Abstract

Recent advances in molecular technology have revolutionized research on all aspects of the biology of organisms, including ciliates, and created unprecedented opportunities for pursuing a more integrative approach to investigations of biodiversity. However, this goal is complicated by large gaps and inconsistencies that still exist in the foundation of basic information about biodiversity of ciliates. The present paper reviews issues relating to the taxonomy of ciliates and presents specific recommendations for best practice in the observation and documentation of their biodiversity. This effort stems from a workshop that explored ways to implement six Grand Challenges proposed by the International Research Coordination Network for Biodiversity of Ciliates (IRCN-BC). As part of its commitment to strengthening the knowledge base that supports research on biodiversity of ciliates, the IRCN-BC proposes to populate The Ciliate Guide, an online database, with biodiversity-related data and metadata to create a resource that will facilitate accurate taxonomic identifications and promote sharing of data.

44. Biofouling community composition across a range of environmental conditions and geographical locations suitable for floating marine renewable energy generation

Author

Macleod, Adrian K., Stanley, Michele S., Day, John G., and Cook, Elizabeth J.

Abstract

Knowledge of biofouling typical of marine structures is essential for engineers to define appropriate loading criteria in addition to informing other stakeholders about the ecological implications of creating novel artificial environments. There is a lack of information regarding biofouling community composition (including weight and density characteristics) on floating structures associated with future marine renewable energy generation technologies. A network of navigation buoys were identified across a range of geographical areas, environmental conditions (tidal flow speed, temperature and salinity), and deployment durations suitable for future developments. Despite the perceived importance of environmental and temporal factors, geographical location explained the greatest proportion of the observed variation in community composition, emphasising the importance of considering geography when assessing the impact of biofouling on device functioning and associated ecology. The principal taxa associated with variation in biofouling community composition were mussels (Mytilus edulis), which were also important when determining loading criteria.

Abstract

The benefits of the information service (I/S) function in companies are not fully understood due to a lack of appropriate tools for measuring I/S performance. For those who are interested in measuring I/S, three sets of measurement are available. The first category includes key measurements that benchmark I/S function against industry averages and enable measurers to see if their performance is below or above the norm. The second category consists of alignment measurements that determine the effectiveness of I/S functions. The last category includes operational measurements that help identify the efficiency of specific I/S functions. The proper use of these measurements can help cultivate awareness of the I/S role, provide evidence of the usefulness of I/S in the organization and justify distribution of related costs across departments., Two factors often conspire to blacken the image of Information Services in many organizations: (1) end users tend to be removed from direct control and measurement of the I/S function, [...]
