Seminar Speaker: Stuart McDaniel
Institution: Department of Biology, Washington University
EEB Seminar Title: Mating system, hybrid incompatibility, and diversification in mosses
Faculty or Student Contact: Bernard Goffinet
Stuart McDaniel graduate from Oberlin college in 1994. In work as an intern at the New York State Museum before joining Dr. Jon Shaw's lab at Duke. This is were we met! Stuart's first paper from his Duke time was published in evolution. It is the reference study on genetic differentiation of disjunct populations in the moss Pyrrhobryum mnioides. Stuart's interest changed and soon he focused on the model moss (one of many!) Ceratodon purpureus , the fire moss, abundant on the roof of the TLS lobby (you can see it when you come done the stairs). He demonstrated on-going long-distance gene flow within this cosmopolitan moss McDaniel & Shaw 2005; Molecular Ecology). His work on correlations between genetic markers and life-history traits (McDaniel 2008 Evolution) and linkage maps in Ceratodon made him an ideal candidate to join Dr. Quatrano's lab http://www.biology.wustl.edu/faculty/quatrano/ (where he currently is a NIH-NRSA Fellow) and work on another - no longer emerging, and indeed well-established - model system, Physcomitrella patens.
You do not need to be interested in bryophytes to want to talk to him. He has a great personality, and graduate students will certainly enjoy meeting him.
