▼ The Eastern Olympus Mons Basal Scarp (EOMBS) is conditionally stable when the edifice contains pore fluid, and critically stable, or in failure, when the edifice contains a dipping-overpressured-confined aquifer and mechanical sublayer at depth. Failure of the fault bounded portion of the flank results in estimated volumes of material ranging from 5600–6900km3, or 32–39% of the estimated volume of the “East” Olympus Mons aureole lobe. We suggest that the EOMBS faults may be an expression of early stage flank collapse and aureole lobe formation. Ages of deformed volcano adjacent plains indicate that this portion of the edifice may have been tectonically active at <50Ma, and may be coeval with estimated ages of adjacent outflow channels, 25–40Ma. This observation suggests that conditions that favor flank failure, such as water at depth below the edifice, existed in the relatively recent past and potentially could drive deformation to the present day. Coupled 3D mantle convection and planetary tectonics models are used to explore the links between tectonic-regimes, the level of internal heating (Q) within the mantle, planetary surface-temperature, and planetary lithospheric-strength. At high and low values of Q, for moderate to high yield, hot and cold single-plate planets prevail. For intermediate Q, multiple stable tectonic-states exist. In this parameter space, the specific evolutionary path of the system has a dominant role in determining its tectonic state. For low to moderate lithospheric yield strength, mobile-lid behavior (a plate tectonic-like mode of convection) is attainable for high degrees of internal heating (i.e., early in a planet’s thermal evolution). This state is sensitive to climate driven changes in surface-temperatures. Relatively small increases in surface-temperature can be sufficient to usher in a transition from a mobile- to a stagnant-lid regime. Once stagnant, a return to mobile-lid is not attainable by a reduction of surface-temperatures alone. For lower levels of Q, the tectonic regime becomes less sensitive to surface-temperature changes. These results indicate that terrestrial planets can alternate between multiple tectonic-states over giga-year timescales. Within parameter space regions that allow for bi-stable behavior, any model-based prediction as to the current mode of tectonics is inherently non-unique in the absence of constraints on the geologic and climatic histories of a planet.

▼ Evolution has traditionally been seen as an open-ended, adirectional process. However, the ubiquity of convergent evolution instead suggests that a hierarchy of physical and biological constraints shape evolution. This thesis examines the empirical evidence for convergent evolution's impact on macroevolutionary patterns. One corollary of convergent evolution is the tendency for animal groups to reach maximum morphological disparity early in their evolutionary histories. An analysis of plants confirms that bottom heavy disparity profiles (Centre of Gravity < 0.5) are not unique to animals. This pattern is most easily explained by character exhaustion, with repetition of character states becoming increasingly probable as evolutionary time increases. However, in a sample of 93 extinct clades, no correlation between character exhaustion and disparity profile shape was found. Instead, ecological or genetic constraints likely limit organism form. Convergent evolution can introduce noise to morphological phylogenies. Anecodotal evidence in mammals shows molecular phylogenies are more congruent with biogeography than their morphological forbears, suggesting ecological constraint could be driving morphological convergence which confounds phylogeny. Similar patterns are common in other clades. In a systematic study of 48 plant and animal clades, the significant majority (70%) of molecular trees were more consilient with biogeographical distributions than their morphological counterparts. Genetic constraint might also limit evolutionary possibility and drive convergent evolution. If so, genome duplications, by introducing genetic redundancy, are expected to be associated with evolutionary novelty and diversification. An analysis of 356 sister clade pairs shows polyploids contain significantly more species than their non-polyploid counterparts. Whilst a direct link between morphological and genetic constraints has yet to be identified genetic constraints are likely to play an important role in the diversification of species. Finally, the importance of these findings for the study of convergent evolution and evolutionary processes in general is discussed, along with future lines of research.

▼ Plasmids encode an extraordinary range of adaptive functions, including antibiotic resistances, virulence factors and degradative enzymes. Plasmids also mediate horizontal gene transfer, which impacts evolution of bacterial chromosomes. Despite their important ecological and evolutionary roles, we lack a comprehensive picture of the variation and evolution of plasmids themselves. In this dissertation, I investigated the natural variation of large plasmids on two different scales: 1. individual plasmid sequences from Gram-negative and -positive bacteria and 2. total plasmid content of E. coli and Salmonella reference collections. For the sequence-based studies, I sequenced four large plasmids from E. coli, Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium. Whereas 98% of the E. coli plasmid was highly similar to other plasmid sequences, 40-60% of the three Gram-positive plasmids had no apparent similarity to known sequences. The E. coli plasmid’s backbone, which encodes “core” functions such as replication, was almost identical to that of a Salmonella enterica sv Typhimurium plasmid. Subsequent analysis identified this backbone in five other enterobacterial plasmids. All seven plasmids differed in accessory gene content, leading to variation in plasmid-encoded phenotypes. For the collection-based studies, I analyzed 228 E. coli and Salmonella strains from four reference collections. Plasmids, especially large plasmids, were abundant. Replicon typing identified two common families, IncF and IncI1, by the presence of characteristic backbone genes. At least 20% of strains with large plasmids in each collection were untypable, suggesting variation in plasmid backbones. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis showed high variation in large plasmid genomes. The majority of E. coli and Salmonella large plasmids (87.5% and 56%, respectively) had unique RFLP patterns. The lack of widespread RFLP patterns suggested that the prevalence of IncF and IncI1 is due to similar backbone genes on otherwise different plasmids. The only exception was the IncFII virulence plasmid pSLT, which was detected in multiple Typhimurium strains from different hosts and geographic locations, suggesting that virulence plasmids evolve differently from other plasmids. These results show that plasmid evolution is a significant force shaping the horizontal gene pool. Rather than existing as static elements, plasmids are dynamic and flexible genetic scaffolds driving gene flux in host bacteria. Advisors/Committee Members: Anne O. Summers.

▼ Although the emergence of a novel pathogen from an existing virus (or viruses) may be a multi-faceted process involving many interdependent viral, host, and/or environmental factors, the fundamental catalyst is genetic variation of the virus. For recombination and reassortment, both mechanisms involve the direct exchange of genetic material from two (or more) parental viruses, such that the novel virus is a genetic chimera of the parental viruses. For the recombinant or reassortant to replicate efficiently, be packaged and assembled correctly, and subsequently be competently transmitted in nature, the genetic elements derived from each parental virus must be structurally and functionally compatible in order for the novel virus to be viable. In the research on recombination in alphaviruses and reassortment in orbiviruses presented here, findings suggest this to be case, as both examples reinforce the notion that the genetic and/or structural compatibility between the parental viruses was likely a prerequisite for the emergence of the novel virus(es). In the two following examples of viral evolution involving overprinting and mutation, the emergence of the novel virus or variant was not dictated by the exchange of genes from different parental viruses, but rather by a change in existing sequence. For overprinting in rhabdoviruses, this involved the de novo synthesis of a novel protein through the use of an overlapping reading frame, thus increasing the coding capacity of the virus without incorporating any additional genetic elements. In the case of mutation in parvoviruses, the change in existing sequence allowed the new virus variant to jump species, thereby expanding the host range of the virus. In the description of the viruses presented within, genetic variability, whether through the process of change (overprinting or mutation) or exchange (recombination or reassortment), resulted in the emergence of a novel virus that was not only altered genetically, but also resulted in changes in the pathogenicity, antigenicity, ecology, and/or epidemiology of the virus relative to the parental virus(es), thereby shaping the evolutionary pathway of each novel virus.

▼ From the time Darwin first published his book, The Origin of Species, there has been conflict. Casualties of the conflict are, perhaps, most highly noticed in terms of edification in our schools, but the consequences expand to a much larger scale. While most school systems claim to support national and state mandated science standards and accept the principles of evolution there are many schools, and certainly individual teachers, who limit their instruction of evolution or do not teach it at all. There is evidence to support a lack of understanding of evolution as well as a lack of understanding of the nature of science on the part of teachers. This study is designed to investigate the level of acceptance of evolution as a topic to be taught and to determine why there is delineation at a point where it is not accepted. Of great interest is the relationship between the acceptance of evolution and understanding of the nature of science by the teacher. More specifically, this study looks at (a) how understanding the nature of science affects a teacher’s acceptance of evolution; (b) how understanding the nature of evolution affects a teacher’s acceptance of evolution; (c) how a change in the understanding of the nature of science affects a teacher’s acceptance of evolution; (d) to what extent teachers understand evolution and the nature of science; (e) how understanding the nature of science affects a teacher’s willingness to teach evolution. This study is a product of personal interest and professional concern for a documented problem in science education. There have been studies directed at measuring the understanding of the nature of science as well as those measuring acceptance of evolution. This study combines the two concerns using both quantitative and qualitative data to illustrate that further understanding of the nature of science contributes to understanding and acceptance of evolution and willingness to teach evolution and it makes available some reasons why.

▼ IRC+10420 is a massive (> 20M☉), very luminous (> 〖10〗^6L☉) star that is in the rare phase of evolution from the red supergiant to the luminous blue variable or Wolf-Rayet phase. Previous observations reveal that the circumstellar envelope is rich in molecular gas, and can be detected out to a radius of about 8” = 6.0 X 〖10〗¹⁷ cm. Observations in CO also reveal that the global massloss rate of IRC+10420 has changed dramatically over the last 6000 years, comprising two major episodes of mass loss lasting for about 1000 and 4000 years respectively separated by period of very low mass-loss rate lasting for about 1000 years. Surprising, previous observation in SiO(J = 2 - 1) revealed a ring-like enhancement at a radius of about 1” (7.5X 〖10〗¹⁶ cm) from the star, contrary to the expectation that SiO molecules should be frozen onto dust grains very close to the star (within ～〖10〗^16cm). This ring-like enhancement has been attributed to a large-scale shock produced by interactions between faster and slower moving portions of the expanding envelope. In this thesis, we mapped the circumstellar envelope in SiO(J = 1 - 0) to better constrain the physical conditions (gas density, temperature and SiO abundance) in the SiO-emitting gas. We find a similar ring-like enhancement in SiO(J = 1 - 0) but located further out at a radius of about 2” (1.5 X 〖10〗¹⁷ cm), and confirm that the SiO emission extends as far out as the CO envelope. The computed SiO(J = 2-1)/SiO(J = 1-0) line ratio significantly exceeds unity at radius out to about the location of the ring-like enhancement (2”), and drops to a value of about unity beyond this radius. From a one-dimensional non-local thermodynamic equilibrium model, we explore the physical conditions that can reproduce the observed brightness temperatures in both SiO(J = 10) and SiO(J = 2-1) as well as their line ratio as a function of radius. The SiO-emitting gas is required to have a density that is much higher (from a factor of a few to about two orders of magnitude) than has been inferred for the CO-emitting gas at the same radii. The required surface filling factor of the SiO-emitting gas depends on their unknown gas-phase SiO abundance; for an abundance of ～〖10〗^(-5), as inferred just above the photospheres of lowmass evolved stars, the surface filling factor of these condensations range from ～0.001 to ～0.1. Thus, the SiO emission from the envelope of IRC+10420 most likely originates from dense condensations that are immersed in more diffuse gas that produces the bulk of the observed CO emission. We reason that the SiO-emitting condensations correspond to the dust clumps detected in reflected light with the Hubble Space Telescope. These dust clumps are distributed from near the star out to a radius of 2”, spanning the same extent as the peaks of SiO- (and CO-) emitting envelope. We show that these dust clumps are expanding in every direction away from the stars at a velocity that is significantly higher than the CO-emitting gas, and anticipate that shocks thus generated heats up the dust… Advisors/Committee Members: Lim, JJL.

▼ Observation of self assembly of clusters of cells in three dimensions has raised questions about the forces that drive the changes in shape of the cell clusters and the stability of the clusters formed. Cells that self-assemble into a toroidal cluster about the base of a conical pillar have been experimentally observed to spontaneously climb the conical pillar. In other cases, toroidal clusters do not climb the pillar but, instead, they may undergo localized thinning at one or more cross-sections around the circumference of the cluster.Assuming that cell cluster reorganization is due solely to surface diffusion, a mathematical model based on thermodynamics of an isothermal dissipative system is presented. The model shows that the cluster can reduce its surface area by climbing the conical pillar but at the expense of increasing its gravitational potential energy. As a result, the kinetics of the climb is affected by parameters that influence this energy competition such as the slope of the conical pillar or the surface mobility of the diffusing cells. The development of localized deformations in clusters that do not climb the conical pillar is examined by means of a linear stability analysis wherein a nominally uniform toroidal cluster has its shape perturbed by a periodic perturbation in its minor radius. Analysis reveals that the cluster is stable if the surface energy density is spatially uniform. However, if the surface energy density is allowed to vary from point to point around the circumference of the toroid, unstable configurations may develop. The stability of the cluster is observed to depend on its initial minor radius, the radius of the conical pillar and the wave number of the applied sinusoidal perturbation. A stability analysis of nominally cylindrical bodies which evolve in shape due to surface diffusion was then carried out to understand the role of nonlinearity in the stability criteria in such bodies. This analysis may serve as a basis for a future study of the stability of toroidal clusters or toroidal shapes beyond the range of linear behavior.

▼ Evolutionary events have potentially dramatic implications for organisms. I took advantage of an evolutionary event, the loss of a sexual signal in the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus, to elucidate the potential consequences of such a change. In some Hawaiian populations, males possess a wing mutation, flatwing, that precludes song production, rendering them obligately silent. Signal loss has the effect of altering the acoustic landscape experienced by all crickets, representing a change in the social environment. Previous studies indicate that the lack of acoustic input alters several phenotypic traits, perhaps by changing perceived population density. I investigated the role of the acoustic environment in mediating male reproductive investment and aggressive behavior. Males reared in song-dense environments, representing populations with many rivals, invested more in the ejaculate but were less aggressive than males from silent environments. In addition, because flatwing males lack the ability to produce song, they face difficulties in attracting mates, since females locate males by responding to calling song. In some other species with multimodal communication, individuals may compensate for the temporary loss of a signal modality by switching to or increasing the use of an alternative, pre-existing modality. Communication in my study species involves acoustic and chemical cues, so I predicted that males lacking the ability to produce song would compensate by producing more attractive chemical cues. A female-response assay showed that females responded to chemical cues from both normal-winged and flatwing males, but did not exhibit a preference for either, indicating that flatwing males do not compensate for a lack of song with chemical cues.Further, on the Hawaiian islands, calling males are subject to lethal parasitism from an acoustically-orienting North American parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea, and males in parasitized populations do not live as long as males from unparasitized populations. Given that flatwing males are unable to produce song and are thus protected from parasitism from O. ochracea, I predicted that flatwing males would have a greater average age than their normal-winged counterparts in the same population. Contrary to my predictions, flatwing males were not older than normal-winged males.

▼ Star formation in the Cam OB1 region is investigated. Star formation, in general, is considered in terms of three elements: a) the structural relationship between the parent molecular clouds and newly formed stars, b) the temporal evolution of the parent molecular clouds, and c) the probability of the occurrence of star formation. Star formation in Cam OB1 over the range in l and b considered in this work, is concentrated in the vicinity of Cam R1 and appears to have led to the formation of three distinct stellar groups: a) Group I. formed ~ 1 - 50 x 106 yr ago, and located spatially and kinematically between two CO complexes, b) Group II. formed ~ 1 - 3 x 106 yr ago. and coincident with one of the previously mentioned complexes, and c) Group III. the youngest group, formed ~ I - 20 x 104 yr ago, and located at the current point of intersection between the two complexes in (a). The mass function (MF) for Groups I and II is similar to the cloud mass function of the parent molecular clouds, i.e. a power-law with exponent α ~ 2. A similar analysis for the Group III stars and associated molecular clouds cannot be performed due to the relatively small numbers in both samples. The star forming efficiency (SFE) in all cases is ~ 1%. It is proposed that cloud-cloud collisions between the CO complexes in the region triggered the formation of Groups I and III, while Group II was produced by a shock induced by the radiation pressure and stellar winds from the stars in Group I. An analysis of the molecular cloud structure in Cam OB1 and the background Perseus arm also shows that the clouds in both regions are turbulent, and typical of clouds seen elsewhere in the Galaxy. However, the clouds in Cam OB1 show a large dispersion in the degree with which they are self-gravitating, with the larger, warmer clouds being gravitationally bound. The principal data set for this work comprises fully sampled [special characters omitted] observations of the western half of Cam OB1, which were obtained at the Center for Astrophysics during the winter of 1992-1993. These data have an effective resolution of 10', a velocity resolution of 0.65 km s-1, and a sensitivity of 0.115 K. High resolution (20") observations of the [special characters omitted] transition of the most active star forming region were obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope during the winter of 1994-1995. These observations led to the discovery of a second outflow. AFGL 490 – iki, associated with IRAS 03234+5843, in the immediate vicinity of the very well-studied molecular outflow AFGL 490. Additional observations of the [special characters omitted], taken with the 26m telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory during the fall of 1994, did not reveal any such masering activity in the Cam OB1 region, but did lead to the discovery of a new maser, associated with IRAS 02455+6034. in the background Perseus arm.

▼ This thesis attempts to examine the use of pre-Darwinian evolutionary concepts in Victorian poetry by concentrating on the works of Tennyson, who gave fuller expression to them than any of his contemporaries. Works by other poets are examined for significant comparisons and contrasts with his; various works by Browning, Bailey, Arnold, and Bell Scott receive particular attention. The introduction distinguishes between Darwin's theory and pre-Darwinian evolutionary schemes, finding the latter to be characterized by the notions of teleology, progressivism, and vertical hierarchy. The historical development of evolutionism is traced from its origins in Romantic theories of the organic unity of nature, and the major varieties of considered positions on the subject available to a poet in the early nineteenth century are enumerated. Tennyson's early work is shown to develop from a basically static, non-evolutionary world-picture to a progressive one, making use of images of development drawn from embryology, astronomy, and reincarnation. The stages of composition of In Memoriam reveal the impact of Lyell, who emphasized the struggle for existence and necessary extinction, and later of Chambers, who proposed a concept of the progressive transformation of species. It is proposed that Tennyson found in Chambers' theory a way of transcending the bleak world-picture offered by Lyell, by uniting it with his conception of a spiritual reality behind (not immanent in) the material world. The final arrangement of In Memoriam develops the idea of evolution as the progress of the natural world toward the spiritual, a position analogous to a number of poetic and philosophical trends in the early nineteenth century. This process of evolution can be voluntarily aided by "typing" the higher, emergent forms in one's own life. Expanding on this notion, Tennyson's poetry of the late 1340's and 1350's demands the conscious participation of human society in the shaping of a higher being. With this development, Tennyson's philosophy of evolution is substantially complete. His later works reveal a gradual attenuation of his immediate hopes for the process, pushing the improvement of the species into the increasingly distant future, but remaining consistently meliorist; otherwise, his principle continues to be the one set forth in In Memoriam. The study concludes with a brief examination of Darwin's influence on later poets, showing it to have been generally confused and the result of misinterpretation.

Ce travail a pour objectif de proposer des méthodes pour améliorer la compréhension des processus d’évolution de la Loire moyenne sur quelques décennies. L’analyse des évolutions morphologiques est réalisée en découpant le secteur d’étude en tronçons géomorphologiquement homogènes. Une diminution de la pente et une réduction de la largeur de la bande active entre 1955 et 1996 sont observées. Suite à l’arrêt des extractions (1996),les ajustements se poursuivent de façon plus modérés.Des simplifications géométriques et hydrologiques sont ensuite introduites dans un modèle de transport solide unidimensionnel (RubarBE) afin d’être comparées aux résultats obtenus avec lag éométrie détaillée et la chronique de débit complète. La géométrie simplifiée permet une modélisation des évolutions du lit pertinente tout en réduisant le temps de calcul ; la simplification des chroniques de débit illustre la sensibilité des modèles numériques hydro-sédimentaires à l’hydrologie. Enfin, l’application des simplifications sur l’ensemble de la Loire moyenne sur la période 1996-2006 confirme les tendances observées par l’analyse des données.

This work deals with the development of methods that sought to assess channel changes of a long anthropogenised river over several decades. These methods are applied on the Middle Loire River (France). Channel changes are evaluated by dividing the study reach into geomorphically distinct river reaches. A narrowing of the active channel width and a decrease of the river bed slope were observed between 1955 and 1996. Since in stream gravel mining stopped (1996), river adjustments have continued at a slower rate. Simplified geometry and simplified hydrographs are then derived and introduced into a one dimensional sediment transport model (RubarBE). The simplified geometry allows pertinent calculation of the river bed evolution whilst reducing calculation time. The use of simplified hydrographs highlights the sensitivity of sediment transport modelling to hydrology. Finally, the application of the simplifications to the whole Loire Moyenne River confirms the general trend observed between 1996 and 2006.

▼ In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognised as important genetic regulators of gene expression in Animals and Plants. They can potentially target a large fraction of the cellular transcriptome, having been shown to be important for diverse biological processes such as development, cell differentiation, proliferation and metabolism. The publication of the Human genome in 2001 marked the start of a great community effort to sequence a variety of other species. These data have great potential for comparative genomics, that can lead to better biological understanding. Some miRNA families are known to be highly conserved, across long evolutionary distances, many found in co-transcribed clusters across the genome. While these phenomena have been previously reported, a large-scale analysis of evolutionary patterns was still lacking. Furthermore, the rate at which new relevant data is being made available makes it challenging to keep up and many of the evolutionary studies performed before are now significantly out of date. This thesis describes a number of approaches taken to analyse miRNA datasets, harnessing the full potential of currently available data for comparative genomics. These were used, not only to revisit many of the notions in the field with a larger and updated dataset, but also to develop novel strategies that enable a coherent view of miRNA evolution at different evolutionary time-scales. A new tool, described within this thesis, was developed for large-scale, species independent miRNA mapping. An assessment of the evolution of the miRNA reper- toire across species was performed, together with detailed sequence conservation analysis and miRNA family clustering. Phylogenetic profile analysis uncovered in- teresting co-evolution between miRNAs and protein coding genes. The genomic organisation of miRNAs and their conservation across species was also studied, pro- viding detailed conserved synteny maps for miRNAs and proteins across more than 80 species. Finally, at the intra-specific level, I analysed the occurrence of single nucleotide polymorphisms affecting miRNA loci or their predicted target sites. All the tools built and integrated in this research were made available to the community and designed to be easily updated, making it easier to keep up with the data that is constantly being made available. Many aspects of miRNA biology are still being uncovered, and the ability to easily put these findings into an evolutionary context will potentially be useful for the community.

▼ This dissertation develops and tests theories on identity-based resource partitioning in the context of the German electricity market after deregulation in 1998. I apply insights from the recent theoretical development on organizational identity and pay special attention to the roles of audience heterogeneity which is observed through the lens of geography. Based on both theoretical arguments and field evidence, I detail the process of identity-based partitioning and explore three boundary conditions for sustaining an periphery identity oppositional to that of market leaders: intense cooperation among peripheral organizations, sufficient audience heterogeneity and short delays in enacting as well as in perceiving the periphery identity. I hypothesize that although increasing oppositional identities upon competitive release lead to resource partitioning, this effect varies substantially across audience segments embedded in geographical communities. Organizational founding rates increase with greater match between the peripheral identity and the values endorsed by the local community. I also propose while center organizations may absorb the majority of the released resources, competitive release leads to higher growth rates of peripheral organizations compared with those of the subsidiaries of the center ones. Combining the apparently opposing effects of the match between producer identity and audience tastes on founding rates and growth rates, I suggest that resource partitioning may occur both at the form level through new foundings and at the firm level through organizational growth, depending on the strength of the match. The theories and hypotheses are developed and tested using simulation experiments (chapter 2) and longitudinal quantitative data (chapter 3 and 4). This dissertation contributes to the theories on resource partitioning and organizational identity as well as to research on industrial evolution and sociology of market in general. Advisors/Committee Members: Erik (Dir.), Filippo Carlo (Codir.).

▼ Les plantes ont depuis longtemps fasciné les biologistes par leur capacité à former des espèces cryptiques, des hybrides entre des espèces distinctes, de grandes tailles de génomes stables, et une large variété de systèmes reproducteurs parmi les taxons qui ont conduit à l’actuelle biodiversité des plantes. Il y a plus de 450 millions d’années, les plantes vasculaires ont émergé et colonisé la terre. Rapidement, elles se sont dispersées pour explorer de nouveaux habitats et se sont diversifiées dans des environnements favorables pour former plus de 300 000 espèces vivantes. Une meilleure compréhension des forces évolutives passées qui ont mené aux morphologies, aux écologies, et aux diversités génétiques actuelles des plantes est essentielle pour prédire leur évolution, particulièrement dans le contexte des changements globaux. Ainsi, les objectifs principaux de cette thèse consistaient à étudier les relations phylogénétiques parmi les taxons de Botrychium et comment l’allopolyploïdie et l’alternance des systèmes reproducteurs ont mené à la spéciation de ces espèces. Dans un cadre multidisciplinaire, nous avons combiné la phylogénétique avec la génétique des populations et la cytométrie en flux pour produire des données cellulaires et moléculaires pertinentes pour l’exploration des mécanismes biologiques clefs prenant place à des échelles locales ou globales. Etant les fondements de notre projet, nous avons reconstruit la phylogénie chloroplastique du genre Botrychium basée sur un échantillonnage mondiale pour examiner les relations de parentés parmi les taxons diploïdes et les origines maternelles des allopolyploïdes. Dans une seconde étape, nous avons estimé les tailles de génome des Botrychium diploïdes et polyploïdes pour comparer les variations du contenu en ADN après l’allopolyploïdisation et entre les niveaux de ploïdie. Ensuite, nous avons utilisé le séquençage PacBio pour inférer une phylogénie moléculaire dans le but de révéler l’histoire évolutive des deux, les lignées maternelles et paternelles des allopolyploïdes, et d’établir l’échelle temporelle de leur héritage bi-parentale basée sur les estimations des temps de divergence. Travaillant à une échelle régionale et locale, nous avons génotypé des populations de B. lunaria des alpes en utilisant des variants enzymatiques co-dominants et des données de séquençage ddRAD pour caractériser le mode prédominant de reproduction ainsi que leur histoire démographique durant le dernier maximum glaciaire. Nous avons trouvé des résultats inattendus et des découvertes majeures pour la compréhension de la biologie des plantes vasculaires précoces. Pour la diversité spécifique elle-même, nous avons identifié treize nouveaux taxons potentiels et caractérisé la diversité exceptionnelle d’haplotypes survenant dans le complexe d’espèce Lunaria. De plus, nous avons présenté des évidences pour l’origine multiple de plusieurs taxons allopolyploïdes et révélé des cas incontestables de dipersion intercontinentale d’amérique du nord vers… Advisors/Committee Members: Jason (Dir.).

▼ An organism’s entire life history - the timing of development, reproduction, senescence and death - can depend on the nature of selection for reproductive age. The outcome of selection will depend both on the particular features of the selective environment and on the genetic architecture of life history in the population. The genetic architecture is highly complex and itself variable in response to selection. Various features of the architecture, including available genetic variation, pleiotropy, epistasis, intersexual genetic correlation, mitochondrial genomes and mito-nuclear interactions all play a role in determining the trajectory of life history evolution, and to interact with one another in doing so. Using eleven laboratory-adapted populations of Drosophila melanogaster that have been subject to controlled long-term selection for differing ages of reproduction, I undertook several experiments that help characterize how these aspects of genetic architecture have contributed to the life history of each population. These experiments combined assays of life history trait values in the standing genetic variation with manipulations of mutation accumulation rate and hybridization, to better understand the nature of selection shaping each life history. I found surprisingly strong positive pleiotropy between early reproduction and longevity, sufficient to maintain a stable ‘surplus’ life span lasting several weeks post-selection. Selection for extremely early reproduction, on the other hand, induced pleiotropic costs to reproductive traits in each sex in a trade-off with development time. Characterization of the intersexual genetic architecture for life span revealed it was largely sex-limited in nature, consistent with a history of intralocus sexual conflict affecting the trait. There was also evidence, however, that mutations affecting life span might interact to reinforce their effects, and that the resulting costs were manifested in both sexes. Selection on mitochondrial genomes in isolation did not contribute to evolution of age-specific reproduction, but mito-nuclear coadaptation was clearly important to its evolution for males in particular. Together, these results expand our understanding of how age-specific selection shapes life history in a popular model organism. They can be used to guide future research in this system and allow us to pose important questions to be tested in other species as well.
