An Examination of Durophagy and Associated Craniodental Traits in Varanus niloticus Using Finite Element Analysis
Meeting Abstract P1.105 Thursday, Jan. 3 An Examination of Durophagy and Associated Craniodental Traits in Varanus niloticus Using Finite Element Analysis HALL, J. T.; FARKE, A. A.*; Stony Brook University; Stony Brook University theropods@gmail.com Ontogenetic dietary changes in Nile monitor lizards, Varanus niloticus, have been observed in wild populations. Juvenile V. niloticus are generalized carnivores, eating opportunistically. […]
Adrenocortical responsiveness to capture and restraint in the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) effects of repeated handling
Meeting Abstract P1.75 Thursday, Jan. 3 Adrenocortical responsiveness to capture and restraint in the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis): effects of repeated handling LYNN, S.E.*; PRINCE, L.E.; The College of Wooster; The College of Wooster slynn@wooster.edu When faced with unpredictable conditions, most birds activate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, resulting in enhanced secretion of corticosterone (CORT). A standardized capture/restraint […]

A test for transgenerational plasticity in the heat stress tolerance of intertidal embryos
Meeting Abstract P1.87 Thursday, Jan. 3 A test for transgenerational plasticity in the heat stress tolerance of intertidal embryos PODOLSKY, R.D.; College of Charleston, SC podolskyr@cofc.edu Models of the evolution of phenotypic plasticity predict that plastic responses can evolve when organisms have predictive information about future environmental conditions and can respond on an appropriate time scale. Early […]
