▼ Climate change is a well-known factor driving species range shifts. These shifts are often attributed to the relaxation of harsher climates at the northern range limit. Specifically, lack of cold tolerance as a constraint on range expansion at higher latitudes is one hypothesis. However, few, if any, studies have tested this hypothesis during a critical season: fall, when organisms are subjected to sporadic low temperature exposure but may not have become cold tolerant yet. In this study, I investigated the impact of low temperature on the larvae of the Giant swallowtail butterfly, Papilio cresphontes, at its northern range edge by integrating physiological experiments and species distribution modelling. First, the cold hardiness of the larvae was tested in a laboratory by determining their supercooling point, chill coma temperature and survival at three low temperatures. I found that the supercooling point was -6.6°C, that larvae use a freeze avoidant strategy, and that larvae enter a chill coma at 2.4°C. I also found that exposure to -2°C did not lead to a high rate of mortality, but that larval survival was impeded by temperatures below the SCP with temperatures below SCP (-8°C) produced high mortality (10-12% survival). Second, to determine the importance of low temperatures at a broad scale, I compared species distribution models of P. cresphontes based only on environmental data derived from other sources to models that also included the physiologically-derived parameters I generated experimentally. The modelling revealed that growing degree days and precipitation best predicted the distribution of P. cresphontes. The cold tolerance variables did not explain much variation in habitat suitability of P. cresphontes distribution. As such, the modelling results were consistent with the experimental results: low temperatures in the fall are unlikely to limit the distribution of P. cresphontes. Further investigation into the ecological relevance of the physiological thresholds determined here will improve our understanding of range expansion of P. cresphontes due to climate change. This study demonstrates that a combination of approaches provides a strong test of hypotheses related to the factors that limit species distributions.

▼ Cyrtobagous salviniae is widely used for biological control of Salvinia molesta. Despite success in tropical and subtropical regions, the effectiveness of C. salviniae on S. molesta is inconsistent in temperate regions, indicating the need for a better understanding of the thermal biology of this agent. The objectives of this study were to compare cold tolerance of C. salviniae populations from the temperate native range and Louisiana, and characterize the overwintering physiology and population dynamics of C. salviniae in Louisiana. Surveys of the Lower Paraná-Uruguay Delta resulted in the first record of C. salviniae in Uruguay, and revealed the most southern distribution of this species in Argentina and Uruguay. Survival at 0°C was 1.5-times greater, chill coma recovery time was 1.8-times faster, and SCP was 1.2-times lower in the Argentine population compared to the Louisiana population. These findings show that the Argentine provenance should be considered for managing S. molesta in temperate regions. Besides host range tests, cross breeding between the Louisiana and Argentine populations should be investigated to determine the life histories of any possible hybrid. Laboratory assays demonstrated phenotypic plasticity in the cold tolerance of populations from central and southern Louisiana when acclimated to winter conditions. Survival at 0°C was 1.8- and 1.7-times greater, critical thermal minimum was 1.2- and 1.3-times lower, and chill coma recovery time was 2.7- and 1.5-times faster in the winter treatments compared to summer treatments, for both populations (central and south, respectively). Seasonal changes in reproductive status, fat body, and water content were evident from the field study, and are speculated to contribute to the overwintering success of adults at both sites. Adult and larval densities showed that populations were most vulnerable in the late winter/early spring, presumably when water temperatures and host plant quality have not yet recovered. Seasonal monitoring of the physiological status and population dynamics should be conducted to improve the timing of releases and predicting the success of S. molesta control. In conclusion, the management of S. molesta in northern Louisiana should incorporate releases of cold tolerant populations, and seasonal monitoring of physiology and population dynamics of C. salviniae.

▼ Low temperature stress is a major constraint for rice production in temperate and high altitude areas of the world. Delayed germination coupled with reduced seedling vigor hinders crop establishment and crop growth resulting in reduced rice productivity. Mapping of chromosomal regions controlling cold tolerance will accelerate marker-assisted breeding of cold tolerant rice varieties. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population involving a rice cultivar ‘Bengal’ and a US weedy rice accession ‘PSRR-1’ was evaluated for cold tolerance at both germination and seedling stages. Observations on germinating ability and seedling vigor were recorded under both low temperature (13 °C) and optimum temperature (28 °C) at germination stage. ‘PSRR-1’ performed better than ‘Bengal’ under cold stress. Forty-nine QTL distributed over ten chromosomes were identified for 11 traits. The number of QTL varied from one to nine with phenotypic variability of each QTL ranging from 3.5 to 12.7%. For 18 QTL, ‘Bengal’ alleles were adaptable, whereas ‘PSRR-1’ alleles improved germination and seedling vigor under cold stress in 31 QTL. Three major QTL were observed for coleoptile length and seedling shoot length. The QTL were clustered in six chromosomal regions. The congruency of a QTL cluster on chromosome 11 in this study with earlier studies suggests a potential target for cloning cold tolerance genes at germination stage. Evaluation of cold tolerance at seedling stage was conducted by exposing rice seedlings at the 3rd leaf stage to 18/8 °C day/night temperature for 18 days and scoring of visual damage on a 1-9 scale. ‘Bengal’ showed higher tolerance to cold stress than ‘PSRR-1’. Twenty-three QTL for four cold tolerance traits were detected along all twelve chromosomes at seedling stage. The number of QTLs varied between four and eight per trait and each QTL contributed 2 to 42% of the total phenotypic variation. Bengal alleles increased cold stress tolerance in 10 QTL and PSRR-1 alleles in rest 13 QTLs. The most prominent one was on chromosome 11 which harbored a cluster of cold tolerance QTLs at both germination and seedling stage. This study demonstrated that weedy rice can be a valuable donor for enhancing cold tolerance in rice cultivars.

▼ This is the first study to investigate the effects of distress tolerance on safety behaviors through experimental manipulation of safety behaviors and the rationale of their use. This study hypothesized that: (1) relative to no safety behavior controls, subjects who are randomized to use safety behaviors will display poorer distress tolerance as measured by shorter immersion time (seconds) on a subsequent cold pressor challenge, (2) participants who are led to believe that the safety aid (liquid) will prevent circulation problems (threat-relevant rationale) will show increased distress tolerance (longer immersion time) in the first round but decreased distress tolerance (shorter immersion time) in the second round of the cold pressor compared to participants who used the safety aid without a threat-relevant rationale, because appraisals of threat increase when the safety behavior is removed, (3) individuals with low baseline distress tolerance will be more sensitive to the threat-relevant rationale safety behavior manipulation than those with high baseline distress tolerance. Therefore, individuals with low distress tolerance at baseline and who are assigned to use safety behaviors with a threat-relevant rationale will have a larger decline in distress tolerance (i.e. difference in immersion time) between the two challenges of the cold pressor, and (4) differences in threat appraisal between Challenge 1 (safety behaviors with threat-relevant rationale available) and Challenge 2 (no safety behaviors available) will mediate the effects on differences in distress tolerance (i.e. shorter immersion time) and emotional reactivity (i.e. negative affect) between the challenges. Inconsistent with our hypotheses, participants’ threat appraisals did not mediate the negative effects of safety behaviors on distress tolerance; the difference of immersion time was not significantly shorter during the second round of the cold pressor. Moreover, this mediation was not moderated by individuals’ levels of physical and emotional distress tolerance at baseline. Confirming previous findings, this study’s results suggest that people with low physical dispositional distress tolerance are doing worse overall when under distressing circumstances. The results also suggest that the influence of safety behaviors on dispositional distress tolerance may not impede the effectiveness of anxiety disorder treatment Advisors/Committee Members: Telch, Michael Joseph (advisor).

▼ The invertebrates that inhabit Antarctica’s terrestrial ice-free areas are a unique resource for the study of adaptations to extreme conditions and illustrate the limits to which physiology can be stretched by evolution to allow life to continue. Perhaps the most exciting result of past studies of these adaptations in the Antarctic’s terrestrial fauna was the discovery by Wharton and Ferns in 1995 of the survival of extensive intracellular freezing in the nematode Panagrolaimus davidi. Intracellular ice formation is generally considered fatal, and as the first and, so far, unique example of this adaptation in a multicellular organism, it has remained contentious. Understanding this adaptation could have important applications for cryopreservation, but research has currently been limited to this one species and based on a laboratory culture that have been isolated from its environment for over 20 years. There has been little research into the thermal tolerances of other Antarctic nematode species. This thesis explores three broad research themes in order to contribute to the understanding of adaptation in Antarctic nematodes generally, and the survival of intracellular freezing specifically. Firstly, to place their adaptations in an environmental context, the distribution of the nematode species found in two ice-free areas, around Cape Hallett in Northern Victoria Land and Gondwana station in Terra Nova Bay, is described and factors underlying their distribution patterns are investigated using regression models. Four nematode species were found: Panagrolaimus davidi, Scottnema lindsayae, Plectus murrayi and Eudorylaimus antarcticus. Their distribution patterns are correlated to both broad-scale habitat descriptors and to soil geochemistry, revealing species-specific differences in distribution patterns that are broadly consistent with other studies of these species in soils from the Dry Valleys and penguin rookeries on Ross Island. The importance of soil conductivity (as a measure of salinity) in predicting the distribution patterns of all four species supports the hypothesis that salinity plays a primary role in determining invertebrate distribution in the terrestrial Antarctic. The current environmental challenges faced by these Antarctic nematodes in their habitats are then described, providing context for laboratory investigations of their adaptations. Secondly, the survival strategies employed by these nematodes are investigated. For P. davidi the survival of intracellular freezing was found to be strongly correlated with its nutritional status, explaining some of the variation in survival rates reported in previous studies. Plectus murrayi was also found to survive intracellular ice formation, providing a second example of an organism able to employ this survival strategy. The appearance of internal ice differed markedly between these two nematode species and that in a temperate species, Panagrellus redivivus, suggesting that adaptations enabling the survival of intracellular freezing involve the… Advisors/Committee Members: Wharton, David (advisor).

▼ A protocol for cauliflower micro-propagule production was developed and optimised for both micropropagation and artificial seed production techniques using meristematic tissues from cauliflower curd. All steps in the protocol were empirically optimised including: blending, sieving, culture methods, liquid culture media composition and plant growth regulator combinations and concentrations. The cost of the micro-propagules could be reduced by as much as 50% on the initial costings reported previously since treatments doubled the number of microshoots produced per culture unit. The research confirmed the suitability of cauliflower microshoots to be encapsulated as artificial seeds and an effective protocol for microshoot encapsulation was designed through the optimization of 1) the production of cauliflower microshoots suitable for encapsulation, 2) encapsulation procedures, 3) artificial seed artificial endosperm structure, 4) conversion materials. The possibility of culturing cauliflower artificial seeds in commercial substrates such as perlite, sand, vermiculite and compost was confirmed. The use of plant preservative mixture (PPM) for the control of contamination in cauliflower culture media and artificial seeds was optimised and the effect of this material on the development of plant material was assessed. It was confirmed that cauliflower artificial seed could be stored in a domestic refrigerator for up to 6 months which could have a great impact in cauliflower breeding programmes. The huge number of cauliflower microshoots that could be produced using this protocol and the homogeneity of the culture system, provided a tool for the molecular analysis of cauliflower microshoots (and artificial seed) abiotic stress tolerance analysis. Various treatments were conducted to improve microshoot cold tolerance and the up-regulation of the CBF/DREB1 transcription factor including low temperature acclimation, mannitol, ABA (abscisic acid) and Mo (molybdenum). Microshoots were confirmed to acclimate successfully using low temperature. Mo was shown to improve the cold tolerance of cauliflower microshoots and to up-regulate CBF/DREB1 in the absence of low temperature acclimation. Acclimation did not increase the accumulation of dehydrin proteins and it is concluded that dehydrins do not play a significant role in the cold tolerance of cauliflower microshoots. Since cauliflower breeding and seed multiplication protocols make extensive use of micropropagation, the studies reported in this research could make a significant impact by decreasing the cost of micropropagation and increasing its reliability. It also opens new perspectives for further research for cauliflower artificial seed production and the possibility of sowing these seeds directly in the field. Furthermore, this research helps to facilitate cauliflower breeding programmes by improving the understanding of abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms and the relationship between different types of abiotic stresses such as cold and drought.

▼ Low temperature is one of the most limiting stresses to crops that are adapted to tropical and subtropical regions, such as maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], when introduced into temperate regions. However, no studies have compared the chilling tolerance of maize and sorghum grown together. Therefore, the objective of this research was to screen maize hybrids and sorghum genotypes for chilling tolerance at the germination and seedling stages. With the hypothesis that grain composition of maize and sorghum could lead to varying chilling tolerance, the seeds were analyzed for concentrations of protein, starch, and amylose. Five commercial hybrids of maize and 18 genotypes of sorghum were maintained in growth chambers for 31 days at two temperatures: a control temperature (25/20 °C, day/night) and at chilling temperatures (11/8 °C for 14 days; 12.5/9.5 °C for 14 days, and 14/11 °C for 3 days). Emergence and seedling height were measured during the experiment. At the end of the experiment, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and leaf area were determined. Emergence of sorghum under the chilling temperature regime was low (18%). Average height of the emerged sorghum seedlings in the cold temperatures at the end of the experiment was 1.4 cm compared to 55.5 cm in the control treatment. All maize hybrids emerged, but emergence and growth were slowed by the cold temperatures, and average height at the end of the experiment was 4.6 cm compared to 96.1 cm in the control treatment. Shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and leaf area of the sorghum under the chilling temperatures were too small to measure, and, for maize, they were greatly reduced. The results showed that, for sorghum, temperatures should be above 14 °C for emergence, while maize could emerge at lower temperatures. The analyses of the sorghum seeds showed that Redbine 60 and RTx430 had the highest protein concentrations (15.71% and 15.35%, respectively), and Segaolane had the lowest protein concentration (9.83%). Segaolane had the highest starch concentration (72.71%), and RTx430 had the lowest starch concentration (65.31%). There was an inverse relationship between protein and starch concentrations in the sorghum seeds (R2 = 0.69). Amylose concentrations did not vary significantly among the sorghum seeds. The analyses of the maize seeds showed that Dekalb 51-20 and Pioneer 1151 had the highest protein concentrations (10.98% and 10.95%, respectively), and Pioneer 1105 had the lowest protein concentration (9.26%). Starch and amylose concentrations did not vary significantly among the maize seeds. Advisors/Committee Members: S.V. Krishna Jagadish.

▼ Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is the primary choice for athletic fields and golf course fairways in the southeastern United States. Its superior heat and drought tolerance as well as excellent recuperative capacity allow it to withstand many of the stresses often associated with recreational turf. There are several new cultivars on the market with little available information regarding their performance. Six cultivars of bermudagrass, 'TifSport', 'Tifway', 'GN-1', 'Quickstand', 'Navy Blue', and 'Tifton 10' were established by sprigs on a Candor sand (Sandy, siliceous, thermic, Arenic Paleudult) at the rate of 0.1m3/100m2 on 28 June 2001 at the Sandhills Research Station in Jackson Springs, NC. During year one of the study, data were taken on establishment, rooting, disease incidence, fall color, and spring green-up of each of the six bermudagrasses. Tifton 10 demonstrated the ability to establish faster than all other cultivars based on its ranking on all observation dates followed by Quickstand and GN-1, which had five and four top rankings, respectively. No differences in rooting density were found among the six cultivars. Navy Blue exhibited significantly more dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett) incidence than all other cultivars, while GN-1 had significanctly higher incidence of Large patch (Rhizoctonia solani). During April 2002, 10.8 cm diameter plugs were taken from the field plots for the low temperature study. Sixty stolons per cultivar were excised from the plugs and placed into a Low Temperature Stress Simulator (LTSS) where they were exposed to four different temperatures of 2°C, 0°C, -2°C, and -4 °C for a period of 24 hr. No significant differences were found among cultivars in their ability to tolerate low temperatures, but mortality did increase as temperature decreased. After the field plots had achieved one year of growth, data were taken on growth characteristics such as root and rhizome mass, recuperative potential, surface hardness, seedhead production, and overall quality. No significant differences were found in root or rhizome mass among the six cultivars. Quickstand produced a harder surface than all other cultivars on 24 July, while Tifton 10, GN-1, and TifSport were the softest. TifSport consistently produced the highest turf quality of the six cultivars followed by Tifway, GN-1, and Navy Blue. Quickstand and Tifton 10 had the poorest quality over four observation dates, primarily due to their coarse texture and off-green color. Differences among these six bermudagrass cultivars imply that they may not all be suitable for the same situation. Turfgrass managers can match this data to their intended use and more accurately choose which cultivar will perform best under their specific conditions. Advisors/Committee Members: Charles H. Peacock, Committee Co-Chair (advisor), Richard J. Cooper, Committee Co-Chair (advisor), Arthur H. Bruneau, Committee Member (advisor), Mitzi Montoya-Weiss, Committee Member (advisor).

▼ The use of bioenergy has been considered one of the most important solutions for the reduction in the dependence on fossil fuels and to mitigate global climate change. C4 perennial grasses stands as the best alternative for biofuel feedstock and Miscanthus x giganteus has shown outstanding performance in cool climates. In addition, sugarcane has a history of high productivity and success in the biofuel industry of Brazil. The high photosynthetic rate at low temperature (14º to 20ºC) and radiation use efficiency of M. x giganteus allow this plant to build a vast canopy early in the spring, allowing it to intercept high amounts of solar radiation once temperature rise in summer, obtaining high yields of biomass by the end of growing season. It is unclear, however, how Miscanthus will tolerate the severe winter cold and frequent episodic frost in the spring of higher latitudes, like Canada. Here, I show that rhizomes of diploid Miscanthus can tolerate temperatures above -14ºC if sub-zero acclimation is allowed, while allopolyploid Miscanthus are tolerant to temperatures above -6.5ºC. Also, in contrary to M. sinensis, shoots of Miscanthus hybrids were killed when exposed to sunlight at temperatures below 10ºC in the spring. However, triploid Miscanthus showed great recovery and three weeks later plants had a vast and closed canopy while M. sinensis plants had a poor canopy. Lastly, I show that upland and lowland Hawaiian sugarcane grown at two moderate temperatures have little variation in temperature response and acclimation to low temperature. Because of its high productivity, Miscanthus should be considered in areas where it can securely be grown. According to the results found here, rhizomes of diploid Miscanthus have the potential to be grown up to 60ºN, but the frequency of episodic chilling events should also be taken into consideration. Here, I show that the genepool of the Miscanthus genus has the potential to increase cold tolerance in the most productive lines, which will increase the range for this crop. Sugarcane is still restricted to tropical and subtropical zones, but higher cold tolerance can be achieved by hybridizing this plant with Miscanthus.

▼ The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is an invasive insect in North America that has caused extensive damage to ash trees throughout its invaded range. The range of Fraxinus spp., specifically black ash (Fraxinus nigra) extends farther north than the known A. planipennis distribution. The ability of an insect to withstand cold, or its cold hardiness, is important in limiting its northern distribution. The cold hardiness of A. planipennis from green ash and black ash was assessed using two laboratory measures, supercooling points and lower lethal temperature, in laboratory- and naturally-infested A. planipennis larvae. Supercooling points of A. planipennis larvae from black and green ash, with medians ranging from 25.5 to 32.6°C and 24.0 to 34.2°C respectively, were not significantly different during the winters of 2012-13 and 2013-14, although the laboratory infested larvae tested in November 2011 had significantly warmer supercooling points. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the likelihood of freezing of larvae from black ash and green ash were not significantly different between tree species or between years. A high proportion of larvae died after being frozen, but freezing did not kill all larvae. Lower lethal temperatures for 50% of the population (LT50) were estimated after accounting for the proportion of larvae that would survive freezing. LT50s of larvae from green ash were 35.2°C (95% CI 35.9°C, 34.7°C) in the winter of 2012-13 and 33.4°C ( 34.1°C, 32.1°C) in the winter of 2013-14. Larvae from black ash had estimated lower lethal temperatures of 33.4°C ( 34.4°C, 32.3°C) in 2012-13 and 33.1°C (≤ 37.5°C, 35.5°C) in 2013-14. Agrilus planipennis larvae overwinter under the bark of ash trees, so larvae may not be experiencing winter air temperatures. To determine temperatures under the bark of ash trees, temperature probes were placed under the bark of both green and black ash at 1.4m high and at the base of the tree on the north and south faces. Weather stations recorded air temperature. Daily minimum temperatures under the bark of green ash ranged from 0.5 to 4.7°C warmer than daily minimum air temperatures, and temperatures were 1.2 to 5 degrees warmer under the bark of black ash. Temperatures at the base of the trees provided the most insulation, possibly due to any snow cover adding to the insulative effect of the bark. During the time in which we took measurements, the air temperature fell below 30°C for an average of 16 hours during the winter of 2012-13. Temperatures under the bark of green ash did not reach -30°C, and temperatures under the bark of black ash fell below -30°C, on average, for 2.6 hours. In 2013-14, air temperature was 30°C or colder for an average of 146.1 hours, 78.1 hours under the bark of green ash, and 118.7 hours under the bark of black ash. Because of the differences in air temperatures and temperatures under the bark of trees, we cannot use air temperature to directly predict A. planipennis mortality. Because under-bark temperatures do…

▼ Managing pests effectively and efficiently requires knowledge about their biology. Likewise, clear communication about scientific research pertaining to management is needed for managers to make well-informed decisions. My research pertains to the biology of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys and communication between scientists about insecticidal categorization. Halyomorpha halys is an exotic invasive species in North America. Many horticultural and agricultural plants in North America are at risk for economic damage due to the highly polyphagous nature of this species. Additionally, H. halys has become a serious nuisance pest in human-made structures in some areas when, in preparation for winter, they aggregate in sheltered structures. Therefore, factors such as cold and insecticides, which affect H. halys distribution and ability to cause crop injury are of particular interest to develop management plans. I first conducted several studies of cold tolerance on H. halys in North America. I found that H. halys exhibits a chill-intolerant cold tolerance strategy, that season, sex, and acclimation location affect cold tolerance (i.e., supercooling points), and that laboratory assays of lethal temperature were able to accurately forecast winter mortality in the field. Second, I studied H. halys diapause in more depth. I present a protocol for rearing diapausing H. halys in the laboratory that exhibit similar cold tolerance (i.e., supercooling points and lower lethal temperatures) as individuals with field-induced diapause. I found that H. halys diapause confers greater cold tolerance than a non-diapausing state, and appears to be necessary to survive overwintering. Additionally, I showed diapausing H. halys actively feed for at least three weeks post-diapause induction, but feeding is mediated by temperature and adult age. Third, I investigated and critiqued the current paradigm for determining insecticidal efficacy on H. halys. I highlighted important sublethal effects of insecticides on feeding that can significantly reduce crop injury without the necessity of high direct mortality to H. halys. Lastly, using an interdisciplinary lens I examined linguistic uncertainty as it pertains to categories and descriptors of insecticides. I demonstrated the presence and consequences of linguistically uncertain terms associated with insecticides and encouraged entomologists to more adequately acknowledge and address these uncertainties in future research.

▼ Climate change and species introductions are leading to shifts in marine species' geographic distributions. However, few studies have examined range limits and range shifts in tropical marine species. The barnacle Megabalanus coccopoma is native to shorelines from Baja California to Peru and has been introduced to a number of locations worldwide including the Atlantic US SE coast, where its current introduced range extends from Ft. Pierce, FL to Cape Hatteras, NC with seasonal populations as far north as Kitty Hawk, NC. In order to understand the potential poleward range limit of M. coccopoma in the US SE under modern day climate regimes, the larval and adult lower thermal tolerances were examined and larval energy budgets were used to estimate the potential extent of larval dispersal. The distribution of M. coccopoma was then surveyed within the Atlantic US SE during the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Changes in the range documented during these surveys were used to test the predictive accuracy of the species distribution model MaxEnt using data from the global range, the native range and the Atlantic US SE range. In contrast to work done with temperate species, which suggests larval thermal tolerances often set range limits, adult thermal tolerances corresponded most closely to current range limits. Larval energetic reserves may limit the extent of the seasonal range. Surveys revealed that, following the cold winter months of 2010, the range of M. coccopoma retracted down to northern Florida, rapidly re-expanded during 2011 and was re-established in its previous range by the summer of 2012. This range re-expansion is the fastest documented for any marine invertebrate and is one of the few documented for any tropical marine organism. When MaxEnt was used to predict the range retraction and range limits of M. coccopoma, only the MaxEnt model trained on the US SE data was able to accurately predict both the range retraction and range limits prior to the range retraction. Consideration of the range limiting mechanism(s) and spatial variation in the mechanism(s) is fundamentally important in accurately predicting range limits and even more so in predicting range shifts. In many marine species, and particularly in tropical species, lower limits to functionality and cumulative chill damage are likely the mechanisms responsible for setting poleward range limits at above freezing temperatures. Limited selection in tropical marine species for the ability to acclimate to cold temperatures may result in more ephemeral range expansions when compared to temperate species when both are moving poleward.

▼ The La Crosse virus (LACV) is an emerging pathogen in the Appalachian region of the United States. The virus maintains a complex natural cycle through horizontal transmission with sciurid rodents and Aedes mosquitoes in Virginia. Transovarial transmission also occurs in this host-parasite system and has evolved for the virus to persist through winter. The virus perpetuates in diapause induced embryos and infects naive rodents the following spring. As global temperatures rise, it is imperative we evaluate how the virus and its vectors overwinter. We conducted experiments to evaluate and determine the diapause induction, or prediapause stage, in Aedes japonicus japonicus, and the ecophysiology and low temperature biology of how LACV affects Aedes triseriatus and Aedes albopictus embryos at low temperatures. We found that the prediapause stage of Ae. j. japonicus is the maternal stage, the developing adult female that lays diapause eggs. This more closely resembles Ae. albopictus and not Ae. triseriatus. As measured in the field and laboratory, LACV has a clear negative effect on the ability of Ae. triseriatus and Ae. albopictus to survive the winter. There was no major effect of LACV infection on the ability of these two species to enter diapause or their critical photoperiods, but there was a significant negative effect of LACV infection on survivorship of embryos that were placed in their natural habitat and in their susceptibility to low temperatures. LACV infection had a more significant negative effect on Ae. albopictus than on Ae. triseriatus and suggests that Ae. albopictus is a subordinate vector relative to Ae. triseriatus in the maintenance of the virus over the winter season. Our findings highlight the need for the increased surveillance of LACV as temperatures continue to rise due to climate change. Advisors/Committee Members: Paulson, Sally L.

▼ Given that plants are sessile organism, they are continuously challenged by both biotic and abiotic stresses in natural and agricultural conditions which they are forced to acclimate or adapt. One of the major abiotic stressors affecting plant growth and development, and thereby limiting distribution of plants and crop production, is low temperature. It is estimated that crop yield is affected by cold stress in 57% of the global land area. To study the ecology and evolution of cold tolerance in plants, Hall's panicgrass (Panicum hallii), a perennial C₄ grass native to North America, was used to investigate cold tolerance due to its adaptation to diverse environments across its natural distribution. Three approaches were followed in this study: 1. The genetic diversity and population structure as well the response to cold stress were evaluated in samples collected across the natural distributions of the species. 2. Then, genomic regions associated to response to cold temperatures were found by QTL analysis of a RIL population. 3. Finally, a global transcriptome analysis was conducted in a set of selected phenotypes to identify candidate genes involved in cold responses. For the population genetic approach, we evaluated the genomic and morphological diversity as well as the genetic structure of the C₄ grass Panicum hallii using ddRAD molecular approaches. We found strong genetic and morphological divergence between varieties and strong genetic structure between the seven populations that was strongly correlated with geological and ecological conditions. Following the genetic diversity analyses, we utilized QTL and global gene expression approaches to determine the early chilling stress transcriptome response of P. hallii. This analysis revealed 16 genes occurring within a major QTL interval and exhibiting expression responses. Six genes were previously associated with responses to cold stress in studies with other plant species, and five genes were identified with unknown functions. Accordingly, the results here not only aid in the discovery of the genetic mechanism that underline local adaptation but also provide a foundation to improve switchgrass yield under cold conditions Advisors/Committee Members: Juenger, Thomas (advisor), Jha, Shalene (committee member), Lowry, David B (committee member), Linder, Randy (committee member), Roux, Stan (committee member).

▼ When challenged by brief exposure to sub-lethal stresses, insects and other small ectotherms can make physiological adjustments that enhance their stress tolerance within minutes. Through these rapid acclimatory responses, insects adjust their physiology to track ambient conditions and counter the negative effects of perturbation by abiotic stresses. Although rapid acclimation is best studied as a response to brief chilling, diverse environmental cues, including high temperature, dehydration, and anoxia trigger similar responses. Further, recent evidence suggests that different cues for rapid acclimation trigger distinct mechanistic responses. This dissertation investigated the underpinning physiology and ecological importance of these diverse rapid acclimatory responses in three species of flies.The first project compared the physiological mechanisms triggered by brief chilling and dehydration in larvae of the freeze-tolerant goldenrod gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis. Chilling produced solute accumulation in larval hemolymph and caused the activation of the second messenger p38 MAP kinase, while dehydration caused a redistribution of body water without significant accumulation of solutes and activated both p38 and Erk1/2 MAP kinase. Additionally, though neither treatment differed from control treatments, larvae that were chilled for 2 h maintained a higher metabolic rate at low temperatures than those that were dehydrated.The second project examined the effects that brief chilling and dehydration have on flight performance and fecundity in the flesh fly Sarcophaga bullata. Both triggers for rapid acclimation enhanced distance flown, peak velocity, increased flight time under stressful conditions, and preserved reproductive output. These results suggest that rapid acclimation helps insects to maintain basic behaviors when faced with stress in nature.The final project investigated the effects of brief exposure to diverse abiotic stresses in larvae of the Antarctic midge, Belgica antarctica. These larvae increased their tolerance of freezing after just 2 h of exposure to sub-lethal temperature extremes, osmotic perturbation, acidic and alkaline conditions, UV irradiation, and starvation. Thus, rapid acclimatory responses can be triggered by many more abiotic stresses than were previously recognized.In summary, diverse abiotic stresses trigger rapid acclimatory responses that enhance stress tolerance in ecologically relevant ways.

▼ Angiosperms originated during a prolonged climatic greenhouse, and their early fossil record comes exclusively from low paleolatitudes. Thus, the ancestral ecological niche of flowering plants was most likely tropical. Tropical origins have shaped the subsequent ecological boundaries and evolutionary opportunities faced by descendents of these ancestors. This has had profound consequences for the subsequent diversification and ecology of this large and important group. Here, these consequences are explored from three different points of view, and at three different scales, with the goal of understanding the evolution of freezing-tolerant clades and the traits that facilitate their survival.Chapter 1 begins with a broad view of angiosperm evolution, encompassing the entire clade at a global scale. It uses phylogenetically independent contrasts to test the relative contributions of area, latitude, and climate to diversification patterns through time. The analysis shows that expansions in latitudinal range, rather than expansions in total area, are the strongest correlate of increased diversification through the history of this clade. Phylogenetically independent results are then compared with present-day patterns. The present-day latitudinal diversity gradient is demonstrated to be the result of a tropical origin rather than intrinsically higher speciation rates in the tropics.The origin of the pattern seen in Chapter 1 is explored in Chapter 2, by examining whether greater functional diversity occurs in wet tropical environments, which are the putative ancestral niche of flowering plants, or through adaptation to seasonal environments. Three different rainforest sites in Australia are studied. A wet tropical community is contrasted with two seasonal communities: one which is seasonally dry, and another which is seasonally cold. A link between seasonality and increased functional diversity is demonstrated for traits relating to water use and cold tolerance. A new method is presented for testing the relative contribution of phylogenetic niche conservatism to shifts in trait means between communities. This method is used to demonstrate that, in these three forests, traits relating to successional status are conserved, while traits relating to water used and cold tolerance are evolutionarily labile.In Chapter 3, a specific hypothesis about the origins of cold tolerance is presented. It is argued that seasonally dry environments could provide an evolutionary stepping stone between wet tropical and temperate environments, based on a known link between molecular mechanisms of drought and freezing acclimation. Individuals from seven eudicot clades are collected from the same system of wet tropical, dry tropical, and temperate forests used in Chapter 2. On being subjected to a controlled freezing profile, plants from the dry tropical forest show considerably more resistance to damage than their relatives from the wet tropical environment. This demonstrates that acclimation to drought is a plausible pathway for the evolution of…

▼ The annual Zea mays ssp. mexicana L., a member of teosinte, has strong growth and regeneration ability, high tiller numbers, high protein and lysine content as well as resistance to many fungal diseases. It is a close wild relative of maize thus it can be effectively used in maize improvement. Most lines of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. originated at high altitude in northern and central Mexico with a large spikelet and are adapted to acid soil. Since the best temperature for growing Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. ranges from 25 °C to 35 °C, it is considered to be more sensitive to cold/drought than to high temperature, especially during germination and early autotrophic growth stages. This project set out to detect the cold and/or drought tolerance of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L., using bioinformatics, gene functions and physiological features contributing to both stresses. The aims were to provide an effective approach to understand the responses of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. to low temperature and drought. The understanding of molecular mechanisms for cold/drought tolerance can also help distinguish Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. from other tropical or temperate plants as well as provide useful references in improving abiotic stress tolerance of maize. In a transcriptome study, we generated a seedling plant transcriptome at a sequencing size of 51.78 Gb of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. under stress free, cold or drought stress conditions. A total of 414,232,462 high quality clean reads were used to conduct de novo assembly and annotation of genes without reference genome information. All of these reads were assembled into 251,145 transcripts (N50 = 1,269 bp) and 184,280 unigenes (N50 = 923 bp). A total of 3,504 up-regulated and 1,220 down-regulated genes were detected under cold stress and 532 up-regulated and 82 down-regulated genes were detected under drought stress. A total of 208 genes were affected by both cold and drought stresses. Examination of these genes suggested that the ABA dependent pathway, trehalose synthetic pathway and the CBF6 gene of the ICE1-CBF pathway may play important roles in both stress tolerances of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. Compared with the maize transcriptome database, GAs of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. showed significant differences in regulating the responses to cold. These important functional genes identified in this study and the information on molecular mechanisms for cold and drought tolerance can provide useful references in improving abiotic stress tolerance of maize. In gene functional studies, ZmmICE1 and ZmmSIZ2, two important cold related genes, were cloned and isolated from a cDNA library of RNA-Seq from cold-treated seedling tissues of Zea mays ssp. mexicana L. ZmmICE1, a novel MYC-type ICE-like transcription factor gene, enhanced freezing tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. As a novel transcription factor, the ZmmICE1 protein localized in the nucleus and showed sumoylation when expressed in an Escherichia coli reconstitution system. ZmmICE1 showed ICE1-family characteristics,…

▼ Water and ion homeostasis has emerged as an important factor limiting chill-susceptible insects at low temperatures; loss of this homeostasis in the cold likely contributes to chronic chilling injury, and reestablishment of homeostasis is required for recovery from chilling. Both plastic and interspecific variation in cold tolerance correlates with enhanced defense of water and ion homeostasis during cold exposure, however the mechanisms are poorly understood. Using Gryllus crickets, I generated and tested hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying this variation in transport function. I first related interspecific variation in cold tolerance to water and ion balance in early chill coma. A rapid influx of Na+ to the hemolymph suggests that Na+ first leaks from the tissues, and could drive migration of Na+ and water to the gut. Gryllus veletis (a more cold-tolerant species) may avoid or slow this Na+ leak by maintaining lower hemolymph Na+ content and lower osmotic pressure between the gut and hemolymph, compared to G. pennsylvanicus. Plasticity in defense of water and ion homeostasis during cold exposure is thought to involve enhanced active transport function and/or decreased permeability of ionoregulatory tissues. Using G. pennsylvanicus I identified specific candidate mechanisms related to these transport function modifications by comparing the hindgut and Malpighian tubule transcriptomes of warm- and cold-acclimated individuals. Cold acclimation modified the expression of hindgut and Malpighian tubule ion transporters, and hindgut structural (cytoskeletal and cell junction) genes. Rectal macromorphology and rectal pad scalariform complex ultrastructure were unchanged (suggesting that modified permeability does not involve these structural elements), however cytoskeletal modifications do protect rectal pad actin stability during cold shock. Cold acclimation decreases excretion rate (i.e. active transport) across the Malpighian tubules, which may be driven by modified activity of Na+-K+ ATPase but not of V-ATPase. Increased expression of hindgut Na+-K+ ATPase did not alter the activity of this enzyme in the rectum. Overall I show that cold acclimation modifies active transport function in the Malpighian tubules and modifies rectal pad structure to enhance cytoskeletal stability during cold exposure.
