Meeting Abstract P1.83 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 The Canine Methylome: the impact of domestication on the regulatory genome. GNANADESIKAN, GE*; VONHOLDT, BM; Princeton University; Princeton University ggnanade@princeton.edu Domestic organisms provide a particularly useful context in which to study behavioral questions because the process of domestication itself involved artificial selection primarily on the basis of behavior. For example, […]

Synergistic effects of thyroid hormone and glucocorticoids on thymus gland involution in Xenopus laevis tadpoles
Meeting Abstract P1.155 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Synergistic effects of thyroid hormone and glucocorticoids on thymus gland involution in Xenopus laevis tadpoles MAUCH, E*; SCHREIBER, A.M.; St. Lawrence University, NY; St. Lawrence University, NY aschreiber@stlawu.edu Metamorphosis in anurans is accompanied by a dramatic loss of larval thymocytes as a new adult antibody repertoire is formed. Rising levels […]

Meeting Abstract P1.14 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Stress hormone diminishes directional selection on call rate in the green treefrog DAVIS, A.G.*; LEARY, C.J.; Univ. of Mississippi; Univ. of Mississippi agdavis@go.olemiss.edu There is growing evidence indicating that environmental stressors can influence mate choice by females but whether such effects are related to circulating stress hormone levels (e.g., glucocorticoids) […]
Stress as a modulator of immune function and sickness behavior in Passer domesticus
Meeting Abstract P1.70 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Stress as a modulator of immune function and sickness behavior in Passer domesticus MCDANIEL, DK*; DAVIS, J; Radford University; Radford University dkmcdaniel@radford.edu The vertebrate HPA axis is responsible for responding to external stressors that may or may not threaten the life of an organism. It does this by releasing glucocorticoids […]
