SUMMARY:Ph.D. Seminar: Natascha Ivy-Israel
DESCRIPTION:Ph.D. Seminar: Natascha Ivy-Israel\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Steve Ditchkoff \nTitle: How does the major histocompatibility complex influence reproductive success in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)? \nLocation: Dixon Executive Conference Room\, 3315 \nDate: Thursday\, July 18\, 2019 \nTime: 8 a.m. \nAbstract: \nMajor histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene products can influence sexual selection through their impact on the vertebrate immune system. Individuals with greater MHC diversity are generally believed to have more effective immune systems\, thereby allowing these individuals to allocate more resources towards growth and reproduction. However\, maximum MHC diversity may be too costly for the individual\, suggesting that maximum diversity is not always optimal. This research examined how MHC diversity\, measured as pairwise allelic distances between two unlinked MHC type II loci (exon 2 for the classical antigen-binding protein MHC-DRB\, exon 2 for the accessory protein MHC-DOB) influenced morphology (Chapter 2)\, annual reproductive success (Chapter 3)\, and pre- and post-copulatory selection (Chapter 4) in an enclosed white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population in Alabama. To generate these allelic distances\, we first sequenced the second exons of MHC-DRB and MHC-DOB on the MiSeq platform (Chapter 1). Since studies conducted with domestic ruminants found a unique MHC II gene structure in which MHC-DRB and MHC-DOB were separated by a recombination hotspot due to an ancestral chromosomal inversion\, we also assessed the degree of linkage between these loci in white-tailed deer.

SUMMARY:SmartMap 2.0 Workshop
DESCRIPTION:SmartMap 2.0 is focused on using low-cost UAS technology for video capture\, forest mapping\, and other natural resource applications. This course “unpacks” UAV technology and the applications and software needed to capture and generate forest imagery and maps. While SmartMap 1.0 provides an introduction to UAV technology\, this course provides a more in-depth review with hands-on training in the use of apps for planning and conducting UAS flights. \nQuestions?\nEmail your questions to Smartmap@auburn.edu. \nRegistar Online
