SUMMARY:CBG Seminar Series: Community-Based Research with Indigenous Peoples - Notes and Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Mcllwraith is a cultural anthropologist in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology\, University of Guelph. He conducts research with Indigenous communities and individuals in British Columbia. Together with communities\, Mcllwraith works to document territory\, understand food and resource harvesting practices\, and to help Elders and families prepare life histories. His work also includes an effort to understand the attitudes and biases that underpin consulting anthropology projects such as land use and occupancy studies\, particularly in the contexts of unceded territories and Indigenous rights. Recently\, he has partnered with the Canadian Camping Association to help address issues related to cultural appropriation at children’s summer camps. \n“In this talk I will describe my work as a community-based anthropologist in British Columbia. I will describe some of the recent developments at the University of Guelph around ethical research practices with Indigenous communities and groups. And\, I will open a discussion around the implications of community-engaged research and Guelph’s current community-based research directions for Arctic Biodiversity (ArcBio).” \nSeminars: \nThe Centre for Biodiversity Genomics Science Seminar Series is intended to provide a forum for the CBG researchers to present their work and to share new findings and ideas with their colleagues. We also encourage our visiting scientists and collaborators from different U of G departments to participate and present in this seminar series. We believe that this initiative will foster collaboration within CBG and with a wider community of researchers interested in biodiversity genomics. The seminars will be held in the CBG Visualization Theatre (Room 1009) every second Friday\, 11:30-12:30 pm\, starting January 31\, 2020. \nIf you are a faculty member\, postdoctoral fellow\, or visiting researcher and are interested in sharing your research in a 30-45 minute presentation at the Biodiversity Seminar Series please contact one of the coordinators on our website. \nWe accept submissions for talks on an ongoing basis.

SUMMARY:CBG Seminar Series: Tracing the Patterns of Life on a Changing Planet
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paul Hebert presents: Tracing the Patterns of Life on a Changing Planet \nEarth observation satellites are watching biodiversity from afar\, providing a synoptic view of shifting forest cover\, plankton blooms\, and the timing of budburst. Until now\, most essential biodiversity variables have only been resolved in a local context\, but DNA-based approaches will soon change this situation. Every multicellular species will be registered within 25 years by coupling DNA barcoding with a simplified approach for their description. \nBuilding on this atlas of life\, DNA metabarcoding will enable an earth observation system that monitors the shifting distributions and abundances of all species. DNA analysis will also reveal the symbiome\, the parasites\, commensals\, mutualists and microbes that interact with every species. How do we achieve these advances? Building on its earlier role in leading BARCODE 500K\, the International Barcode of Life Consortium recently launched BIOSCAN\, a 7-year\, $180 million program to develop the protocols and informatics support needed to achieve three key goals. By barcoding ten million specimens\, a million new species will be encountered whose registration will be expedited by algorithms. BIOSCAN will also illuminate species interactions by deep sequencing a million specimens\, revealing previously dark interactions that may structure biodiversity. Finally\, by metabarcoding a 100 million specimens from sites spanning the globe\, it will provide new details on species distributions and diversity. BIOSCAN is a launch pad – for the Planetary Biodiversity Mission which will\, before mid-century\, register all species while revealing their interactions and activating a global biosurveillance system. \n—- \nPaul Hebert is a Canada Research Chair in Molecular Biodiversity at the University of Guelph where he is a professor in its Department of Integrative Biology and Director of its Centre for Biodiversity Genomics. He brings 30 years of experience in the oversight of major research and academic units. Focusing on a major research program in DNA barcoding he raised more than $100 million to construct specialized research facilities\, and built a research team with outstanding capabilities in biodiversity science\, informatics\, and genomics. Paul’s research has employed diverse molecular approaches to advance understanding of issues such as breeding system evolution\, invasive species\, and genome size evolution. He is best known for proposing DNA barcoding as a tool for both specimen identification and species discovery. \nThe CBG Science Seminar Series is intended to provide a forum for the CBG researchers to present their work and to share new findings and ideas with their colleagues. We also encourage our visiting scientists and collaborators from different U of G departments to participate and present in this seminar series. We believe that this initiative will foster collaboration within CBG and with a wider community of researchers interested in biodiversity genomics.

SUMMARY:Metagenomics-Based Ecosystem Biomonitoring (Ecobiomics)
DESCRIPTION:Teresita Porter\, research scientist with the Great Lakes Forestry Centre\, Natural Resources Canada and a visiting research scientist with U of G’s Centre for Biodiversity Genomics will discuss water and soil biodiversity and how they are essential to sustaining diverse ecosystem services and economic activities across Canada. \nPorter’s research background is in ecology and evolution\, mycology and bioinformatics. Her current work focuses on using genomics methods to monitor water quality\, soil health and sustainability from environmental DNA. Porter has a special interest in how methodological bias affects the analysis of biodiversity and biomonitoring data. \nFind more info on this talk and the CBG Seminar Series. \nMetagenomics-Based Ecosystem Biomonitoring (Ecobiomics)\nWater and soil biodiversity are essential to sustain diverse ecosystem services and economic activities across Canada. Genomics tools are ideal for characterizing complex biodiversity. Teresita Porter will introduce the Government of Canada’s Genomics Research and Development Initiative\, focusing on one of their large interdepartmental projects\, the Metagenomics-Based Ecosystem Biomonitoring (Ecobiomics) project. Porter will discuss the goals and organization of this five-year project. She will review some of the key areas where they have been able to standardize methods during field sampling\, lab processing\, sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Porter’s area of expertise is in the bioinformatic handling and analysis of metabarcoding datasets\, so she will take a shallow dive into the structure of their bioinformatic approach. Porter will discuss how they established a bulk soil sampling methodology that targets arthropods from bulk soil. She will also briefly introduce two ongoing projects that focus on using bulk soil metabarcoding to assess the sustainability of timber harvest.
