Developmental Reaction Norms in the Phenotypes of Scutelliform Echinoid Skeletons
Meeting Abstract P1.201 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Developmental Reaction Norms in the Phenotypes of Scutelliform Echinoid Skeletons ZACHOS, L G; University of Mississippi lgzachos@olemiss.edu Using a holistic morphometric method based on Geographic Information System technology, recurring themes (developmental reaction norms) in phenotypic expression of skeletal architectures are demonstrated for a group of scutelliform sand dollar echinoids. In […]

Determinants of muscle shape change during lengthening and shortening contractions
Meeting Abstract P1.72 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Determinants of muscle shape change during lengthening and shortening contractions GIDMARK, NJ*; KONOW, N; ARELLANO, C; ROBERTS, TJ; Brown University gidmark@uw.edu As a muscle contracts, it can change shape. In pennate muscles, the line of action of a muscle fiber diverges from that of the whole muscle-tendon unit (MTU). Therefore, […]
