Meeting Abstract P1.122 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Masticatory Musculature of Dietarily Diverse Musteloid Carnivorans DAVIS, JS*; WILLIAMS, SH; Ohio University; Ohio University jd330008@ohio.edu The masticatory muscles of most mammalian species must produce complex masticatory movements while balancing the often-conflicting demands of gape, force generation, and stability. This set of requirements is reflected in their complex architecture. Perhaps […]

Many-to-many mapping of phenotype to performance an extension of the F-matrix for studying functional complexity
Meeting Abstract P1.102 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Many-to-many mapping of phenotype to performance: an extension of the F-matrix for studying functional complexity MCELROY, E.J.*; BERGMANN, P.J.; College of Charleston; Clark University mcelroye@cofc.edu An organism’s functional system is defined by the relationships between its suite of morphological traits and performance capacities. The functional system is important because it […]
Male green treefrogs use acoustic signals to manipulate the stress physiology of receivers
Meeting Abstract P1.15 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Male green treefrogs use acoustic signals to manipulate the stress physiology of receivers LEARY, C.J.; Univ. of Mississippi cjleary@olemiss.edu Agonistic interactions among male anurans characteristically involve the exchange of acoustic signals. Detection of nearby conspecific males, for instance, often results in the production of advertisement calls that are directed at […]
Macroevolutionary Impact of Hypothesized Artiodactyl Key Innovations
Meeting Abstract P1.199 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Macroevolutionary Impact of Hypothesized Artiodactyl Key Innovations O’BRIEN, H.D.; Ohio University haley.d.obrien@gmail.com Many fruitful macroevolutionary studies focus on extreme differential survivorship of phenotypically similar clades, such as the ungulate orders Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla. Although similar in phenotype, life history, and historic diversity, there are 14-fold more artiodactyl taxa. This pattern […]
Loss of scent while following plume results in search-like behavior with no evidence of reliance on geomagnetic cues in the nudibranch Tritonia tetraquetra

Meeting Abstract P1.203 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Lack of Song in Females Does Not Drive Sexual Dimorphism in Syringeal Muscle Composition CHRISTENSEN, L.A.*; MEYERS, R.A.; GOLLER, F.; Weber State University, Ogden, UT; Weber State University, Ogden, UT; University of Utah rmeyers@weber.edu The avian syrinx uses four pairs of intrinsic muscles to control song production. Previous work in […]
Isolating the effects of T4 and T3 on cartilage growth and cartilage shape change in Xenopus tadpoles
Meeting Abstract P1.159 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Isolating the effects of T4 and T3 on cartilage growth and cartilage shape change in Xenopus tadpoles ROSE, C.S.*; CAHILL, J.W.; James Madison Univ., Harrisonburg, Va; James Madison Univ., Harrisonburg, Va rosecs@jmu.edu Experimental investigations of how thyroid hormone (TH) regulates metamorphic remodeling in Xenopus at the molecular and cellular levels […]
Investigations of segmental regeneration in Lumbriculus variegatus
Meeting Abstract P1.145 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Investigations of segmental regeneration in Lumbriculus variegatus SUNSONG, R.C.*; MARTINEZ-ACOSTA, V.G.; Univ. of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio; Univ. of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio vgmartin@uiwtx.edu Gradients in regenerative capacity in Lumbriculus variegatus are reminiscent of morphogenic gradients that are responsible for early patterning of vertebrate body axis. Multiple studies […]
