"Species traits as predictors of the frequency of recolonization in prairie Lepidoptera"
No full textRenae M. Steichen and Christopher Conoan are students at Drake University. Keith S. Summerville is Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Policy in the College of Arts and Sciences at Drake.Restoration ecologists are increasingly turning to the development of models to predict how species move from a regional species pool into a restored community. Two untested assumptions of these models, however, are that ecologists have an understanding for which traits are predictors of species distribution and that such traits predictably interact to determine the community membership. The goals of this study were to sample the regional species pool of Lepidoptera and to determine whether combinations of species traits predispose species toward becoming members of the actual species pool within restored prairies. In 2004, we sampled 259 moth species from 13 Tallgrass prairie remnants and restorations in central Iowa. We used principle components analysis (PCA) to identify significant combinations of ecological traits that were shard by large groups of moth species and found that the model explained 81.6% of the variance. Species most frequently filtered from the regional species pool into prairies were those that: (1) had long flight periods and were multivoltine (2) displayed a feeding preference for legumes but not the Asteraceae or other forb families, and (3) were regionally abundant but relatively small in body size. Analysis showed significant differences in moth community composition among prairie sites, suggesting trait differences among species partly drive patterns of turnover among prairie sites. Finally, our results suggest that a combination of random and deterministic mechanisms interact to determine how moths attain community membership within restored habitats, and that these processes may operate relatively slowly for univoltine forb specialists with restricted distributions.Drake University, College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Environmental Science and Policy

Metabolic and molecular responses to interspecies hydrogen transfer between Ruminococcus albus and Wolinella succinogenes
No full textThe mutually beneficial interdependence of hydrogen-producing and hydrogen-utilizing bacteria was discovered by M. P. Bryant, M. J. Wolin and R. S. Wolfe at the University of Illinois in 1967. Based on thermodynamic principles, interspecies hydrogen transfer is a central process in anaerobic environments linking transfer of reducing power from fermentation of organic molecules to inorganic electron acceptors via hydrogen. Interspecies hydrogen transfer is the most significant example of unidirectional substrate supply enabling the syntrophic metabolic association between interacting microbial species and plays a significant role in the global methane cycle. Ruminococcus albus 7 is a hydrogen-producing, fermentative bacterium with two known hydrogen-producing hydrogenase complexes, HydABC and HydA2, as well as a putative hydrogen-sensing protein, HydS. HydABC is the only chromosomal hydrogenase, while HydA2 and HydS form a transcriptional unit on its plasmid pRumal01. The electron-bifurcating ferredoxin- and NAD-dependent [FeFe]-hydrogenase, HydABC, couples proton reduction using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to proton reduction using reduced ferredoxin (Fdred), producing molecular hydrogen: 3 H+ + NADH + Fdred → 2 H2 + NAD+ + Fdox. HydA2, a ferredoxin-dependent [FeFe]-hydrogenase, reduces protons to molecular hydrogen using only reduced ferredoxin: 2 H+ + Fdred → H2 + Fdox. HydS contains a PAS domain, which often are present on sensory proteins. In addition, HydS contains a putative redox-sensing [4Fe:4S] cluster.
We hypothesized HydS transcriptionally regulates HydA2 in a manner dependent on the presence of a hydrogen-utilizing syntroph. To test this hypothesis, R. albus 7 and a hydrogen-utilizing bacterium, Wolinella succinogenes DSM 1740, were grown in pure culture and in co-culture. W. succinogenes uses hydrogen as an electron acceptor for fumarate respiration. Cell growth was monitored by optical density (OD600) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Metabolites were measured to observe changes caused by the interaction of the two bacteria. Lastly, RNA was extracted at mid-log phase for sequencing to compare whole genome transcriptomic profiles. Hydrogen accumulated in the R. albus pure culture, but not in the co-culture. Production of acetate increased and ethanol decreased when R. albus was grown in co-culture with W. succinogenes. Transcript abundance of HydA2 was 90-fold lower in co-culture, relative to pure culture. The electron-bifurcating hydrogenase, HydABC, had a small change in transcript abundance in co-culture relative to pure culture (1.2- to 1.3-fold increase). This suggests HydS might be sensing hydrogen levels and regulating the transcription of HydA2. These results also suggest the electron-bifurcating hydrogenase (HydABC) functions in central metabolism regardless of external hydrogen concentration. In addition, many genes in central carbon metabolism, de novo thiamin biosynthesis, and methionine transport were significantly increased.
W. succinogenes reduced all the fumarate to succinate in both the pure culture and the co-culture with R. albus. Two of the three subunits of the [NiFe]-hydrogenase in W. succinogenes had an increase in transcript abundance of 2.7-fold to 2.9-fold. The transcripts for fumarate reductase had a small increase in abundance in co-culture (1.2-fold). W. succinogenes had an increased growth rate in co-culture. Other respiratory genes in W. succinogenes had increased transcriptional abundance, including formate dehydrogenase and genes involved in nitrate reduction. Transcripts for fumarate respiration were much higher than for nitrate respiration. This is the first study to show at the genome and metabolite levels that R. albus and W. succinogenes benefit from symbiotic IHT, although formate transfer may have been occurring in co-culture as well.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Renae Geier, accepted the attached license on 2016-07-18 at 12:35.The student, Renae Geier, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-07-18 at 12:44.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-07-19 at 15:31.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9987 on 2016-11-10 at 12:20:54Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-10T18:27:55Z (GMT).

The Moths of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge: A Preliminary Assessment
No full textNorth American prairie systems are believed to have supported substantial insect biodiversity. Loss of prairie and oak savanna habitats, however, has been severe in many Midwestern states, including Iowa. An unanswered question facing land managers interested in restoring tallgrass prairies to the Iowan landscape is the degree to which restored habitats contain native insect species that are dependent upon prairie habitat. This study reports data from a preliminary survey of the moths of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, a 2,292-ha prairie and oak savanna restoration site in central Iowa. We identified and cataloged a total of 426 species of moths from woodlands and savanna sites throughout the refuge but few species appeared to be remnant-dependent. Of the 31 moth families observed from Neal Smith, the Noctuidae, Geometridae, Tortricidae, Crambidae, and Pyralidae contributed 75% of the species in our checklist. Slightly over half of the species we were able to identify were previously recorded from Iowa by a larger scale inventory of the states Lepidoptera by A. W. Lindsey. We estimated that \u3c 150 species remained to be sampled from our study sites, but a far greater number of species likely reside on the unsampled prairie reconstructions of the Refuge
"Species traits as predictors of lepidopteran composition in restored and remnant tallgrass prairies"
No full textKeith S. Summerville is a professor of Environmental Science in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at Drake University. He can be contacted at [email protected] ecologists are increasingly turning to the development of trait-filter models, which predict how evolved traits limit species membership within assemblages depending on existing abiotic or biotic constraints, as a tool to explain how species move from a regional species pool into a restored community. Two often untested assumptions of these models, however, are that species traits can reliably predict species' broadscale distribution and that the effects of traits on community membership do not vary between restored and remnant habitats. The goals of this study were to determine whether combinations of ecological traits predispose moth species toward recolonization of restored prairies and to assess the degree to which restored prairies contain moth assemblages comparable with prairie remnants. In 2004, we collected 259 moth species from 13 tallgrass prairie remnants and restorations in central Iowa. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify significant combinations of ecological traits that were shared by groups of moth species. Logistic regression was then employed to test for significant effects of the trait combinations on the frequency of prairie sites occupied by moth species. PCA partitioned moth traits into four axes that explained a total of 81.6% of the variance. Logistic regression detected significant effects for all four PCA axes on the fraction of sites occupied by moths. Species frequently filtered from the regional species pool into prairies were those that had long flight periods and were multivoltine, displayed a feeding preference for legumes but not other forb families, and were regionally abundant but relatively small in body size. Ordination revealed significant differences in moth communities among prairies, suggesting that species traits and habitat characteristics likely interact to create observed patterns of species recolonization of restorations. Thus, the optimal approach to restoring the lepidopteran fauna of tallgrass prairies may involve locating prairie plantings adjacent to habitat remnants.© 2006 by the Ecological Society of America.The project was supported by the National Research

Through Silence We Speak: Approaches to Counselling and Psychotherapy with Canadian First Nation Clients
No full textCanadian First Nations are composed of 53 different cultures. Their key forces involve a sense of community, respect for elders, and deep values and religious beliefs promoting growth. Counselling issues include assimilation, post-traumatic stress, addictions, cultural identification, health, and issues caused by societal rupture. Non-Native counsellors may be seen as unhelpful or even potentially harmful to community strengths. Counselling methods need to be based on deep respect, benefit to the community, spirituality, and values. Skills include listening in a way that gives meaning to both verbal and nonverbal messages, growth from one’s own hardships, and being helpful versus using technique.

Some Cold Hard Facts About the Common Cold • Cold viruses can live for several hours on surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, telephone receivers and computer keyboards. • A person with a cold is most likely to be conta-gious during the first three days after symptoms appear. • Cold symptoms typically last about 10 days, but they can subside in as few as three days or last as long as several weeks. • Well- controlled studies show vitamin C ( 500 milligrams four times a day) can shorten the duration of a cold, but there is no evidence to show vitamin C can prevent one. - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Utah Julian\u27s Fountain Cheers Ecuadorian Cancer Patients This fountain in Guayaquil Ecuador was proposed by Julian Maack, during a visit two years ago. When Julian Maack, director of Medical Illustration Service for the health sciences, pauses to look at the fountain in front of University Hospital, chances are he\u27s thinking of another hospital fountain a hemisphere away. The fountain in front of Instituto Oncologico Nacional in Guayaquil, Ecuador, is something of a " dream come true" for Maack, who conceived the idea during a volunteer stint there nearly two years ago and learned only recently that the Ecuador-ians had funded and built the fountain. Maack and his wife Bette, retired director of health information service for IHC hospitals in the Salt Lake Valley, went to Guayaquil under the auspices of International Executive Service Corps, a privately funded organization that sends retired professionals willing to share their expertise to other countries. Maack\u27s first assignment at the Ecuadorian hospital was to set up a medical photography department, something the 140- bed cancer institute had never had. After his proposal was approved, the necessary space and equipment were acquired and a local photographer was hired to run the department. Maack also thought a newsletter, similar to the UUHSC\u27s Pulse, would bring the staff and patients closer together. Again, he made a proposal, and a monthly newsletter is now being produced, much of the work done by the physicians them-selves. Something that bothered Maack from the first time he walked through the doors of Ecuador\u27s only cancer hospital was a certain coldness of the surroundings- it didn\u27t feel patient- friendly. The outpatient clinics were large, with as many as 400 patients waiting for appointments each day. He decided that living plants and artwork for the waiting areas would soften the atmosphere and give the patients something of beauty to take their minds off their problems. The hospital president liked Maack\u27s ideas. With the help of an interpreter, Maack began contacting nurseries to donate plants, ceramic companies for pots and art galleries for works of art. The response was overwhelming- everyone, it seemed, wanted to help. The first gallery contacted donated five paintings. A restaurant that was replacing the paintings on its walls ordered extras for the hospital. One of the physician\u27s wives, an artist and local art academy director, began painting murals on the hospital walls. And Maack had another vision for the Instituto Oncologico Nacional. A believer in holistic patient care, he dreamed of a peaceful place where patients could meditate and gather the forces of their own individual spirits to contribute to the healing process. He suggested that an outdoor fountain would be a perfect place for contemplation. Al-though his proposal was met with enthusiasm, it was not something that could be accomplished during his short time in Ecuador. When hospital personnel recently sent Maack photos of the completed fountain, beautifully integrated with the architecture of the institute itself, and accented with large pots of greenery and flowering plants at each side, he felt his dream for Maack, his wife Bette and art donor Madeleine the cancer patients of Ecuador had come true.

D., Named Recipient Of Hetzel Chair In Otolaryngology Steven D. Gray, M. D., professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery in the Department of Surgery, has been appointed recipi-ent of the C. Charles Hetzel, Jr., M. D., and Alice Barker Hetzel Presidential Endowed Chair in Otolaryn-gology. Gray has pioneered a surgical procedure that not only provides excellent results in improving vocal cord paralysis but also preserves tissue for future rehabilitation. He was a co-developer of a technique for reconstructing the trachea and larynx which is now considered the standard procedure. His research interests include laryngeal physiology, vocal cord pathophysiology, children\u27s airway disease, vocal cord reconstruction and occupation- related vocal disease. He has re-ceived national and international attention for his molecular biological approach to study of the vocal folds. Gray received his bachelor\u27s degree from Brigham Young University and his medical degree from the U. While serving a residency in otolaryngology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, he also earned a master of science degree. He completed his professional training with a fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology at Cincinnati Children\u27s Hospital. In 1990 Gray joined the U faculty, where he continued his research as principal investigator on a five- year Investigator Development Award from the National Institutes of Health ( NIH). Currently, Gray\u27s research is funded by three NIH grants. One five- year grant, 1995- 2000, focuses on reconstructing vocal cords, and a second funds research on surgical techniques for improvement of voice problems. A three- year award, to start in 1997, will support research on voice disorders in teachers and preventive programs. The Hetzel chair was established in 1986 to enhance teaching and promote research in otolaryn-gology at the medical school. James L. Parkin, M. D., former chair of the medical school\u27s Department of Surgery, was named the first C. Charles Hetzel, Jr., M. D., Professor of Surgery/ Otolaryngology in 1987. Steven D. Gray U Offers Health- Care Management Program The University has a new certificate program designed for health- care professionals who need training to move into management positions. The Health Care Management Certificate Program is a non- degree, non- credit program of study that can be com-pleted in as little as three consecutive quarters, or spread out over two or three years. The program consists of six intensive courses covering the most vital aspects of management in today\u27s changing health- care industry.

The word "virago,** wblcb dktioas-

Impudeiii. turt-uleat woman, a termagant." originally signified, both by der-
Ivatl.m and In usr. Just a manly worn
on. In the sense of a ben <l tie or atna
am, Wbeu Plautus spke of a servant
matd as a "virago." he iin*rr!\ meant
that she was a stra|>plng young « main, and tbe llomaos applied tbs word
slth no intention of trrrvrrent mde*
itesa lo Diana and Minerva. Tbr Vulgate ev*e lias "virago* simply for tso*
iti.iti. as tbe tifime given hy Adam to
his belpmatr. In Latin tbe word never became misled tato tlie uaUndly
sense tbut b-s ihiuic about In English.
