Meeting Abstract S11.5 Wednesday, Jan. 7 10:30 Links between detoxification, excretion and osmoregulation in insects and crustaceans. O’DONNELL, Michael J*; WEIHRAUCH, Dirk; McMaster University, Hamilton; University of Manitoba, Winnipeg odonnell@mcmaster.ca http://www.biology.mcmaster.ca/odonnell/faculty/odonnell The functional kidney in insects is comprised of the Malpighian tubules and hindgut. Together, these tissues play preeminent roles in osmoregulation and excretion. In crustaceans, the […]

Integrated immune and cardiovascular function in insects
Meeting Abstract S11.8 Wednesday, Jan. 7 13:30 Integrated immune and cardiovascular function in insects HILLYER, J.F.; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN julian.hillyer@vanderbilt.edu http://www.vanderbilt.edu/hillyerlab/ Insects acquire pathogens via ingestion and through breaches in the cuticle. Upon entry into the hemocoel, pathogens are circulated throughout the body by the insect open circulatory system. Anatomically, this circulatory system consists of a […]
Genetic and hormonal basis of limb regeneration across the Pancrustacea
Meeting Abstract S11.10 Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:30 Genetic and hormonal basis of limb regeneration across the Pancrustacea DAS, S.; Colorado State University sdas@mail.colostate.edu Regeneration is a developmental process that allows an organism to re-grow a lost body part. Historically, the most studied aspect of limb regeneration across Pancrustacea is its morphological basis and its dependence on successful […]
Evolution of respiratory proteins across the Pancrustacea
Meeting Abstract S11.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 09:00 Evolution of respiratory proteins across the Pancrustacea BURMESTER, T.; Institute of Zoology, University of Hamburg; Germany thorsten.burmester@uni-hamburg.de Respiratory proteins serve for the transport and storage of oxygen. Two types of respiratory proteins occur in the Pancrustacea: hemocyanin and hemoglobin. The copper-containing hemocyanin evolved from phenoloxidases in the arthropod stemline. Hemocyanins […]
