Ep. #184 - Natalie Loveless
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Dominic and Cymene celebrate the one thing the USA ever did right—Mr. Rogers. And we wonder whether there is such a thing as Canadian BBQ. Then (13:02) the delightful Natalie Loveless (http://loveless.ca/about) joins the pod. She is the author of a forthcoming book with Duke University Press, How to Make Art at the End of the World: A Manifesto for Research-Creation, and that’s where we begin the conversation with a discussion of the relatively new domain of “research-creation” in Canadian higher education and its potential to help expand who belongs in universities and their modes of legitimate practice. We turn from there to the dilemmas of teaching climate catastrophe to students and her new book project, Sensing the Anthropocene: Aesthetic Attunement in an age of Urgency, which connects research-creation to climate justice. We talk about relation as artistic form and why she thinks it is so crucial that Anthropocene art pursue ecological forms that rupture the systems that brought us to our present circumstances. Finally, we discuss why it’s important not to be captured by the tools and temporalities of university audit culture, her thoughts on the Anthropocene concept as lure and barnacle, and how we might build a feminist university of creativity, experiment and with an eros that is cathected, committed and sustaining

First person – Natalie Farrawell
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Natalie Farrawell is the first author on ‘SOD1A4V aggregation alters ubiquitin homeostasis in a cell model of ALS’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Natalie is a Senior Research Assistant in the lab of Justin Yerbury at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, University of Wollongong, Australia, investigating the molecular processes underpinning amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with a particular emphasis on protein misfolding, protein aggregation and inclusion formation.</jats:p
Morphological, molecular and ecological integrative taxonomy of Acanthocephala (Archiacanthocephala) paraite of Brazilian wildlife mammals
No full textO filo Acanthocephala é caracterizado por não possuir trato digestório e por apresentar na região anterior uma probóscide munida de ganchos que retrai-se para dentro de um receptáculo. Este grupo é dividido em quatro classes Archiacanthocephala, Palaeacanthocephala, Eoacanthocephala e Polyacanthocephala baseado em características morfológicas, biológicas e ecológicas. Dentre os filos dos helmintos estudados em mamíferos brasileiros, o filo Acanthocephala se destaca por apresentar lacunas no que se refere às informações taxonômicas, filogenéticas e ecológicas. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi realizar a taxonomia integrativa dos acantocéfalos recuperados em mamíferos das famílias Procyonidae, Myrmecophagidae e Cricetidae de diferentes regiões geográficas do Brasil, armazenados e disponibilizados pela coleção do Laboratório de Biologia e Parasitologia de mamíferos Silvestres Reservatórios (LABPMR) utilizando características morfologicas, moleculares e ecológicas. Os acantocéfalos recuperados foram identificados através da microscopia de luz (ML) e por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Foi também realizada a análise filogenética molecular dos acantocéfalos com os marcadores moleculares do gene ribossomal da subunidade maior (28S rRNA) e do gene mitocondrial citocromo oxidase da subunidade 1 (MT-CO1). Além disto, foi determinada a prevalência e abundância dos ovos de Acanthocephala através da análise coproparasitológica de fezes de quati Nasua nasua e de cachorro-do-mato Cerdocyon thous, avaliando a influencia dos fatores bióticos e abióticos na infecção Os espécimes de acantocéfalos foram descritos e identificados em duas novas espécies Pachysentis n. sp. (Archiacanthocephala: Oligacanthorhynchidae) parasitando Nasua nasua (quati) proveniente do Mato Grosso do Sul do bioma Pantanal e Moniliformis n. sp. (Archiacanthocephala: Moniliformidae) em Necromys lasiurus (ratinho-do-cerrado) da região de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais do bioma Cerrado; e redescrita a espécie Gigantorhynchus echinodiscus (Archiacanthocephala: Gigantorhynchidae) em Myrmecophaga tridactyla (Tamanduá-bandeira) da Estação Ecológica Santa Bárbara, São Paulo, bioma cerrado. As análises filogenéticas moleculares sugeriram que a espécie G. echinosdichus está relacionada com Mediorhynchus sp. formando um grupo monofilético, assim como Moniliformis n. sp. está relacionado com as espécies do gênero Moniliformis também formando grupo monofilético. A análise ecológica foi realizada com 118 amostras fecais de 55 espécimes de cachorro-do-mato e 72 amostras fecais de 61 espécimes de quatis sugerindo a influência da sazonalidade na abundância dos acantocéfalos para ambos os hospedeiros e que os atributos relacionados ao hospedeiro como sexo e idade também constituíram fatores importantes associados à prevalência e às cargas parasitárias. O presente trabalho acrescentou informações morfológicas, moleculares e ecológicas, enfatizando a importância de adotar abordagem da taxonomia integrativa nos estudos com Acanthocephala.The phylum acanthocephala is characterized by the presence of a proboscis armed with hooks, which retracts into receptacle, and lack of alimentary tract. This group is divided in four classes Archiacanthocephala, Palaeacanthocephala, Eoacanthocephala and Polyacanthocephala based on morphological, biological and ecological characteristics. Among the helminths studied in Brazilian mammals, the phylum Acanthocephala have a lack of taxonomic, phylogenetic and ecological information. The aim of the present work was to perform the integrative taxonomy of acanthocephalans recovered in mammals of the family Procyonidae, Myrmecophagidae and Cricetidae from different geographic regions, store and made available by the Laboratory of Biology and Parasitology of Wild Reservoirs Mammal (LABPMR) using morphological, molecular and ecological characteristics. The recovered acanthocephalans were identified by light microscopy (ML) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, molecular phylogenetic analyses of the acanthocephalans was performed with the molecular markers of ribosomal large subunit (28s rRNA) gene and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (MT-CO1). Furthermore, the prevalence and abundance of acanthocephala’s eggs were determined by coproparasitological analyses of brown-nosed coatis Nasua nasua and crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous, evaluating the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on infection. The acanthocephalan specimens from the LABPRM collection were analyzed, and two new species were described and identified: Pachysentis n. np. (Archiacanthocephala: Oligacanthorhynchidae) parasitizing Nasua nasua (brown-nosed coati) from Mato Grosso do Sul in the Pantanal wetland, and Moniliformis n. sp. (Archiacanthocephala: Moniliformidae) parasitizing Necromys lasiurus (hairy-tailed bolo mouse) from Uberlândia in the state of Minas Gerais in the cerrado biome; and one species were redescribed Gigantorhynchus echinodiscus (Archiacanthocephala: Gigantorhynchidae) in Myrmecophaga tridactyla (giant anteater) from Santa Bárbara Ecological Station, state of São Paulo in the cerrado biome. Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggested that G. echinosdichus is related to Mediorhynchus sp. forming a monophyletic group, as well as Moniliformis n. sp. is related to the species of the genus Moniliformis also forming a monophyletic group. The ecological analysis was performed with 118 fecal samples of 55 specimens of crab-eating fox, and 72 fecal samples of 61 specimens of coatis, and suggested the influence of seasonality on the abundance for both hosts; as well as the attributes related to the host as sex and age were important factors associated with prevalence and parasitic load. The present work added morphological, molecular and ecological informations, emphasizing the importance of adopting integrative taxonomic approaches in studies on acanthocephala.2020-07-1
