Comparative genomics of eukaryotic microorganisms: understanding the complexity of diversity

The EMBO conference on Comparative Genomics of Eukaryotic Microorganisms was held in San Feliu de Guixols, Spain, 15-22 October 2011 (see Website: http://events.embo.org/11-comparative-genomics/).

This conference addressed the big evolutionary questions of what makes a eukaryote, how multicellularity arose, the evolution of reproduction, pathogenesis, and so on. Lineages of the Eukaryotic Tree of Life (TOL) that until now received only moderate attention, such as the Excavates, Archaeoplastids, Amoebozoa and Choanozoa, were discussed, together with the better studied Chromalveolates and Fungi.

The conference was organized by Teun Boekhout (t.boekhout@cbs.knaw.nl), Amparo Querol and Ed Louis

FIELD MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

The microbial world dominates the biosphere in terms of biomass, diversity, and metabolic flexibility. This course is designed to introduce students to collecting,observing, and identifying live representatives of these fascinating microbial organisms including bacteria, protists, fungi, and microscopic animals. Students will be instructed in the taxonomy and ecology of the basic groups of micro-organisms while learning to collect them in the field for observation, experimentation and culturing. Field observations will be emphasized along with the proper use of light microscopes. Modern molecular methods including Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization will also be taught. SML is an ideal location for a course of this type due to the many habitats available including marine coastal environments, intertidal environments, and hundreds of small ponds of varying salinity, nutrient status, and oxygenation.

For complete details, please see the course announcement.

5th International Symposium on Testate Amoebae (ISTA-5)

Research on testate amoebae has been increasing exponentially in recent years. This is due largely to the fact that the analysis of testate amoebae is now a common tool in palaeoecological studies where they provide information on past changes in hydrology and other environmental conditions.Recent research has also shown that testate amoebae also play a very important role in the cycling of elements in terrestrial ecosystems and potentially interact closely with vascular plants in the rhizophere. Molecular methods are finally becoming available to study the phylogeny and taxonomy of testate amoebae, and help resolve long-standing debates on their diversity and biogeography.

Small Matters: Microbes and their Role in Conservation

The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation's Twelfth Annual Symposium, American Museum of Natural History

Meeting Website at http://cbc.amnh.org/symposia/microbes/

Symposium Theme: Microscopic organisms comprise the majority of life on Earth--and we are discovering more all the time. They play a multitude of roles in every ecosystem. While recent attention has focused on microbial involvement in spreading disease, many microorganisms are beneficial or even crucial to the sustainability of life; and yet they may be threatened by human-induced environmental change. This symposium brings together microbiologists and conservationists to raise the profile of these unseen organisms and stress the critical need to include microbes in conservation research and resource planning.

Speakers will address the broad questions of how much microbial diversity exists on the planet; how this diversity affects other organisms, both positively and negatively; and how conservation practices take microbial life into account?

Podcasts and other information from the conference are available on the Symposium Website.
