Meeting Abstract P3.140 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Elemental and Energy Assimilation in the round stingray, Urobatis halleri PAIG-TRAN, EWM*; LOWE, C; Univ. of Washington; California State University Long Beach mpaig@u.washington.edu The elasmobranch digestive system contains a spiral fold that is believed to enlarge the exploitable surface area for digestion while maintaining a relatively short intestine. This leads to […]

Dorsoventral patterning by BMP-gremlin interactions in segmental ectoderm of the leech Helobdella
Meeting Abstract P3.50 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Dorsoventral patterning by BMP-gremlin interactions in segmental ectoderm of the leech Helobdella KUO, D.-H.*; WEISBLAT, D.A.; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of California, Berkeley dhkuo@berkeley.edu BMPs are evolutionarily conserved players in dorsoventral (DV) patterning of bilaterian embryos. They are best known acting as a morphogen in DV patterning of Drosophila and […]
Does nutritional state affect immune function in frogs
Meeting Abstract P3.95 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Does nutritional state affect immune function in frogs? BLACK, Samuel J*; CRESPI, Erica J; Vassar College; Vassar College sablack@vassar.edu With emerging diseases threatening global amphibian populations, there is a need to understand the physiological mechanisms that influence susceptibility to infection in frogs and salamanders. Because variation in nutritional status is one […]
Do the exaggerated eye stalks of stalk-eyed flies have a predation cost
Meeting Abstract P3.8 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Do the exaggerated eye stalks of stalk-eyed flies have a predation cost? HUSAK, J.F.*; WORTHINGTON, A.M.; SWALLOW, J.G.; Univ. of South Dakota jerry.husak@usd.edu When opponents compete for access to an indivisible resource, signals can reduce costs associated with competition for that resource. Theory predicts that for signals to remain reliable in […]
