Retreat from the heat Are burrowing traits in red-backed salamanders correlated with climate

Meeting Abstract P1-121  Monday, Jan. 4 15:30  Retreat from the heat: Are burrowing traits in red-backed salamanders correlated with climate? BAILEY, S.D.*; NOVARRO, A.J.; University of Virginia; University of Maryland sdb3xf@virginia.edu Many animals are able to live in a wide range of environmental conditions. For example, widespread species tolerate a broad range of temperature and moisture conditions. […]

Meeting Abstract P1-186  Monday, Jan. 4 15:30  Relationship between neuropeptide Y, arginine vasotocin, and seasonal life-history transitions in red-sided garter snakes. LUCAS, A.R.*; RICHARDS, D.Y.; RAMIREZ, L.M.; LUTTERSCHMIDT, D.I.; Portland State Univ., OR ashley.maine@yahoo.com Many animals exhibit seasonal changes in life-history stages that are often accompanied by dramatic switches in behavior. For example, migration is frequently accompanied […]

Regional expression of “vocal learning” genes in brains of Hyla cinerea

Meeting Abstract P1-155  Monday, Jan. 4 15:30  Regional expression of “vocal learning” genes in brains of Hyla cinerea SINKIEWICZ, DM*; WILCZYNSKI, W; Georgia State University; Georgia State University dsinkiewicz1@student.gsu.edu Acoustic communication, including vocalization, occurs in many animal species. Vocal animals produce either unlearned/innate sounds or a combination of both unlearned and learned sounds. Research into the molecular […]
