Thyroid hormone regulation of iodothyronine deiodinase and thyroid hormone receptor transcripts in parrotfish
Meeting Abstract P1.36 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Thyroid hormone regulation of iodothyronine deiodinase and thyroid hormone receptor transcripts in parrotfish JOHNSON, K.M.; LEMA, S.C.*; Univ. of North Carolina, Wilmington; Univ. of North Carolina, Wilmington lemas@uncw.edu Thyroid hormones play key roles in regulating development and growth, reproduction, osmoregulation and behaviors associated with rheotaxis and migration in fish. These diverse […]

Theoretical modeling of flying snake glide trajectories
Meeting Abstract P1.113 Tuesday, Jan. 4 Theoretical modeling of flying snake glide trajectories JAFARI, F.*; SOCHA, J.J.; Virginia Tech jafari@vt.edu Gliding represents an efficient mode of locomotion for arboreal animals, but gliders must move through the air without losing control. Although most gliders create aerodynamic forces using static structures such as outstretched patagia to form ‘wings’, flying […]
The role of wing geometry on batoid gait selection
Meeting Abstract P1.117 Tuesday, Jan. 4 The role of wing geometry on batoid gait selection BLAIR, J.T.*; IWASAKI, T.; Univ. of Virginia; Univ. of Virginia jtb8s@virginia.edu A dynamic model of batoid swimming is developed and analyzed for three specific species: the Atlantic, Butterfly, and Cownose rays. These species are chosen for their close biological relationship and variety […]

Meeting Abstract P1.51 Tuesday, Jan. 4 The role of Wnt and Decapentaplegic signaling on postembryonic leg development and lipid homeostasis in the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum . NAMIGAI, E.K.**; SHAH, M.V.; SUZUKI, Y.; Wellesley College; Wellesley College; Wellesley College ysuzuki@wellesley.edu Holometabolous insects undergo complete metamorphosis, a developmental event characterized by striking changes in morphology. While many holometabolous […]
The role of BTB proteins Abrupt and Bric-a-brac in the establishment of tarsal segmentation and larval leg regeneration in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum
Meeting Abstract P1.58 Tuesday, Jan. 4 The role of BTB proteins Abrupt and Bric-a-brac in the establishment of tarsal segmentation and larval leg regeneration in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. SZE, C.C.**; SUZUKI, Y.; Wellesley College; Wellesley College ysuzuki@wellesley.edu Metamorphosis is a life history strategy that involves dramatic reorganization of a juvenile to form a complex adult […]
