Primate hand postures across symmetrical and asymmetrical gaits
Meeting Abstract P3.55 Saturday, Jan. 5 Primate hand postures across symmetrical and asymmetrical gaits PATEL, B.A.*; UPPAL, K.; POLK, J.D.; Ohio Univ.; Stony Brook Univ.; Univ. Illinois patelb@oucom.ohiou.edu Understanding how joint postures are influenced by speed and gait provides insight into the mechanical constraints placed on joint function. Speed and gait are relevant variables since increasing locomotor […]
Predicting Habitat Associations from the Pectoral and Caudal Fin Aspect Ratios of Surfperches (Embiotocidae)
Meeting Abstract P3.115 Saturday, Jan. 5 Predicting Habitat Associations from the Pectoral and Caudal Fin Aspect Ratios of Surfperches (Embiotocidae) PERLMAN, Benjamin M.; Moss Landing Marine Laboratories bperlman@mlml.calstate.edu It has been suggested that the dynamics of different swimming modes of fishes may constrain their ecology. Two labriform modes used by embiotocids are flapping and rowing. Flapping has […]

Pharmacological Characterization of the Earthworm Gizzard Cholinergic Receptor
Meeting Abstract P3.71 Saturday, Jan. 5 Pharmacological Characterization of the Earthworm Gizzard Cholinergic Receptor KRAJNIAK, K.G.*; ONYANGO, E.; Southern Ill. Univ. Edwardsville; Southern Ill. Univ. Edwardsville kkrajni@siue.edu Previous work in our laboratory has shown that the contractions of the isolated earthworm crop-gizzard can be modified by several different neurotransmitters including acetylcholine. In Lumbricus terrestris acetylcholine has a […]
Perspectives of scale the influence of body size, thermoregulation, and movement on the potential for interspecific interactions
Meeting Abstract P3.125 Saturday, Jan. 5 Perspectives of scale: the influence of body size, thermoregulation, and movement on the potential for interspecific interactions SMITH, J.J.*; SEARS, M.W.; Southern Illinois University; Southern Illinois University jjs1@siu.edu The grain, or scale, that an individual organism experiences its thermal environment will largely be determined by its body size. Smaller organisms are […]
