Ecological genomics of ocean acidification habitat-related differences in response to elevated COsub2sub in larval sea urchins
Meeting Abstract P1.53 Monday, Jan. 4 Ecological genomics of ocean acidification: habitat-related differences in response to elevated CO2 in larval sea urchins. MATSON, P.G.*; HOFMANN, G.E.; Univ. of California, Santa Barbara; Univ. of California, Santa Barbara matson@lifesci.ucsb.edu Little is currently known about how anthropogenic induced climate change will impact marine organisms. Ocean acidification (OA) may have a […]

Meeting Abstract P1.37 Monday, Jan. 4 Do guinea pig fetuses express lung surfactant proteins after being exposed to betamethasone at seventy-percent gestation LAU, F.O.**; TAYLOR, K.N.; BAATZ, J.E.; DEAROLF, J.L.; Hendrix College, Conway, AR; the Medical College of Charleston, S.C. laufo@hendrix.edu Glucocorticoids are used in clinical medicine because they stimulate the development of the lungs, which decreases […]
Disruption of hedgehog signaling during different developmental stages in zebrafish reveals discrete cranial features potentially affected by regulation of hedgehog during evolution
Meeting Abstract P1.69 Monday, Jan. 4 Disruption of hedgehog signaling during different developmental stages in zebrafish reveals discrete cranial features potentially affected by regulation of hedgehog during evolution ESTEVA-SANDERS, A*; HERNANDEZ, LP; George Washington University; George Washington University aees001@gwmail.gwu.edu Hedgehog signaling has been shown to play an important role in proper craniofacial development. While the role of […]
Differential Gene Expression during Diapause in the Flesh Fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis by Subtractive Hybridization Library Screening
Meeting Abstract P1.42 Monday, Jan. 4 Differential Gene Expression during Diapause in the Flesh Fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis by Subtractive Hybridization Library Screening JOPLIN, Karl H*; SEIER, Edith; KARKI, Puja; BRAY, Alicia; ETSU; ETSU; ETSU; ETSU joplin@etsu.edu Diapause is a strategy that many insects use to survive seasonally recurring unfavorable environmental conditions. Facultative diapause has been shown to […]

Developmental plasticity and robustness of pigmentation in the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus
Meeting Abstract P1.60 Monday, Jan. 4 Developmental plasticity and robustness of pigmentation in the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus JIN, L.**; SHARMA, A.*; SUZUKI, Y.; Wellesley College; Wellesley College; Wellesley College ysuzuki@wellesley.edu Complex traits often exhibit phenotypic plasticity, the ability of an organism to alter its developmental trajectory in different genetic or environmental contexts. Yet why some traits […]
Development of the chick costal joint
Meeting Abstract P1.63 Monday, Jan. 4 Development of the chick costal joint WINSLOW, B. B.*; BURKE, A. C.; Wesleyan University; Wesleyan University bwinslow@wesleyan.edu The development of synovial (diarthrodial) joints appears to be largely conserved between species and across anatomical locations. Synovial joints are thought to develop by segmentation of cartilaginous condensations, followed by cavitation to form a […]
