Meeting Abstract S9-10 Monday, Jan. 6 14:00 – 14:30 Captive breeding alters head morphology and behavior in reptiles: implications for headstarting and reintroduction programs RYERSON, WG; Saint Anselm College wryerson@anselm.edu http://ryersonlab.wordpress.com The use of captive breeding for the purpose of supplementing imperiled species is commonplace throughout herpetology, and continues to grow with each decade. For snakes, many […]

What Defines Different Modes of Snake Locomotion
Meeting Abstract S8-3 Monday, Jan. 6 08:30 – 09:00 What Defines Different Modes of Snake Locomotion? JAYNE, BC; University of Cincinnati jaynebc@ucmail.uc.edu https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/jaynebc Animals move in diverse ways, as indicated in part by the wide variety of gaits and modes that have been described for vertebrate locomotion. “Gaits” and “modes of locomotion” both refer to any repeatable […]

C.; C, ; University of Akron hastley@uakron.edu Elongate, limbless body plans are widespread in nature and frequently converged upon (with over two dozen independent convergences in Squamates alone, and […]
Specialization of control strategies in terrestrial slithering snakes
Meeting Abstract S8-10 Monday, Jan. 6 14:00 – 14:30 Specialization of control strategies in terrestrial slithering snakes. SCHIEBEL, PE*; LIN, B; HUBBARD, AM; CHEN, L; BLEKHERMAN, G; GOLDMAN, DI; Georgia Institute of Technology perrin.schiebel@gatech.edu http://crablab.gatech.edu While traditionally viewed as obstacles to in locomotion, limbless locomotors must use heterogeneities for propulsion. We challenged snakes to traverse a model […]
Reaction Forces and Rib Function During Locomotion in Snakes
Meeting Abstract S8-8 Monday, Jan. 6 11:30 – 12:00 Reaction Forces and Rib Function During Locomotion in Snakes CAPANO, JG*; BRAINERD, EL; Brown University; Brown University john_capano@brown.edu http://johngcapano.com Locomotion in tetrapods involves coordinated efforts between appendicular and axial systems, as limbs generate ground reaction forces (GRFs) that are transmitted to the axial system. In the absence of […]
