This is the home page of the UConn EEB department's Co-evolution Seminar, taking the place of the Systematics Seminar this semester (EEB 6486). This is a graduate seminar devoted to issues of interest to graduate students and faculty who make up the systematics program at the University of Connecticut.

'''Seminar Format:''' Registered students should sign up for a subject/week by the 10th of February.  Because we may have more students than available class sessions, it may be necessary to co-lead some sessions. If you are interested in more than one subject, feel free to sign up for two sessions.

+
The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) an introductory presentation, (3) driving discussion and (4) setting up and putting away the projector. 
  
== Meeting time and place ==
+
'''Readings:''' In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper /chapter for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources.  The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least a week in advance.
We are meeting this semester in the '''Bamford Room (TLS 171B) Tuesdays 4-5pm''' (except Sept. 6, when we will meet in TLS 154; see below)
+
  
== Schedule for Fall Semester 2011 ==
+
'''Introductory PowerPoint:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute PowerPoint. Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes.  (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.).  Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging.  Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated).  You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all.
+
Several themes were identified for this semester's Systematics Seminar. We will spend 2-3 weeks on each one.
+
* Ancestral state reconstruction
+
* Use of niche modeling in delimiting species
+
* Informativeness of genes
+
* Cryptic species
+
  
=== Tuesday, September 6, 2011 ===
+
'''Discussion:''' You are responsible for driving the discussion.  Assume everyone in attendance has read the paper. There are excellent suggestions for generating class discussions on Chris Elphick’s Current Topics in Conservation Biology course site.  See section under expectations. 
We will attend the special seminar by Chris Bird, an EEB BS alum and presently a postdoctoral associate at the University of Hawaii. The talk will be at '''4 pm in TLS 154''', and is entitled “Sympatric Speciation on the Seashore.”
+
 
 +
Prepare 3-5 questions that you expect will spur discussion.  Ideally, you would distribute questions the Friday before our class meeting.
 +
 
 +
'''Projector:'''
 +
The presenter will be responsible for setting up the projector for each class session—you will need to get it from the EEB office, make sure you have appropriate adaptors and have it set up so that class can begin on schedule. Kathy has reserved the pink projector for our class. If you do not have a laptop, let Wagner know and he will bring his. (Nick McIntosh may also be able to provide a loaner.)
 +
 
 +
'''Themes of the seminar will include:'''
 +
* methods for detecting co-speciation (or the lack thereof)
 +
* the evolutionary consequences of mutualisms, e.g., to evolutionary diversification and extinction
 +
* when we should expect to find signals of co-speciation
 +
* what evolutionary forces resist coevolution
 +

=== Topics ===
Eric Schultz will lead a discussion of the following paper:
+
This seminar will be split between class meetings that emphasize phylogenetic underpinnings, tree comparisons, and reconciliation methods, with those focused on the evolutionary processes underlying co-evolutionary phenomena (as well as the forces and circumstances that, more often than not, prevent it from occurring). And while parasites will figure large in our readings and discussions, we will also explore insect-plant co-evolution, endosymbionts and other mutualisms, mimicry, and others.

<br>
The authors provide a good review of the previous studies (using allozymes, mtDNA) with conflicting results. They also provide a thorough analysis of all sampled tuatara populations using different techniques (microsats, mtDNA, and PCA on allozyme data obtained by others). The paper is good example of getting different results using different techniques, since the markers probably have different evolutionary history. Therefore, using various techniques (and not focusing on a few evidence from morphology, or molecular data) seems necessary for future taxonomic studies.

Dan Rosauer will be visiting. Here are his suggestions for reading: "I’ve attached 2 papers, and suggest that people could choose one of them to read. The Rosauer et al paper describes the phylogenetic endemism concept – which is one of the measures implemented in Biodiverse, while the Laffan et al paper focuses on the Biodiverse software and what it can do."

Revision as of 16:50, 15 April 2015

This is the home page of the UConn EEB department's Co-evolution Seminar, taking the place of the Systematics Seminar this semester (EEB 6486). This is a graduate seminar devoted to issues of interest to graduate students and faculty who make up the systematics program at the University of Connecticut.

Seminar Format: Registered students should sign up for a subject/week by the 10th of February. Because we may have more students than available class sessions, it may be necessary to co-lead some sessions. If you are interested in more than one subject, feel free to sign up for two sessions.

The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) an introductory presentation, (3) driving discussion and (4) setting up and putting away the projector.

Readings: In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper /chapter for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources. The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least a week in advance.

Introductory PowerPoint: Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute PowerPoint. Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.). Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging. Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated). You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all.

Discussion: You are responsible for driving the discussion. Assume everyone in attendance has read the paper. There are excellent suggestions for generating class discussions on Chris Elphick’s Current Topics in Conservation Biology course site. See section under expectations.

Prepare 3-5 questions that you expect will spur discussion. Ideally, you would distribute questions the Friday before our class meeting.

Projector: The presenter will be responsible for setting up the projector for each class session—you will need to get it from the EEB office, make sure you have appropriate adaptors and have it set up so that class can begin on schedule. Kathy has reserved the pink projector for our class. If you do not have a laptop, let Wagner know and he will bring his. (Nick McIntosh may also be able to provide a loaner.)

Themes of the seminar will include:

  • methods for detecting co-speciation (or the lack thereof)
  • the evolutionary consequences of mutualisms, e.g., to evolutionary diversification and extinction
  • when we should expect to find signals of co-speciation
  • what evolutionary forces resist coevolution

Meeting time and place

For the Spring 2015 semester, we are meeting in the Bamford Room (TLS 171B) Tuesdays at 4

Topics

This seminar will be split between class meetings that emphasize phylogenetic underpinnings, tree comparisons, and reconciliation methods, with those focused on the evolutionary processes underlying co-evolutionary phenomena (as well as the forces and circumstances that, more often than not, prevent it from occurring). And while parasites will figure large in our readings and discussions, we will also explore insect-plant co-evolution, endosymbionts and other mutualisms, mimicry, and others.

Tuesday, 20 January 2015

At this meeting we will discuss possible themes for this semester's seminar, and determine the meeting time
