This page lists weekly meetings of the Rubega/Elphick labs. Students (grads and undergrads) who are doing research in our labs and who are able to attend on a regular basis should sign up for 1 credit to participate in this class. Grad students doing research are expected to present twice a semester, with at least one presentation an update of some part of your research (the other can be on whatever is helpful to you with your research - a paper from the literature, stats questions, practice talk, etc., etc.). Undergraduates and BS/MS students should expect to present something on their research once a semester. If you need a permission number, please contact Margaret or Chris (depending on who your adviser is).<br />
<br />
'''Meeting time:''' Mondays 12-1:30 (probably)<br />
<br />
'''Location:''' BioPharmacy 3rd floor fish bowl (PBB 303) (probably)<br />
<br />
If you have other ideas for things worth discussing (especially relating to professional development), please talk to Margaret or Chris. Past topics that we have discussed include: how to put together a CV for grad schools/job applications, ethics in research, how to write proposals, the mechanics of managing research funds, etc., etc.<br />
<br />
Graduate students can sign up to present by logging in to EEBedia and just editing this page. Undergraduates should talk to Margaret or Chris.<br />
<br />
If there is a published paper to read, please put in a link to it. Note, that the actual papers probably will not be accessible unless you are on a computer connected to the UConn network (you can connect from any computer using uconn vpn and your netID).<br />
<br />
If the date you want is already taken and it says in the notes that it is OK to switch to another date, go ahead and do so (but don't switch someone to a date when they say they will not be there .. and double-check with them that the switch is OK).<br />

The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

<br>''Bracteacoccus'' and its relatives: a case of cryptic genera <br><br />
''Bracteacoccus'', one of the most common soil algae, is taxonomically interwoven with several other genera. In particular, its relationship with the morphologically similar ''Dictyococcus, Muriella'' and ''Pseudomuriella'' is quite tangled because these share a similar overall morphology with ''Bracteacoccus''. This has raised questions about the validity of these genera and the proper taxonomic disposition for their species. Phylogenetic relationships for a number of these taxa can be addressed using molecular sequence data obtained from live type strains. Using analyses of the 18S and rbcL genes, we determined that monophyly of ''Bracteacoccus'' can be achieved only by excluding four unrelated lineages that historically have been included under this name. Firstly, B. engadinensis belongs in the genus ''Pseudomuriella'', along with ''Dictyococcus schumacherensis''. Secondly, ''B. cinnabarinus'' and ''B. minutus'' group with ''Muriella zofingiensis'', a species with its own obscure taxonomic history. These three species are distinct from the true ''Muriella'' lineage (Trebouxiophyceae) and we propose to assign them to the resurrected genus ''Chromochloris'' (Chlorophyceae). Lastly, ''Dictyococcus'' was shown to be an unrelated lineage that can be reliably distinguished from ''Bracteacoccus'' based on chloroplast morphology. Our results indicate that ''Pseudomuriella, Chromochloris'' and ''Bracteacoccus'' are morphologically cryptic genera, representing closely related yet divergent lineages. <br />

This page lists weekly meetings of the Rubega/Elphick labs. Students (grads and undergrads) who are doing research in our labs and who are able to attend on a regular basis should sign up for 1 credit to participate in this class. Grad students doing research are expected to present twice a semester, with at least one presentation an update of some part of your research (the other can be on whatever is helpful to you with your research - a paper from the literature, stats questions, practice talk, etc., etc.). Undergraduates and BS/MS students should expect to present something on their research once a semester. If you need a permission number, please contact Margaret or Chris (depending on who your adviser is).<br />
<br />
'''Meeting time:''' Mondays 12-1:30 (probably)<br />
<br />
'''Location:''' BioPharmacy 3rd floor fish bowl (PBB 303) (probably)<br />
<br />
If you have other ideas for things worth discussing (especially relating to professional development), please talk to Margaret or Chris. Past topics that we have discussed include: how to put together a CV for grad schools/job applications, ethics in research, how to write proposals, the mechanics of managing research funds, etc., etc.<br />
