Phylogeny, cospeciation, and host switching in the evolution of the ascomycete genus Rhabdocline on Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae)

Creator:

Gernandt, David S.

Abstract:

The relative role of cospeciation and host switching in the phylogenetic history of ascomycete foliar symbionts is addressed in the orders Leotiales and Rhytismatales, fungi associated predominantly with Pinaceae (Coniferales). Emphasis is placed on comparing the evolution of the sister genera Pseudotsuga and Larix (Pinaceae) with that of the pathogenic...

Genomic Resource Development and Studies of Thermal Tolerance in Symbiotic Cnidarians

Creator:

Elder, Holland L.

Abstract:

Reef building corals are the foundation of an entire ecosystem, but they are threatened primarily by rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Corals depend on a thermally sensitive symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates. As oceans warm, this symbiosis is disrupted and results in coral mortality, declining populations and degraded reefs....
