Follow op on program of study petition<\/strong>
\n– Jiri will check petition status
\n– Have acquired all committee signatures approving change in program of study requirements<\/p>\n

Ch. 1: Lit. Review<\/strong>
\n– Should only be ~4 pages and structured to provide introductory material for each chapter <\/p>\n

Ch. 2: Global population structure of X. crassiussculus<\/em><\/strong>
\n– Anticipated timeline is to have DNA extracted from abdominal muscle tissue by mid-May for Adam Payton to prepare sequencing library.
\n– May need more Chinese specimens for Ch. 4
\n– Specimens & Locations
\nGhana – 26
\nHonduras – 3
\nJapan – 26
\nMalaysia – 3
\nNew Guinea – 26
\nTaiwan – 6
\nThailand – 24
\nHawaii – 10
\nChina – 5 (Need more. Will be going through Craig’s specimens)
\nCameroon – 6
\nSE US – 56<\/p>\n

Ch. 3: Continuous morophological variation in X. ferrugineus\/bispinatus<\/em><\/strong>
\n– Need Jiri to contact Tom Atkinson about future collaboration on this project.
\n– In the process of acquiring an assistant to began sorting specimens and assessing morphological variation.
\n– Need to finalize number of specimens and locations.
\n– Specimens & Locations
\nX. bispinatus<\/em>
\nNorth Carolina – 6
\nGeorgia – 45
\nFlorida – 165
\nHonduras – 2
\nX. ferrugineus<\/em>
\nNorth Carolina – 8
\nGeorgia – 12
\nFlorida – 171
\nCosta Rica – 5
\nHonduras – 49
\nPanama – 7<\/p>\n

Ch. 4: Pop. Structure and diversity of inbreeding and outbreeding Scolytines in their native and exotic ranges<\/strong>
\n– Comparing X. crassiusculus<\/em> to Dendroctonus valens<\/em>
\n– Need lot more D. valens<\/em> specimens. Jiri will contact some folks about this.
\n– Specimens & Locations
\nX. crassiusculus<\/em>
\nSame as Ch.2
\nDendroctonus valens<\/em> (list of all available specimens)
\nMichigan – 10
\nWisconsin – 2
\nCalifornia – 3<\/p>\n

Other: Wallacellus spp.<\/em> phylogenetic revision<\/strong>
\n– Adding new X. eurygraphus<\/em> sequences to test multiple hypothesis for phylogenetic relationships between similis<\/em>, piceus<\/em>, and Euwallace<\/em>
\n– Also adding X. horrius<\/em> and Cyclorhipidion spp.<\/em> sequences when building new phylogeny, which is for another project<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
