PhD student position in Ethology at the Department of Zoology. Reference number SU FV-2909-14. Deadline for applications: November 20, 2014. Project description We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student with an interest in evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology to take part in the research project "Life-history variation, behavior and methylation patterns", funded by the Swedish Research Council. The aim of the project is to investigate the association between methylation patterns and variation in life-history traits and behavior across species. Methylation is one of several epigenetic inheritance mechanisms, which may play an important role in phenotypic plasticity and genetic accommodation. Understanding epigenetic effects has implications for core evolutionary processes such as heritability, maintenance of genetic variation and speciation. Still, we have only a rudimentary understanding of how evolutionary processes are affected by these epigenetic effects. The project involves a combination of modern phylogenetic comparative methods and experimental approaches to analyze the association between methylation and inter-specific variation in life-history and behavior using killifish (Cyprinodontiformes) as a model system. The selected candidate will gain experience in modern phylogenetic comparative methods, experimental design, molecular analyses and statistics. This is an ambitious project which will be demanding and require excellent organization and analytical skills. However, we think it will also be very rewarding and exciting. The candidate will be based in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden and a beautiful and vibrant Scandinavian city. Since one of the PIs of the project has a joint affiliation between Stockholm University and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, research visits to the later, in Mexico City, another vibrant and diverse city with plenty of cultural offer, are also highly likely. The proposed project combines the different areas of expertise of the two principal investigators, who will jointly supervise the candidate. Alejandro Gonzalez Voyer is interested in phenotypic evolution and speciation, topics that are mainly addressed using modern phylogenetic comparative methods. Björn Rogell has a broad interested in environmental stress, local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity. Qualifications To be qualified for research studies in ethology the applicant must have completed a research degree (e.g. Master's), or have passed at least 120 hp (2 years) of biological studies, including an approved independent project of at least 30 hp at advanced level ("examensarbete") within ethology, evolutionary biology or related subjects. Applicants who have in principle acquired the corresponding competence in Sweden or abroad are also qualified. Criteria for selection Among qualified applicants, selection is made according to the ability to benefit from the studies. The criteria to be used are properly documented competence within the described research area, capabilities with regards to speaking and writing in English (note that English is the working language in the groups), analytical thinking, organizational skills, creativity, initiative, independence, and team work performance. Experience with statistical analysis and molecular data is an advantage. The applicant's earlier experience within the field of research can be of relevance especially when further documented by university courses, independent research works, personal references, interview and an application indicating the applicant's motivations in written form. Terms of employment The PhD studies include 48 months of full-time studies with employment as PhD student. The salary currently starts at 23.700 SEK/month. Stockholm University aims to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for everyone.

Periodically, mathematicians and other computationalists produce lists of what they refer to as "Open Problems" in their particular field. Phylogenetics is no exception. We have had a few on this blog before today (e.g. An open question about computational complexity; Phylogenetic network Millennium problems).
I thought that I should draw your attention to the fact that last year, Barbara Holland produced a few of her own (2013. The rise of statistical phylogenetics. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics 55: 205-220). These are:
Open problem 1: What is the natural analogue of a confidence interval for a phylogenetic tree?
Open problem 2: What are useful residual diagnostics for phylogenetic models?
Open problem 3: What makes a good phylogenetic model?
Open problem 4: Should DAGs be acceptable objects for inference or should network methods be restricted to exploratory data analysis?
It is obviously the latter problem that is of most interest to us here:
DAGs [directed acyclic graphs] can be constructed by beginning with a good tree and then progressively adding edges until the fit between the model and the data is deemed good enough or there is no sufficient improvement in fit by continuing to add edges. The trouble with using DAGs to define mixture models is that this approach doesn't actually capture the biological processes of interest within the model. The sorts of things we'd like the data to tell us are what is the relative rate of recombination events or hybridisation events to mutation events or speciation events. The danger with using phylogenetic networks in an "add an extra edge until the fit is good enough" approach is that by giving ourselves the capacity to explain everything we risk explaining nothing. At some point have we stopped doing inference and got back to just summarising our data? In phylogenetics we rely on our models for their explanatory power — in the context of network evolution we need to make careful decisions about what biological processes should be included within the model such that inferences about reticulate (non-treelike) processes of evolution can be brought within the realm of stochastic uncertainty rather than being left as a source of inductive uncertainty. This is not a straightforward task, and will require the collaboration of evolutionary biologists and statisticians.One of the principal issues here is that it is almost impossible to consistently distinguish one reticulation process from another based on the structure of the resulting network. These processes all produce gene flow in the biological world, and they all appear as reticulations in the graphical representation of a network. In practice, phylogenetic analysis may boil down to only two biological processes in the model (vertical gene inheritance and horizontal gene flow), followed by biologists trying to sort out the details with post hoc analyses. Deep coalescence and gene duplication are part of the vertical inheritance, while hybridization, introgression, horizontal gene flow and recombination are part of gene flow. It would be nice to think that this model would simplify network analyses.

The strange case of East African annual fishes: aridification correlates with diversification for a savannah aquatic group?
Background: Annual Nothobranchius fishes are distributed in East and Southern Africa and inhabit ephemeral pools filled during the monsoon season. Nothobranchius show extreme life-history adaptations: embryos survive by entering diapause and they are the vertebrates with the fastest maturation and the shortest lifespan. The distribution of Nothobranchius overlaps with the East Africa Rift System. The geological and paleoclimatic history of this region is known in detail: in particular, aridification of East Africa and expansion of grassland habitats started 8 Mya and three humid periods between 3 and 1 Mya are superimposed on the longer-term aridification. These climatic oscillations are thought to have shaped evolution of savannah African mammals. We reconstructed the phylogeny of Nothobranchius and dated the different stages of diversification in relation to these paleoclimatic events. Results: We sequenced one mitochondrial locus and five nuclear loci in 63 specimens and obtained a robust phylogeny. Nothobranchius can be divided in four geographically separated clades whose boundaries largely correspond to the East Africa Rift system. Statistical analysis of dispersal and vicariance identifies a Nilo-Sudan origin with southwards dispersion and confirmed that these four clades are the result of vicariance events In the absence of fossil Nothobranchius, molecular clock was calibrated using more distant outgroups (secondary calibration). This method estimates the age of the Nothobranchius genus to be 8.3 (6.0 – 10.7) My and the separation of the four clades 4.8 (2.7-7.0) Mya. Diversification within the clades was estimated to have started ~3 Mya and most species pairs were estimated to have an age of 0.5-1 My. Conclusions: The mechanism of Nothobranchius diversification was allopatric and driven by geographic isolation. We propose a scenario where diversification of Nothobranchius started in rough coincidence with aridification of East Africa, establishment of grassland habitats and the appearance of the typical African bovid fauna of the savannah. Although confidence intervals for the estimated ages of the four Nothobranchius clades are quite large, this scenario is compatible with the biology of extant Nothobranchius that are critically dependent on savannah habitats. Therefore, Nothobranchius diversification might have been shaped by the same paleoclimatic events that shaped African ungulate evolution.

next talk: David Rasmussen: Statistical inference for phylodynamics, 2014-10-16 09:00 PDT Phylodynamic methods are widely used to estimate demographic parameters and historical population dynamics from genealogies of individuals sampled from a population. In this phyloseminar, I will describe how we can understand genealogies in terms of basic demographic or ecological processes, and how these concepts can be used to develop statistical models for inference. In particular, I will discuss some similarities and differences between the two main modeling frameworks in phylodynamics: the coalescent and birth-death models. I will also briefly introduce some of the latest statistical methods currently used to fit these models to genealogies. I will end by discussing one of the main challenges facing the fiel via Gmail

A PhD position is available in the lab of Adam Eyre-Walker at the University of Sussex to work on bacterial population genetics. The vast majority of organisms on this earth are prokaryotes and they are responsible for many of the biggest problems facing mankind, from diseases such as tuberculosis and typhoid, to hospital infections, such as those caused by methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, despite their prevalence and importance we still have a poor understanding of bacterial population genetics. We know the genome of many bacteria is highly labile so that any two strains of a bacterial "species" share only some genes; this has led to the concept of a core genome and an accessory genome. However, the evolutionary forces that act upon both genomes have not been extensively investigated. The aim of this project is to rectify this and to look at several aspects of bacterial population genetics in over 100 bacterial species for which multiple strains have been completely sequenced. The project will involve the bioinformatic analysis of publicly available data. Students with a str ong background in evolutionary biology, genetics and/or bioinformatics are particularly encouraged to apply. The position is available to UK and EU residents only. It is fully funded for 3.5 years; funding includes fees and a stipend equivalent to the standard UK research council rate (currently 13,863 per annum). The position involves 50 hours of teaching a year. Informal enquiries should be directed to Adam Eyre-Walker - firstname.lastname@example.com. Further details about the group can be found at http://bit.ly/11hpRZ7. Applications must be made through the University of Sussex's clunky graduate school application system http://bit.ly/1D8yd2Q. Apply for September 2015 entry. Mention the name of supervisor in "suggested supervisor" section. In funding mention sponsored or seeking funding. In Award details mention School of Life Sciences funded studentship. Include brief statement of interest (upto 2 pages), CV, two academic references, UG/PG transcripts, IELTS/TOEFL results if residing in EU. Only full time students will be accepted. Deadline for applications is 30/11/14 via Gmail

Downsize your dinner plates so that they seem too full when you put your normal servings.
First, understand just what you eat! Keep a small notebook in your bag or pocket for a week and list down all the things that you eat and exactly how several parts of which. We actually mean all the things! From the first thing you munch on in the early morning, exactly how several glasses of soda pop you consume at work (you will be surprised exactly how much sweet beverages you eat by the end of the week!) and exactly how several servings of fatty carbohydrates you get every 3 days!
By recognizing just what you eat, you become aware of merely exactly how much great (or bad) you are doing to your body. Then begin exchanging vital dinners in your day with healthier alternatives. You can do a slow swap (like doing away with all fried foods however keeping the meat, the cream cheese and sweets) or you can easily go on an all out war against anything that is high in fat and reasonable in nutrition. It is actually up to you!
Some examples of great food that you should eat (that do not lack in taste!) are:
Apart from exercising, yet another means to slim down in addition to a healthy and balanced diet is the utilization of diet pills.

There are pills that are produced to act quick since they are produced as quick-acting fat burning measures for those who desperately need to slim down for medical causes. If you have a minimal period for dropping weight, you should consider these types of pills.
Over-the-counter diet pills
There are even over the counter pills that can be lawfully bought without a prescription. Seek these diet pills that are over the counter since this guarantees you that they are produced with the security of the consumers in mind. The government will not allow dangerous drugs to be sold over the counter, right?
One example is Phentramin-D. This over the counter diet pill is produced to assist you lose 20 pounds. AT LEAST when you are on it. This 20 pounds. is lost over the first 3 to four weeks of use of the pill, so this is not for those who merely would like to lose a bit of fat occasionally.
This is for those who prefer it so bad, that they have done all diet crazes, physical fitness program and have basically done an incredibly healthy change in diets. If you have done all the things else then a great, safe and successful diet pill is your only option left.
Simply be careful when choosing your diet pill. You prefer something that is NOT organic (you prefer careful laboratory ingredients to back up the claim of simple fat burning, right?). You even prefer a tablet that you can conveniently avail of and reorder, like on-line sales and delivery. This will assist you take your pill in a consistent way and therefore, further help in easy fat burning.
Good luck with your choice and we wish
that you are on your road to physical
fitness and wellness!

Virtusa stock offering reaches $86.2M

Consulting and information technology outsourcing firm Virtusa Corp. said Tuesday that it has raised total gross proceeds of $86.2 million from a public offering of common shares.
The Westborough, Mass.-based company said underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 345,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $34.50 per share, in connection with its previously announced underwritten public offering of 2.3 million shares of common stock.
Virtusa (Nasdaq: VRTU) plans to use the proceeds to repay the outstanding borrowings of $20 million drawn down under Virtusa's new $25 million revolving credit facility.
That facility has been used to fund its acquisition this month of Trade Tech Consulting Scandinavia AB.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Marcos Ambrose eyeing Watkins Glen for that elusive victory; needs a win to make Chase
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - Eleven drivers have at least one Sprint Cup victory and are locked into the Chase for the championship. Marcos Ambrose wants to make it an even dozen.
Next stop, the Cheez-It 355 on Sunday on the road course at Watkins Glen. A win would earn the Australian his first berth in the Chase and give Richard Petty Motorsports a second car in NASCAR's version of a post-season. Aric Almirola drove Petty's famed No. 43 to victory in the rain-shortened July race at Daytona.
"This is our best chance. I've got to get in," Ambrose said Friday. "It would make our year. We're excited."
Ambrose has established himself as the latest master of the speedy 2.45-mile road course in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. In the past three years he has won twice, outdueling Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch in the final laps in both 2011 and 2012.
A year ago, Ambrose won the pole, led 51 laps, and was the car to beat before pit strategy helped spoil his day as Busch prevailed for the second time at The Glen, besting Keselowski.
Ambrose lost the lead when he pitted just past the midpoint of the 90-lap race, restarted 12th, and limped home 23rd after a late crash.
"You know it won't be easy," Ambrose said. "There are going to be 10-12 guys out there that have a shot to win the race. You just know going in it won't be a cake walk. It is going to have to be a big grind to get the victory. You can only do what you can out there behind the wheel and let the racing gods work out whether it is your day or not."
Ambrose is in his fourth season driving the No. 9 Ford for the Petty organization, and his current deal with RPM is up at the end of the season. He said Friday he hasn't even given the future a thought, though there has been speculation he might return to Australia.
"It's been a struggle and the last couple of years have been like that," Ambrose said. "It's been a grind, no doubt. We're looking for that next step. It's a big step for us to have Aric, a great opportunity, but we need more than that."
Under NASCAR's new points format in Sprint Cup, any driver who wins one of the first 26 races is a pretty good bet to be among the 16 who make it into the 10-race Chase. With 11 winners heading into Sunday's race, there's almost no chance for a winner to be left out. If there are fewer than 16 winners, the remaining slots will go to the winless drivers highest in points.
Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman sit fourth and fifth in points and are firmly entrenched, while Clint Bowyer is well back in ninth. He's 22 points ahead of rookie Kyle Larson and 27 ahead of 13th-place Greg Biffle, who holds the final transfer spot by one point over Kasey Kahne and two over rookie Austin Dillon in what promises to be a dogfight over the next month.
Ambrose sits 17th — 49 behind the current cutoff and likely too far back in the standings to make the Chase on points.
"If we get away with a top five and we get closer, then we could say it has been a solid day," said Ambrose, who tested at The Glen two weeks ago to prepare for the Cup race and also will race in the Nationwide Zippo 200 on Saturday, an event he won three straight times (2008-10). "But we have come here to win."
In the race last year, Keselowski had a chance to bump Busch out of the way and claim his first victory at The Glen. Instead, he finished second for the third straight time.
Busch is anticipating a repeat scenario. In Friday's first Cup practice, Keselowski was third, Ambrose fifth, and Busch 10th.
"I think there's three favourites because they've been the top three guys here the last three years — myself, the 2 (Keselowski), and the 9 (Ambrose)," Busch said. "I think you're going to see those three cars be fast. I don't necessarily think that anyone is chasing anyone. I think it's just going to be us three trying to figure out who is going to win it."
In the final practice session, Ambrose was second to AJ Allmendinger, Busch was third, but Keselowski faded to 20th.

Hi: 16° Lo:12°
By Steve Carpenter Thursday 09 May 2013 Updated: 14/05 14:51
AMERICAN forward Ryan Ginand is the latest addition to Matt Soderstrom's Blaze team.
The 27-year-old split last season with Orlando Solar Bears and Gwinnett Gladiators in the ECHL as well as being called up for seven games in the American Hockey League by Houston Aeros.
He has registered 127 points (50 goals and 77 assists) in 143 games in the ECHL and has also spent time in Denmark and Italy after having four years with Northeastern University in the NCAA.
"We feel he is another point-producing high-end top-six forward for us," said Soderstrom.
"I know Thommo (Paul Thompson) has followed his career for the past couple of years and we came close to signing him last year.
"He played on the same team as Brian Lee, who told us Ryan would be a perfect fit in Coventry.
"He wanted another shot at the American League but we got the deal done this time and he is someone we will be leaning on heavily to produce.
"He delivers the goods and his record speaks for itself. He is ready and raring to go."
Ginand joins Steven Chalmers, Ross Venus, James Griffin, Mike Egener, Adam Henrich, Benn Olson, Mike Schutte, Russell Cowley, Mike Zacharias, Matt Selby, Dale White, Adam Goss and Michael Henrich on next season's roster.

DEFINITION of 'Index'
A statistical measure of change in an economy or a securities market. In the case of financial markets, an index is an imaginary portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a portion of it. Each index has its own calculation methodology and is usually expressed in terms of a change from a base value. Thus, the percentage change is more important than the actual numeric value.
Stock and bond market indexes are used to construct index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) whose portfolios mirror the components of the index.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Index'
The Standard & Poor's 500 is one of the world's best known indexes, and is the most commonly used benchmark for the stock market. Other prominent indexes include the DJ Wilshire 5000 (total stock market), the MSCI EAFE (foreign stocks in Europe, Australasia, Far East) and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (total bond market).
Because, technically, you can't actually invest in an index, index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (based on indexes) allow investors to invest in securities representing broad market segments and/or the total market.

Fed could trim bond-buying more sharply in future: Plosser
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve could well consider cutting its bond-buying by more than a $10 billion monthly increment in the future, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said on Saturday, floating $25 billion as a hypothetical amount.
The U.S. central bank trimmed its quantitative easing program to $75 billion per month, from $85 billion, at a much anticipated policy meeting last month, reducing its extraordinary support for the U.S. economy.
"It's good that we did it," Plosser, a hawkish Fed official, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference. But "if the economy continues to grow and strengthen I think that there's no reason why we shouldn't want to consider speeding the process up if we can," he said.
"I have no problem with gradually unwinding it, but my preference would be to move a little quicker and end it sooner rather than later," Plosser added.

Top cleric of the largest Eid congregation in West Bengal on Tuesday criticised the Modi-government for its much-hyped 'achche din' concept and keeping silent when Muslims were targeted in the country, however, praised chief minister Mamata Banerjee for her work for minority development.
Qari Fazlur Rehman, one of the most revered clerics, was speaking in the presence of Banerjee on Red Road in Kolkata. Interestingly, earlier, Rehman was learnt to have come down heavily on the chief minister for only lip-service in the name of Muslim development.
"They said 'achche din' will come, but these days, food is forced down on a Muslim's mouth during Ramadan. Till now, Narendra Modi has not said anything condemning such incidents. It is his people who are doing such acts and obviously he will be silent. Is this what he meant by good days," said Rehman.
"About 30% Muslims voted Modi to power. One must not forget that the ones who made him rise can also sink him...Do not consider Muslims weak," he added.
He stated that the trend of considering Muslims as terrorists and criminals is continuing and random arrests are being made. He warned the BJP government that Muslims can change the regime at the Centre.
Appreciating Banerjee's efforts for minority development, Rehman also stated that much is left to be done.
Banerjee also stated that communal harmony and 'bhaichara' among communities should prevail and Muslims should be happy in the state.
Businessman-cum-lawyer Gautam Khaitan is likely to spend this Diwali in jail, where he's been lodged since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) 28 days ago in the Rs 3,600 AgustaWestland scam, as a Delhi court Monday denied his bail application.
