Meeting Abstract P1.165 Monday, Jan. 4 Head-bobbing and terrestrial locomotion in charadriiform birds HANCOCK, Jennifer A.*; BIKNEVICIUS, Audrone R.; Marietta College, Marietta, OH; Ohio University, Athens, OH jah006@marietta.edu Head-bobbing is the fore-aft movement of the head relative to the body during terrestrial locomotion in birds. It is predominately considered to be an optomotor response, in which the […]

Genomic Basis for Sex-Role Phenotypes
Meeting Abstract P1.1 Monday, Jan. 4 Genomic Basis for Sex-Role Phenotypes WOOD, Kelsey*; LANGDON, Quinn; SCHUMER, Molly; RENN, Suzy; Reed College, Portland OR renns@reed.edu For many animals, the expression of sex-typical behavior can be plastic depending on the social environment. We use the African Julidochromis cichlid fish as a model to determine the underlying physiological and molecular […]

Force generation and viscoelastic resistance in the amphibian embryonic epithelium
Meeting Abstract P1.32 Monday, Jan. 4 Force generation and viscoelastic resistance in the amphibian embryonic epithelium VON DASSOW, M.*; DAVIDSON, L.A.; Univ. of Pittsburgh; Univ. of Pittsburgh mvondass@yahoo.com The morphogenetic movements of amphibian (Xenopus laevis) gastrulation proceed despite great variation in tissue stiffness, including both natural and experimental variation. To explore whether coupling between force generation and […]
