CANCELED: EEB Thursday Seminar: Ecological drivers of plant mating system evolution (April 2, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69048 69048-17220029@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 2, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The events that occur during reproduction play a critical role in determining the distribution of genetic and phenotypic variance within populations and thus their potential to adapt and persist. Understanding the forces shaping the evolution of mating patterns and the diversity of traits that influence mating success in the natural world is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. Plants, in particular, show an impressive amount of diversity in floral form and the degree to which they outcross or self-pollinate. In this seminar, I will share a series of empirical and modeling studies investigating how the pollination environment drives the evolution of floral traits that promote either outcrossing or selfing.

Canceled: EEB Thursday Seminar: Sex differences in immune function: probing ultimate drivers, and exploring consequences (April 9, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69049 69049-18206121@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 9, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Humans, like many other species, show striking sex differences in immune function. While the proximate determinants of sex differences across species can include both chromosomal and hormonal differences, the ultimate evolutionary determinants will be rooted in differences in investments in competing and caring between the sexes. Ultimate explanations have classically been framed in terms of quantitative sex differences in immune function (with males typically the ‘weaker’ sex), but have failed to account for qualitative sex differences in immune function. We model immune trade-offs that might underpin these differences. Once the dangerous side of immunity is accounted for, two distinct immunological profiles emerge as peaks on a fitness landscape, one aligned with investment in pathogen detection and the other with investment in pathogen killing. Intriguingly, alignment of these fitness peaks with observed sex differences in birds and mammals – where females typically favor detection – cannot be explained by selection pressures emerging from models including immunity trade-offs alone. Age-specific patterns of infection, and/or maternal transfer of immunity (e.g., maternal antibodies) are also required. The characterization of immune function underlying these predictions is necessarily a simplified caricature of the true complexity. We develop projections of the scope of expectations of this simplified caricature in terms of the development of immunity across the life course in the two sexes.

Location:
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

A Webinar presented by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE)

This seminar will focus on differential equation transmission modeling approaches to analyze the spread of infections diseases, and how Prof. Eisenberg and her colleagues are using them to model the current COVID-19 outbreak in the State of Michigan.Their current model is helping to forecast the numbers of laboratory-confirmed cases, fatalities, hospitalized patients, and hospital capacity issues (such as ICU beds needed), and examining how social distancing can impact the spread of the epidemic.

WEBINAR LINK can be found below or at right under "Related Links".

Marisa Eisenberg has been modeling COVID-19 scenarios for the Michigan State Health Department this last month. See article on our website. Link is also below.

Genital evolution in Birds: Losing the penis and winning the Battle.

Most birds do not have a penis, and most ornithologists have not thought about bird penises much. However, evolutionarily, the loss of the penis in birds is an extremely significant event: why lose an organ that seems so handy to get sperm close to female eggs? Dr. Brennan will discuss some hypotheses as to why this loss may have occurred and talk about her work describing variation in the genitalia of avian species that have retained their ancestral penis, and experimental manipulations that have revealed the surprising role of male-male competition in genital morphology. In addition, Dr. Brennan will talk about her research on how sexual conflict has driven extreme modifications of the female genital morphology in ducks, where females suffer great direct and indirect costs from forced copulations and they have evolved complex vaginas that prevent the full eversion of the penis, and reassert female control over paternity. An evolutionary arms race is playing out in the complex genitalia of waterfowl, with some species having extremely exaggerated genitalia. One possible resolution of such conflict is disarmament, and Dr. Brennan will discuss how the avian penis loss may have been driven by female choice for increased sexual autonomy, giving females the upper hand in the reproductive battle.

Looking For Tomorrow Through Yesterday: What Michigan’s Flora In 1840 Can Tell Us About Our Botanical Future (July 28, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75167 75167-19293146@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Biological Station

Dr. Anton Reznicek (Curator of Vascular Plants at the U-M LSA Herbarium) will deliver the annual UMBS Bennett Endowed Lecture in Plant & Fungal Ecology.

It has become routine to predict the future of our biota by starting with present day distributions and broad-brush niches derived from these occurrences. Looking to the past and basing predictions on what has actually happened would seem to be very helpful in understanding the nature of the changes and refining approaches to studying change, but for plants we are typically hampered by lack of past floristic data. This is usually because we have little or no detailed information for floras before large scale European alteration of the landscape. Michigan, however, is unique in that immediately after becoming a State, in 1837, the State legislature, advised by forward thinking scientists, established the First Geological Survey of Michigan. The core idea was to produce detailed information on Michigan’s natural resources to provide a scientific foundation for the development of the State. Because at this time essentially all medicine was plant based, a detailed inventory of the Flora, supported by herbarium specimens, was a major thrust of the First Survey. Collating and studying this material laid the groundwork for understanding of our past flora in unusual depth. Three segments of this knowledge will be the primary focus. First, a review of the First Survey’s collecting activities (and those of a few other early collectors) and what we thus know about Michigan’s Flora in 1840. Second, a review of changes that have occurred that bring us, 180 years later, to the composition of our present day flora. In terms of species loss, this has been driven mostly by direct physical alteration of habitats, either complete elimination or drastic alteration of the hydrology and microhabitat conditions, especially in southern Michigan. Finally, knowing the operation of the past drivers of change, what can we infer about the changes we can expect in the
future?

Abstract:
A macroscopic theory for cellular states with steady-growth is presented, based on consistency between cellular growth and molecular replication, as well as robustness of phenotypes against perturbations. Adaptive changes in high-dimensional phenotypes are shown to be restricted within a low-dimensional slow manifold, from which a macroscopic law for cellular states is derived, as is confirmed by adaptation experiments of bacteria under stress. Next, the theory is extended to phenotypic evolution, leading to proportionality between phenotypic responses against genetic evolution and by environmental adaptation. Evolutionary relevance of slow modes in controlling high-dimensional phenotypes is discussed. Last, I will touch upon the origin of central dogma in molecular biology as symmetry breaking between function and information.
