Meeting Abstract P1-97 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Allometry and Reaction Norms: Wing-Body Scaling in Manduca sexta MCKENNA, KZ*; NIJHOUT, HF; Duke University; Duke University kzm@duke.edu Allometry, the proportional growth of the body and body parts, gives rise to the characteristic forms of species. Most studies concerned with allometry have focused on its role as a […]
Aerodynamic Imaging by Nocturnal Mosquitoes
Meeting Abstract P1-256 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Aerodynamic Imaging by Nocturnal Mosquitoes PHILLIPS, N; NAKATA, T; WALKER, SM; BOMPHREY, RJ*; Royal Veterinary College; Chiba University; Oxford University; Royal Veterinary College rbomphrey@rvc.ac.uk Nocturnal mosquitoes exhibit a behavioural response to divert away from surfaces despite visual cues being unavailable, indicating a short-range, non-visual collision avoidance mechanism. We […]
Ability to elevate testosterone varies with breeding stage in a competitive female songbird
Meeting Abstract P1-128 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Ability to elevate testosterone varies with breeding stage in a competitive female songbird GEORGE, EM*; ROSVALL, KA; Indiana University, Bloomington; Indiana University, Bloomington georgee@indiana.edu Prior social competition is thought to physiologically prime animals for future confrontations. Research on this phenomenon in vertebrates has largely focused on males and […]
