AG EDUCATION AND STUDIES RANKS HIGH IN NATION
The department of agricultural education and studies ranked highly in a study of the top 10 agricultural education programs in the nation, according to a paper in the American Association for Agricultural Education conference proceedings. The distinguishing characteristics of ISU's program were faculty, graduate program and international emphasis.

ENTOMOLOGISTS EARN TWO NATIONAL AWARDS
Researchers at ISU and other land-grant universities have worked for many years to develop and implement management programs for soybean insect pests that are economically and ecologically sustainable. This fall, those efforts resulted in two national awards for a coalition of soybean researchers around the country, including ISU entomologists Matthew O'Neal and Erin Hodgson. One award is the 2009 National Excellence in Multistate Research Award from the American Public Land-Grant Universities. The other is the 2009 Integrated Pest Management Team Award from the Entomological Foundation. More: http://www.ag.iastate.edu/news/releases/802/

STUDY EXAMINES RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODERN PLANT SCIENCE AND DARWIN
Aaron Gassmann, entomology, has co-authored a paper for the November issue of Pest Management Science journal focusing on the evolutionary analysis of herbivorous insects in natural and agricultural environments. A section of the journal is devoted to the relationship between modern pest science and the work of Charles Darwin. November marks the 150th anniversary of Darwin's work, On the Origin of Species. Herbivorous insects offer a remarkable example of the biological diversity that formed the foundation for Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. The ability of insects to rapidly evolve resistance to insecticides and host-plant resistance present a continual challenge for pest management. The paper considers how genetic constraints, host-plant availability and evolutionary trade-offs affect the evolution of herbivorous insects in natural and agricultural environments. It also examines the extent to which lessons learned from studying natural systems may be applied to improve insect resistance management in agricultural systems. The paper also discusses how pest management capabilities can be advanced by learning from natural systems.

MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE PEN…
In the current issue of Animal Behaviour, researchers present evidence that domestic pigs can quickly learn how mirrors work and will use their understanding of reflected images to scope out their surroundings and find their food. The researchers cannot yet say whether the animals realize that the eyes in the mirror are their own, or whether pigs might rank with apes, dolphins and other species that have passed the famed “mirror self-recognition test” thought to be a marker of self-awareness and advanced intelligence.

UNDERGRADUATE TO PRESENT RESEARCH AT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Jenna Dixon, an undergraduate in animal science, will present her research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) at the Experimental Biology international conference in April in Anaheim, California. Dixon works in the lab of Josh Selsby, assistant professor in animal science. DMD is caused by a dystrophin deficiency and affects one in 3,500 male infants, leading to wheelchair confinement by the early teenage years and death by the mid to late twenties. The long-term goals of the research are to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to DMD pathology, and to develop better therapeutic interventions to prevent or treat this disease. In studies with healthy and diseased mice, Dixon has found 40 differentially expressed proteins, to date, and expects that number to climb dramatically. Further research is being done to determine the identity of these proteins, which may lead to the discovery of pathways involved in the progression of this disease.
