THE MOUSE AND THE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY OF THE MAMMALIAN SKULL
Meeting Abstract LBS2.1 Thursday, Jan. 3 THE MOUSE AND THE EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY OF THE MAMMALIAN SKULL HALLGRIMSSON, Benedikt; University of Calgary bhallgri@ucalgary.ca A central focus of evolutionary developmental biology is to determine the developmental process determinants of evolvability for specific developmental systems and taxonomic groups. In mammals, more is now known about the developmental genetics of […]
Of mice and mammals Using classical inbred mice to study the genetic architecture of masticatory performance
Meeting Abstract LBS2.4 Thursday, Jan. 3 Of �mice� and mammals: Using classical inbred mice to study the genetic architecture of masticatory performance. VINYARD, C.J.*; PAYSEUR, B.A.; NEOUCOM; University of Wisconsin, Madison cvinyard@neoucom.edu Comparative mammalian morphologists maintain a long-standing interest in the evolution of mammalian jaw form and function. While numerous studies examine jaw functional morphology, few have […]
Experimental assessment of behavioral signals in trabecular architecture of the hind limb
Meeting Abstract LBS2.5 Thursday, Jan. 3 Experimental assessment of behavioral signals in trabecular architecture of the hind limb. CARLSON, Kristian J*; LUBINSKY, Svetlana; JUDEX, Stefan; New York College of Osteopathic Medicine; Stony Brook University; Stony Brook University kcarlson@nyit.edu Studies of vertebrate morphology implicate bone functional adaptations to behavioral repertoires when comparing mechanical milieus. With the advent of […]

Meeting Abstract LBS2.6 Thursday, Jan. 3 Bone to run: Selective breeding and skeletal response to high voluntary activity in mice MIDDLETON, K.M.*; KELLY, S.A.; GARLAND, JR., T.; Cal. State Univ. San Bernardino; Univ. California Riverside; Univ. California Riverside kmm@csusb.edu The development of mammalian skeletal models has excellent potential as a way to study the mechanisms that underlie […]
