Mate-guarding and Pair-bonding Behavior in Green Salamanders, Aneides aeneus
Meeting Abstract P1-156 Friday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Mate-guarding and Pair-bonding Behavior in Green Salamanders, Aneides aeneus CUPP, PV; Eastern Kentucky University paul.cupp@eku.edu Male Aneides aeneus arrive at home crevices and establish territories through chemical deposits and often aggression with other males. Females usually follow soon after. Thus, male-female pairs are formed in single rock crevices […]

Male social rank influences the immune response in an African cichlid fish
Meeting Abstract P1-188 Friday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Male social rank influences the immune response in an African cichlid fish KING, T/P*; MARUSKA, K/P; Louisiana State Univ.; Louisiana State Univ. tking21@lsu.edu For species living in dominance hierarchies, social rank dictates access to resources and often contributes to reproductive success. To ensure survival, individuals constantly evaluate trade-offs […]
Low-temperature winter dormancy alters thyrotropin immunoreactivity in the pituitary pars tuberalis of garter snakes
Meeting Abstract P1-139 Friday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Low-temperature winter dormancy alters thyrotropin immunoreactivity in the pituitary pars tuberalis of garter snakes. WINTERS, TJ*; LUTTERSCHMIDT, DI; Portland State University treven@pdx.edu The synchronization of physiology and behavior with favorable environmental conditions is tightly linked to an animal’s fitness. This synchronization depends on an organism’s ability to transduce […]
