the existence of genetic relationship between wild and cultivated annatto, indicated by moderate levels of gene flow. The results also showed the proximity between groups of cultivated and wild accessions from Rondônia and the Madeira River basin. This proximity provides indications that annatto started its domestication in this area from B. orellana var. urucurana. / Domesticação de plantas é um processo evolutivo que pode gerar uma série de modificações nas plantas para aumentar a adaptação para o cultivo e utilização pelos humanos. Estas modificações podem diminuir a aptidão das plantas no habitat selvagem, porém, aumentando sua aptidão para exploração humana. Urucum (Bixa orellana L.) é uma planta arbustiva domesticada na Amazônia a partir de populações de Bixa orellana var. urucurana. Esta tese apresenta um entendimento mais aprofundado sobre a domesticação, sistema reprodutivo e diversidade genética e estrutura de urucum e seu ancestral selvagem no Brasil. No primeiro estudo, um novo conjunto de 32 locos microssatélites foram isolados a partir de uma biblioteca genômica enriquecida com microssatélites, dos quais 12 foram polimórficos em populações de urucum selvagem e cultivado. No segundo estudo, a diversidade e estrutura genética de populações selvagens de urucum na Amazônia brasileira foram caracterizadas usando 16 marcadores microssatélites. Elevada estrutura populacional, e correlações positivas entre distancias genéticas e geográficas foram observadas, sugerindo que a diferenciação genética é resultante de isolamento geográfico. Adicionalmente, Modelagem de Nicho Ecológico foi utilizada para caracterizar a distribuição potencial desta variedade no norte da América do Sul e observamos que o Sul de Rondônia, a bacia do rio Madre de Dios, os Llanos de Mojos e de Orinoco e oeste do Equador são áreas de alta probabilidade de ocorrência de urucum selvagem, fornecendo informações importantes para novas amostragens e conservação. No terceiro estudo, 16 locos de microssatélites e quatro compostos fitoquímicos foram utilizados para avaliar a diversidade genética de 63 acessos do banco de germoplasma de urucum do Instituto Agronômico (IAC). Em ambas as análises, houve uma tendência de separação dos acessos de Rondônia, norte do Brasil, dos acessos do Sudeste. Os acessos de Rondônia apresentaram elevados valores para todos os compostos fitoquímicos e também apresentaram altos níveis de diversidade genética. Alguns acessos apresentaram níveis de bixina acima da média e são considerados materiais promissores para uso em programas de melhoramento genético de urucum. No quarto estudo, 12 locos microssatélites foram utilizados para determinar o sistema de cruzamento de uma população de urucum de Rondon do Pará, PA. A taxa de cruzamento multilocos indicou um sistema misto de cruzamento para esta população. A endogamia biparental também contribuiu para a taxa de autofecundação. Cruzamentos entre indivíduos aparentados também foram observados. Devido ao sistema misto, a coleta de sementes de polinização aberta para fins de conservação e melhoramento genético deve incluir pelo menos 60 plantas para assegurar uma amostragem representativa. No quinto estudo, a distribuição da diversidade genética entre amostras de urucum cultivado de quintais de comunidades ribeirinhas dos principais rios da Amazônia Brasileira, além de plantações ao longo das rodovias dos estados do Rondônia e Pará, além do Sudeste do Brasil foi caracterizada. As amostras coletadas apresentaram moderados níveis de diversidade genética e moderados a altos níveis de fluxo gênico entre os grupos geográficos, principalmente devido ao intercambio de semente entre agricultores. Contudo, análises Bayesianas e de agrupamento indicaram uma tendência de agrupamento baseado na origem geográfica das amostras. Isolamento por distância também foi observado de acordo com o teste de Mantel. No último estudo, amostras de urucum selvagem e cultivado da Amazônia brasileira foram comparados utilizando 16 locos microssatélites e duas regiões de DNA cloroplastidial. Uma clara separação entre cultivados e selvagens, suportada por altos valores de FST em ambas as análises foi observado. Amostras selvagens apresentaram altas taxas de diversidade em relação aos cultivados, parcialmente por não sofrem seleção antrópica como acontece nas variedades cultivadas. Os dados sugerem a existência de relações genéticas entre urucum selvagem e cultivado, indicado por moderados níveis de fluxo gênico. Os resultados também demonstraram a proximidade entre grupos de urucum selvagem e cultivados de Rondônia e da bacia do Rio Madeira. Esta proximidade fornece indícios que a domesticação de urucum iniciou nesta região a partir de B. orellana var. urucurana.

Caracterização de transposases da família  SChaT em cana-de-açúcar: estudo molecular e funcional. / Characterization of SChAT family transposases in sugarcane: molecular and functional studies.

Cruz, Edgar Andrés Ochoa 19 June 2012 (has links)
Os elementos de transposição (TEs) se movimentam de um locus para outro no genoma afetando a estrutura e evolução destes. A superfamília de transposases hAT é definida pelos elementos que compartilham os domínios de dimerização e ligação ao DNA com os transposons previamente descritos: hobo, Activator e Tam3. Análises prévias encontraram algumas evidencias da presença genômica e ativação transcricional de TEs relacionados à superfamília hAT em cana-de-açúcar (denominados de família SChAT) e pelo menos três linhagens evolutivas foram postuladas. O objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar versões genômicas das linhagens de transposons (191 e 257) e linhagem possivelmente domesticada (074). Pretende-se estudar as relações evolutivas, distribuição em gramíneas, identificar os padrões de expressão e propriedades funcionais. Regiões de sintenia foram estabelecidas para estes BACs em Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa e Zea mays. Elementos relacionados com as três linhagens foram procurados nestes genomas. / Transposable elements (TEs) are able to move from one locus to another within a genome. TE mobilization affects genome structure and evolution. The hAT transposase superfamily is defined as elements that share the dimerization and DNA ligation domains with the previously described hobo, Activator and Tam3 transposon elements. Previous analyses found some genomic and transcriptional evidences of TEs related to hAT superfamily in sugarcane (named SChAT family) and at least three evolutionary lineages were proposed. The aim of this work is to characterize full-length genomic versions of the transposons lineages (191 and 257) and from the domesticated lineage (074). It is proposed to study the evolutionary relationship, distribution along grasses genomes, identify expression patterns and functional capacities of the SChAT elements. Syntenic regions for the BACs containing elements from the three lineages were mapped in Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa and Zea mays. Related elements were search on the same genomes.

The Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae), a major pest of horticulture in eastern Australia, is a relatively poor coloniser of new habitat. This thesis examines behavioural properties that might limit the ability of B. tryoni to establish new populations. As the potential for B. tryoni to establish an outbreak population may be most directly limited by mechanisms associated with dispersal and mating behaviour, these two factors were the focus of this research project. The relevance of dispersal and mating behaviour for control of outbreak populations was assessed. Dispersal (i) Dispersal patterns of males and females are not different. Dispersal of post-teneral male B. tryoni from a point within an orchard near Richmond, New South Wales, was monitored following temporally replicated releases. Application of sterile insect technique (SIT) requires knowledge of dispersal from a release point so that effective release rates can be determined. In addition, dispersal following introduction to new habitat can lead to low or negative population growth and an Allee effect. In Spring and Autumn, 2001 � 2003, three different strains of B. tryoni were released: (1) wild flies reared from infested fruit collected in the Sydney Basin; (2) a laboratory-reared strain with a colour mutation (white marks); and (3) sterile flies obtained by gamma-irradiation of a mass-reared strain. Dispersal was monitored using a grid of traps baited with the male attractant, cuelure. During the majority of releases, flies were massmarked using a self-marking technique and fluorescent pigment powder to enable identification of recaptured flies. A preliminary study found that fluorescent pigment marks had no effect on adult survival and marks did not fade significantly in the laboratory over a period of five weeks after eclosion. As cuelure repels inseminated sexually mature female B. tryoni, unbaited, coloured flat sticky traps, and black and yellow sticky sphere traps baited with a food lure (protein autolysate solution) were used to supplement traps baited with cuelure. The effectiveness of these two sticky trap types was assessed, and recaptures used to compare patterns of dispersal from a release point by male and female B. tryoni. Fluorescent yellow (chartreuse), green, and clear unbaited flat sticky traps were relatively ineffective for monitoring dispersal of sterile male and female B. tryoni, recapturing only 0.1% of released sterile flies. Monitoring dispersal with sticky ball traps baited with protein autolysate solution was more successful, with yellow spheres and black spheres recapturing 1.7% and 1.5%, respectively. Trap colour had no effect on recaptures on flat sticky traps or sticky spheres. Equal recapture rates on yellow and black sticky sphere traps suggests that the odour of yeast autolysate solution was more important than colour for attraction of post-teneral flies to traps. Using the results of recaptures on odoriferous black and yellow sticky sphere traps within one week of release, regression equations of male and female recaptures per trap were found to be similar (Figure 4-3). This is the first study to clearly indicate that post-teneral dispersal patterns of male and female B. tryoni released from a point do not differ, enabling the use of existing models to predict density of both sexes of B. tryoni following post-teneral dispersal. (ii) Males disperse further in Spring than in Autumn, but this is not temperature-related. Analysis of replicated recaptures in traps baited with cuelure revealed that dispersal of male B. tryoni in an orchard near Richmond, New South Wales, was higher in Spring than in Autumn (Figure 5-6). As the maximum daily temperature was significantly higher in Spring than in Autumn this result was unexpected, since earlier studies have found that B. tryoni disperse at the onset of cool weather in search of sheltered over-wintering sites. Dispersal of post-teneral B. tryoni may have been affected by habitat suitability; it was found that seasonal trends in dispersal could have been influenced by local habitat variables. Low mean dispersal distances in Autumn may be explained by the presence of fruiting hosts in the orchard, or the availability of resources required by over-wintering flies. There was no significant correlation between temperature and mean dispersal distance, suggesting that higher rates of dispersal cannot be explained by temperature-related increases in activity. Recapture rate per trap was significantly negatively correlated with increasing daily maximum and average temperature. This may have consequences for detection of B. tryoni outbreaks in quarantine areas due to reduced cuelure trap efficiency. (iii) Maturity and source variation affect dispersal and response to cuelure. This research indicated that most male and female B. tryoni do not disperse far from a release point, suggesting that an invading propagule would not spread far in the first generation. However, there is considerable variation in flight capability among individuals. Comparison of wild, laboratory-reared white marks, and gamma-irradiated sterile male B. tryoni indicated that mean dispersal distance and redistribution patterns were not significantly affected by fly origin. Despite no difference in dispersal distance from the release point, recaptures of wild and sterile males per Lynfield trap baited with cuelure were highest within one week after release, whereas recaptures of white marks males per trap increased in the second week. This result may offer evidence to support the hypothesis that sterile male B. tryoni respond to cuelure at an earlier age. Rearing conditions used to produce large quantities of males for sterilisation by gamma-irradiation may select for earlier sexual maturity. Mating Behaviour (i) Density and sex ratio do not affect mating, except at low densities. Demographic stochasticity in the form of sex ratio fluctuations at low population density can lead to an observed Allee effect. The effect of local group density and sex ratio on mating behaviour and male mating success of a laboratory-adapted strain of B. tryoni was examined in laboratory cages. In the laboratory-adapted strain of B. tryoni used in this study, a group of one female and one male was sufficient for a good chance of mating success. The proportion of females mated and male mating success was not significantly affected by density or sex ratio, although variability in male mating success was higher at low density. This could indicate that mating success of B. tryoni can be reduced when local group density is low owing to decreased frequency in encounters between males and females. (ii) Mass-reared males exhibit aberrant mating behaviour, but this does not reduce mating success. Strong artificial selection in mass-rearing facilities may lead to decreased competitiveness of sterile males released in SIT programs as a result of alteration or loss of ecological and behavioural traits required in the field. The effects of domestication and irradiation on the mating behaviour of males of B. tryoni were investigated by caging wild, mass-reared and sterile (mass-reared and gammairradiated) males with wild females. Mating behaviour of mass-reared males was different from that of wild males, but behaviour of wild and sterile males was similar. Mass-reared males were found to engage in mounting of other males much more frequently than wild and sterile males, and began calling significantly earlier before darkness. Male calling did not appear to be associated with female choice of mating partners, although this does not exclude the possibility that calling is a cue used by females to discriminate between mating partners. Conditions used to domesticate and rear large quantities of B. tryoni for SIT may select for an alternative male mating strategy, with mass-reared males calling earlier and exercising less discrimination between potential mating partners. Despite differences in behaviour of wild, mass-reared and sterile males, frequency of successful copulations and mating success were similar. (iii) Pheromone-calling by males was increased in larger aggregations but this did not result in significantly more female visits. Finally, large laboratory cages with artificial leks were used to investigate the importance in B. tryoni of male group size for female visitation at lek sites and initiation of male pheromone-calling. Calling propensity of male B. tryoni was increased by the presence of conspecific males. Females visited the largest lek more frequently than single males, but there was no correlation between lek size and female visitation. Female B. tryoni had a limited capacity to perceive a difference between the number of calling males; female visitation at leks was only weakly associated with male calling, suggesting that lek size and the number of pheromone-calling males may not be the only factor important in locating mates in B. tryoni. The weak, but positive correlation between male calling and female visitation may indicate that passive attraction maintains lek-mating in B. tryoni. Further studies are essential on mating behaviour of B. tryoni, including identification of male mating aggregations in the field, measurement of habitat variables associated with male aggregations, the influence of density on wild B. tryoni mating success, and the role of pheromone-calling, in order to optimise use of SIT for control of this pest.
