Examining the relationship between locomotor mode and rate of morphological evolution in frogs
Meeting Abstract P1.101 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Examining the relationship between locomotor mode and rate of morphological evolution in frogs. JORGENSEN, Michael,E.; Ohio University mj207406@ohio.edu Recent studies posit that habitat use affects the rate of morphological evolution in animals. Aspects of an animals’ morphology in part determine the way in which it interacts with its habitat. Anurans comprise […]

Despite the functional importance of […]
Evolutionary origin and diversification of adductor mandibula structure in cypriniform fishes
Meeting Abstract P1.108 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Evolutionary origin and diversification of adductor mandibula structure in cypriniform fishes STAAB, KL*; BETANCUR-R, R; HERNANDEZ, LP; George Washington Univ kstaab@gwu.edu Cypriniform fishes comprise over 25% of the world’s freshwater fishes and their success is likely due to adaptations associated with feeding. This diverse clade is united by several feeding novelties, […]
Evolutionary Origin and Divergence of the Growth HormoneProlactinSomtolactin Receptor Family Insights from Studies in Sea Lamprey
Meeting Abstract P1.33 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Evolutionary Origin and Divergence of the Growth Hormone/Prolactin/Somtolactin Receptor Family: Insights from Studies in Sea Lamprey ELLENS, E.R.*; KITTILSON, J.D.; SOWER, S.A.; SHERIDAN, M.A.; North Dakota St. Univ., Fargo elizabeth.ellens@my.ndsu.edu In this study, we sought to clarify the evolutionary origin and divergence of the growth hormone receptor (GHR)/prolactin receptor (PRLR)/somatolactin receptor […]

Evolution of the adductor mandibulae and premaxillary protrusion angle across eastern North American minnows (Cyprinidae)
Meeting Abstract P1.107 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Evolution of the adductor mandibulae and premaxillary protrusion angle across eastern North American minnows (Cyprinidae) HOLLINGSWORTH JR., PR*; HULSEY, CD; University of Tennessee phollin1@utk.edu Premaxillary protrusion is an important ecomorphological innovation driving the success of modern Teleosts. Cypriniformes exhibit a novel mechanism of premaxillary protrusion that is quite divergent from that […]
