The Prudent Parent Meets Old Age Senescence in Thick-billed Murres
Meeting Abstract P1.16 Monday, Jan. 4 The Prudent Parent Meets Old Age: Senescence in Thick-billed Murres ELLIOTT, KH*; GASTON, AJ; U. Manitoba; Env. Can. urialomvia@gmail.com The “rate of living” theory suggests a tradeoff between metabolism and survival. It is supported by inverse correlations between metabolic rate and survival rates, however charadriiform seabirds are exceptional in having long […]
The Functional Morphology and Transmitter Distribution an Olfactory Organ of Tritonia diomedea
Meeting Abstract P1.99 Monday, Jan. 4 The Functional Morphology and Transmitter Distribution an Olfactory Organ of Tritonia diomedea CAIN, S. D.*; CLARK, M.; KELLY, D.; Eastern Oregon University; Eastern Oregon University; Eastern Oregon University shaun.cain@eou.edu The sea slug Tritonia diomedea has become a model for investigating the neural mechanisms that underlie orientation and navigation behavior. Previous research […]
The Cheek during Mastication Activity of the Buccinator Muscle
Meeting Abstract P1.153 Monday, Jan. 4 The Cheek during Mastication: Activity of the Buccinator Muscle HERRING, S.W.*; DUTRA, E.; CARIA, P.H.F.; RAFFERTY, K.L.; Univ. of Washington; Univ. of Washington; UNICAMP, Brazil; Univ. of Washington herring@u.washington.edu The buccinator muscle forms the lateral wall of the mammalian oral cavity. It is presumed to aid mastication by maintaining bolus position. […]
Testing for the action of selection on genome rearrangement dynamics deep in the metazoan tree
Meeting Abstract P1.9 Monday, Jan. 4 Testing for the action of selection on genome rearrangement dynamics deep in the metazoan tree. PUTNAM, Nicholas H; Rice University nputnam@rice.edu Recent genome sequencing efforts have dramatically expanded the sampling of metazoan diversity represented among sequenced genomes. One unexpected result yielded by comparisons among these genomes is that large-scale organization of […]
Testing an inverted pendulum model for underwater walking in the crab Carcinus maenus
Meeting Abstract P1.172 Monday, Jan. 4 Testing an inverted pendulum model for underwater walking in the crab Carcinus maenus. NORTON, E.*; ELLERS, O.; JOHNSON, A.S.; Bowdoin College; Bowdoin College; Bowdoin College enorton2@bowdoin.edu Terrestrial walking has been well studied, but underwater walking has not. We use an underwater version of the inverted pendulum and a dynamic underwater Froude […]
Succession of dipterans in container communities Is the IFC hypothesis supported in an animal community
Meeting Abstract P1.47 Monday, Jan. 4 Succession of dipterans in container communities: Is the IFC hypothesis supported in an animal community? MURRELL, E.G.*; JULIANO, S.A.; Illinois State University, Normal, IL egmurre@ilstu.edu Many hypotheses for mechanisms of ecological succession focus on terrestrial plant communities, but could also potentially apply to animal communities. We used aquatic macroinvertebrate container communities […]
Studies on the signaling pathways regulating facultative and constitutive ecdysteroidogenesis in the crustacean molting gland
Meeting Abstract P1.122 Monday, Jan. 4 Studies on the signaling pathways regulating facultative and constitutive ecdysteroidogenesis in the crustacean molting gland REGELSON, K.W.*; COVI, J.S.; CHANG, S.A.; CHANG, E.S.; MYKLES, D.L.; Colorado State Univ; Colorado State Univ; UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab; UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab; Colorado State Univ aindeamhan@gmail.com Ecdysteroidogenesis in the molting gland, or […]
Studies of ocean acidification the physiological response of marine larval snails to elevated COsub2sub
Meeting Abstract P1.51 Monday, Jan. 4 Studies of ocean acidification: the physiological response of marine larval snails to elevated CO2 ZIPPAY, M.L.*; HOFMANN, G.E.; Univ. of California, Santa Barbara; Univ. of California, Santa Barbara zippay@lifesci.ucsb.edu Over the last 200 years, the ocean has been a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and has absorbed approximately 50% of […]
Strain accommodation in the zygomatic arch of the pig (Sus scrofa) in vitro and in silico
Meeting Abstract P1.138 Monday, Jan. 4 Strain accommodation in the zygomatic arch of the pig (Sus scrofa) in vitro and in silico. BRIGHT, J.A.*; GRÖNING, F.; University of Bristol; University of York j.bright@bristol.ac.uk It has been suggested that mammalian cranial sutures act to reduce the levels of strain experienced by the skull during feeding. A complete skull […]
