141	THE BIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF CRYPTIC LOCAL ADAPTATION AND CONTEMPORARY EVOLUTION Morgan M Sparks (15353425) 25 April 2023 (has links) <p> </p> <p>Evolution is the foundation for all of biology. However, our approaches and understanding of evolution—simply, the change of allele frequencies from one generation to the next—have themselves evolved over time. In this dissertation I explore multiple approaches to understand evolution and the consequences of evolution across variable scales and study organisms. First, I use meta-analytic techniques and Bayesian hierarchical models to investigate the phenotypic consequences of two forms of cryptic local adaptation, co- and countergradient variation, by leveraging a decades-old quantitative genetics approach (Chapter 1). I find large effects for both co- and countergradient variation, however they are obscured in natural settings by concurrent large environmental effects. I also show that these large effects are ubiquitous across phenotypic traits, organisms, and environmental gradients, suggesting that while similar phenotypes may be the evolutionary end point, the mechanisms to achieve those phenotypes likely vary. In the following chapter I explore the rapid evolution of a unique and understudied species introduction, pink salmon (<em>Oncorhynchus gorbuscha</em>) in the Great Lakes. Pink salmon were introduced into Lake Superior in a single introduction event and have broken two obligate life histories, anadromy (though they treat the Great Lakes like surrogate oceans) and their fixed two-year life cycle, making them ripe subjects for contemporary evolution. Using whole-genome sequence data, I first investigate the effects of a genetic drift in the form of a bottleneck at introduction and characterize the subsequent loss of genetic diversity (Chapter 2). I show that despite a large loss of genetic diversity, pink salmon also rapidly adapted to their novel environment based on signals of putative selection across numerous regions of the genome, particularly in a period gene associated with their daily circadian clock (<em>per2</em>). Next, I explore how genome structure likely aided adaptation by pink salmon to the Great Lakes, providing evidence that a supergene (~29 Mbp) containing an inversion on chromosome 10 swept to near fixation in the Great Lakes (Chapter 3) and likely aided in osmoregulatory adaptation to this novel environment. Finally, I end with a short perspective chapter (Chapter 4) where I highlight potential future research directions for each of the previous chapters. Together, this research investigates the drivers and consequences of evolution across multiple scales and shows the powerful effect of genetic drift and genetic adaptation in shaping the genomic and phenotypic attributes of populations.</p> Freshwater ecology Biological adaptation Evolutionary ecology Life histories Genomics Countergradient variation cogradient variation Pink Salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha Rapid adaption Rapid evolution genetic bottlenecks Contemporary evolution invasive species Genetic drift

144	Crescimento e composição mineral de mudas de três espécies arbóreas nativas em resposta a macronutrientes / Growth and mineral composition of three native tree species seedlings in response to macro nutrients Oliveira, Fernanda Ataide de 05 December 2008 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-26T13:53:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 resumo.pdf: 975706 bytes, checksum: b7f729aac6cddff22d4ac5ac02bd1e93 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-12-05 / The biome of the Atlantic Forest has sufered a continuous devastation process, with vast ecological and environmental consequences, and the main form of forest restoration is the planting of seedlings. The production of native tree species seedlings of the Atlantic, the hydroeletric plant of Itaipu Binational aims to reforest the riparian vegetation of ltaipu Lake, and constitute the Biological Corridor which will connect Iarge areas of protected forest in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. This venture is considered by UNESCO one of the largest environmental conservation projects of the world and includes the Morro do Diabo State Park, in the extreme west of São Paulo, the lguaçu National Park. between Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul the green bands around the ltaipu power plant reservoir, the lguaçu and the lguazú National Park in Argentina, and the Turvo State Park in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. ln seedling production, the company gardens use a commercial substrate and plastic tubes of 115 cm3 of capacity. The experiments were conducted in the greenhouse of the Soil Department of the Federal University of Viçosa to evaluate the effects of macronutrients doses (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) on the growth of Cedrella fissilis Vellozo (Cedro), Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub (Canafístula) and Tabebuia serratifolia (Vahl) Nichols. (Ipê-amarelo), produced in tubes and substrate. The seedlings after 90 days of emergency received five doses of each macronutrient by cover application. The experimental design used was the completely randomized, with three species, five doses, six nutrients, with five repetitions with four plants each, towling 90 treatments and 1800 plants. After l40 days, for each species it was evaluated the number of leaves, stems, diameter and height of the neck, and determined the total dry weight and subdivided into leaves, stem, aerial part (MSPA), the dry mass relation of the aerial part with the root. We also evaluated the Ievels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in leaves and roots. The increase of N doses províded significant growth for the three evaluated species. The increase of Mg doses significantly influenced the growth characteristics in canafístula plants and Ipê-amarelo. The increase of S doses favored the increments in plant height characteristícs of Ipê-amarelo. For the nutrients that provide significant responses by the regression analysis the recommended doses for maximum production were in the order of 200 mg dm-3 N, 240 mg dm-3 of Mg and 100 mg dm-3 of S. For the zero dose, the N in the maximum applied dose (200 mg dm-3) for plants of Cedro, Ipê-amarelo and Canafístula provided an increase of 6.4, 20.5 and 20.8% in MSPA. Rcspectively, the Mg in the maximum evaluated dose (240 mg dm-3) for seedlings of Ipê-amarelo and Canafístula provided an increment of 7.7 and 8.3% in MSPA, respectively, and S for the ipe scedlings. in the maximum evaluated dose (100 mg dm-3) provided an increase of 5.5% in the MSPA. The critical levels of N in the leaf tissues in Cedro plants, Canafístula and Ipê-amarelo, were 23.07, 20.61 and 22.68 g kg-1, and in the roots 10.83, 9.8 and 14. 19 g kg-1, respectively. The critical Mg levels in lhe leaf tissues in Canafístula and lpê-amareelo plants. were 0.96 and 1.76 g kg-1, and in the roots 0.57 and l.l9 g kg-1, respectively. The critical S levels in lpê-amarelo plants in the leaf tissues. were O.49 g kg-1 and 0.52 g kg-1 in the roots. The other nutrients did not show the recommended doses for the maximum production, justified probably by the presence of these nutrients in the substrate, near or above the critical level. ln general, the response of significant growth with the increase of N availabilíty is possibly Iinked to favorable conditions of leaching in the production of forest species grown in plastic tubes. For the advantage of the balance and availability of nutrients in the commercial substrate used, it is recommended the use of additional fertilization in Mg substrate for Canafístula and Ipê-amarelo, S for the lpê-amarelo and N for the three species. / O bioma da Mata Atlântica tem sofrido um processo contínuo de devastação, com grandes consequências ecológicas e ambientais, e a principal forma de recomposição florestal é o plantio de mudas. A produção de mudas de espécies arbóreas nativas da Mata Atlântica, na Usina Hidrelétrica de Itaipu Binacional tem o objetivo de reflorestar a mata ciliar do lago de Itaipu, e constituir o Corredor Biológico que interligará grandes áreas de mata protegida no Brasil, Paraguai e Argentina. Este empreendimento é considerado pela UNESCO um dos maiores projetos de conservação ambiental do mundo e inclui o Parque Estadual do Morro do Diabo, no extremo oeste de São Paulo; o Parque Nacional de Iguaçu, entre Paraná e Mato Grosso do Sul; as faixas verdes em torno do reservatório da usina de Itaipu; o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu e o de Iguazú, na Argentina; e o Parque Estadual do Turvo, no Rio Grande do Sul. Na produção de mudas, os hortos da empresa utilizam substrato comercial e tubete de 115 cm3 de capacidade. Os experimentos conduzidos em casa de vegetação do Departamento de Solos da Universidade Federal de Viçosa objetivaram avaliar os efeitos de doses dos macronutrientes (N, P, K, Ca, Mg e S). sobre o crescimento de Cedrella fissilis Vellozo (Cedro), Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub (Canafístula) e Tabebuia serratifolia (Vahl) Níchols. (lpê-amarelo), produzidas em tubete e substrato. As plântulas após aproximadamente 90 dias de emergência receberam cinco doses de cada macronutriente via aplicação em cobertura. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, sendo três espécies, cinco doses, seis nutrientes, com cinco repetições com quatro plantas cada, totalizando 90 tratamentos e 1800 plantas. Após 140 dias, foi avaliado para cada espécie o número de folhas, hastes, diâmetro do colo e altura, e determinado a matéria seca total e subdividida em folha, caule, parte aérea (MSPA), de raízes, a relação da massa seca da parte aérea com a raiz. Foram avaliados ainda os teores de N, P, K. Ca. Mg e S nas folhas e raízes. O aumento das doses de N proporcionou o crescimento significativo para as três espécies avaliadas. O aumento das doses de Mg influenciou as características de crescimento significativamente nas plantas de canafístula e Ipê-amarelo. O aumento das doses de S favoreceu os incrementos nas características de crescimento das plantas de Ipê-amarelo, para a produção máxima foram da ordem de 200 mg dm-3 de N, 240 mg dm-3 de Mg e 100 mg de de S. Em relação a dose zero, o N na máxima dose aplicada (200 mg dm-3), para as plantas de Cedro, Canafístula e Ipê-amarelo, proporcionou um incremento de 6,4, 20,5 e 20,8 % na MSPAA respectivamente; 0 Mg na dose máxima avaliada (24O mg dm-3), para as mudas de Canafístula e Ipê-amarelo proporcionou um incremento de 7,7 e 8,3 % na MSPA, respectivamente e o S para as mudas de Ipê-amarelo, na dose máxima avaliada (100 mg dm-3 ), proporcionou um incremento de 5.5 % na MSPA. Os teores críticos de N nos tecidos foliares nas plantas de Cedro, Canafístula e Ipé-amarelo, foram de 23,07, 20,61 e 22,68 g kg-1, e nas raízes 10,83, 9,8 e 14,19 g kg-1, respectivamente. Os teores críticos de Mg nos tecidos foliares nas plantas de Canafístula e Ipê-amarelo, foram de 0.96 e I,76 g kg-1, e nas raízes 0,57 e l,l9 g kg-1, respectivamente. Os teores críticos de S nas plantas de Ipê-amarelo, nos tecidos foliares, foram de 0,49 g kg-1 e 0.52 g kg-1 nas raízes. Os demais nutrientes não apresentaram as doses recomendadas para a produção máxima, justificado, provavelmente pela presença destes nutrientes no substrato, próximo ou acima do nível crítico. Em geral a resposta de crescimento significativo com o aumento da disponibilidade de N, possivelmente está ligada as condições favoráveis de lixiviação na produção de espécies florestais produzidas cm tubetes. Para o favorecimento do equilíbrio e disponibilidade de nutrientes no substrato comercial utilizado, é recomendado o uso de adubação complementar em substrato de Mg, para a Canafístula e Ipê-amarelo, de S para o Ipê-amarelo e de N para as três espécies.

146	Dr. Eleine Mad Jacobsson, Madeleine January 2021 (has links) Dr. Eleine Mad är Madeleine Jacobsssons talesperson för dom vetenskapliga och paranormala upptäckter som uppstår i hennes världar. Hon beskriver innehåll, teknik och estetik utifrån ett kategoriseringssytem där konsten delas upp som olika typer av komponenter och därefter avkodas dessa allteftersom. För att förstå intuitionens inblandning i arbetsprocessen omförvandlas den till tre separata roller av en Sökare, Samlare och Myntare. Med rollerna försöker jag beskriva på vilka sätt som intuitionen är till gagn eller av förödelse för det konstnärliga arbetet. Sagan om M handlar om en grodlik karaktär, Delop, som lämnar sin hemplanet för att uppsöka andra världar. I sitt sökande hittar Delop ett folkslag vars syn och levnadssätt skiljer sig från hennes erfarenheter av “verkligheten” såsom hon lärt sig att överleva i den. / Dr. Eleine Mad is Madeleine Jacobsson's spokesperson for the scientific and paranormal discoveries that arise in her worlds. She describes content, tecniques and aesthetics based on a categorization system where art is divided into different types of components and then decoded as they go. To understand the intuition's involvement in the work process, it is transformed into three separate roles by a Seeker, Collector and a Myntare(In swedish language the one who is a "myntare" -is verbally declaring a concept or term). With these roles I try to describe in what ways intuition is beneficial or devastating to the artistic work. The story of M is about a frog-like character, Delop, who leaves the home planet to seek out other worlds. In her search, Delop finds a world whose views and lifestyles differ from her experiences of "reality" as she learned to survive in it. / <p>Recorded sound and image material of the presentation is available for private use.</p> mjjgkjacb longing desire pang aj worlds shark genital symbol female sexuality worlds content the tale of M Doctor M mad life artifact animals figures emotional states red existentialism epicenter dog mythology folk beer whistle closeness aversions seeker collector myntare stagnation hibernation intuition sausage soup majdalakdemlsmikopa Delop Cow Lice snake hare sheep ödel oktor threat antipathy empathy fear performance function allow belief clitoral heroes monsters pink components situation dual nature euphoria bic-pens reality violence desert sea AQB brain holistics social codes self fairy tale space blue horse hell gotland dizzying flourish anthropomorphic jewels death plaster spiders commit survive frog whale bear purpose communication wild fascination animal incomparable monster ugly disturbed perspective marauder green symbolism who suffer anger reverence gods recast transformation yellow pry entrance interest alternative insignificant rigid position of power as disease real added disgusting wake up doubt mourn pray images horror plants rock stop mjjgkjacb längtan åtrå pang aj världar haj världsallt könssymbol kvinnlig sexualitet världarnas innehåll sagan om M Doktor M mad livet artefakt djur figurer känslomässiga tillstånd röd existentialism epicentrum hund mytologi folköl vissla närhet aversioner sökare samlare myntare stagnation dvala intuition korvsoppa majdalakdemlsmikopa Delop Ko Löss orm hare får Ödel Oktor hot antipati empati rädsla föreställning funktion tillåta tro klitorala hjältar monster rosa världar komponenter situation dubbla natur eufori bic-pennor verkligheten våld öken hav A.Q.B hjärna holistisk sociala koder självet sagorymd blå häst helvete Gotland vimmelkantig florera antropomorf juveler döden plåsterspindlar vägvisare begå överleva groda val björn syfte kommunicering vild fascination djurisk makalös vidunder ful störd perspektiv marodör grön symbolism vem genomlida ilska vördnad gudar omstöpt sammandrabbningar transformation gul bända ingång intresserar alternativ oväsentlig stel maktposition som sjukdom verkligt tillsatt äcklig vakna tvivla sörja be urbilder skräck växter rock stopp Arts Konst
