Ontogenetic patterns of locomotion in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) and mantled howlers ( Alouatta palliata )
Meeting Abstract P1.45 Jan. 4 Ontogenetic patterns of locomotion in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) and mantled howlers ( Alouatta palliata ) BEZANSON, M; Santa Clara University bezanson@email.arizona.edu Across primates, the degree to which coordination and increases in body mass during ontogeny are limiting factors in the development of adult-like locomotor competence is unclear. Wild white-faced capuchins (Cebus […]
Nonrandom trematode (Echinostoma trivolvis) infection in experimentally paired amphibian species assemblages
Meeting Abstract P1.22 Jan. 4 Nonrandom trematode (Echinostoma trivolvis) infection in experimentally paired amphibian species assemblages CHAMBERS, D.L.*; BELDEN, L.K.; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech dlchamb@vt.edu Due to an established link between many amphibian deformities and infection with the parasitic trematode, Ribeiroia ondatrae, there is growing interest in the impact of parasitic infection in amphibians. However, we still […]
New methods for measuring convergence with quantitative data and a comparison of convergence in real and simulated data sets
Meeting Abstract P1.138 Jan. 4 New methods for measuring convergence with quantitative data and a comparison of convergence in real and simulated data sets STAYTON, C.T.; Bucknell University tstayton@bucknell.edu Convergence is a central concept in evolutionary biology, and is often taken as evidence for adaptation or constraint, yet convergent evolution itself remains a poorly defined phenomenon. Existing […]

Myofiber hyperplasia underlies polyphenic development in spadefoot toad larvae
Meeting Abstract P1.107 Jan. 4 Myofiber hyperplasia underlies polyphenic development in spadefoot toad larvae STORZ, Brian/L*; MOERLAND, Timothy/S; Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL; Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL bstorz@bio.fsu.edu Tadpoles of at least two species of spadefoot toads show developmental polyphenism, in which one genotype can produce multiple phenotypes. Larvae hatch with the �typical� omnivorous phenotype, but […]
Multimodal Cues for Defense in Aposematic Nudibranchs (Opisthobranchia Phyllidiidae)
Meeting Abstract P1.15 Jan. 4 Multimodal Cues for Defense in Aposematic Nudibranchs (Opisthobranchia: Phyllidiidae) RITSON-WILLIAMS, R.*; PAUL, V.J.; Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce; Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce williams@sms.si.edu The use of bright coloration to warn predators of toxic prey, termed aposematism, is a defensive strategy well studied in terrestrial ecosystems. Some marine animals have […]
