Small mammal utilization of pulsed resources quantified through stable isotope analysis
Meeting Abstract P1.17 Jan. 4 Small mammal utilization of pulsed resources quantified through stable isotope analysis PERSHALL, A.D.*; WARNE, R.W.; WOLF, B.O.; University of New Mexico alaina@unm.edu In this study we examine rain driven pulses of production in C3 and C4 plant functional groups and use stable isotope analysis to quantify how these resource pulses influence nutrient […]
Skeletal modification in response to flow during growth in colonies of the sea whip, Junceella fragilis
Meeting Abstract P1.47 Jan. 4 Skeletal modification in response to flow during growth in colonies of the sea whip, Junceella fragilis CHANG, W-L*; CHI, K-J; FAN, T-Y; DAI, C-F; NTU; NCHU; NMMBA; NTU s852360@yahoo.com.tw Marine sessile organisms depend on water motion for important physiological functions yet face dislodgement or breakage caused by hydrodynamic forces. During growth, these […]
Sex Specific Morphology of Neonate Sea Turtles Comparisons of Three Species
Meeting Abstract P1.60 Jan. 4 Sex Specific Morphology of Neonate Sea Turtles: Comparisons of Three Species WYNEKEN, J*; CERIANI, S; Florida Atlantic University; Florida Atlantic University jwyneken@fau.edu Historically identifying the sex of neonate sea turtles based on gross morphology is problematic and is often based on gonad histological sections. Because of their protected species status, sex ratios […]

Salinity-stimulated induction of carbonic anhydrase in the gills of the green crab, Carcinus maenas
Meeting Abstract P1.77 Jan. 4 Salinity-stimulated induction of carbonic anhydrase in the gills of the green crab, Carcinus maenas CAMMACK, L*; JILLETTE, N; HENRY, RP; Auburn University; Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory; Auburn University henryrp@auburn.edu The enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an important molecular component of low salinity adaptation in the gills of C. maenas. CA activity […]
