Meeting Abstract P1.119 Jan. 4 Early Learning of Behavioral Phenotypes in Red Crossbills SEWALL, K.*; HAHN, T. P.; University of California, Davis; University of California, Davis kbsewall@ucdavis.edu Behavioral phenotype can be shaped by learning. The fidelity with which animals learn the behavioral patterns of their parents can impact their fitness and drive population divergence. For behavioral traits […]

Developmental plasticity and heterochronic shifts induced by hypoxic conditions during early embryogenesis of zebrafish, Danio rerio
Meeting Abstract P1.10 Jan. 4 Developmental plasticity and heterochronic shifts induced by hypoxic conditions during early embryogenesis of zebrafish, Danio rerio SCHMIDT, K.U.; STARCK, J.M.*; Univ. Munich, Germany starck@uni-muenchen.de During the phylotypic stage vertebrate embryos pass through a period of morphological similarity. In zebrafish, Danio rerio, multiple correlations among characters stabilize morphology during the phylotypic stage, but […]
