An Ecomorphological Approach to Understanding Feeding in Butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae)
Meeting Abstract P3.71 Thursday, Jan. 6 An Ecomorphological Approach to Understanding Feeding in Butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) COPUS, J.M.*; GIBB, A.C.; Northern Arizona University; Northern Arizona University jmc374@nau.edu We investigate the relationship between morphology and diet in the Lepidochaetodon subgenus of butterflyfish using laboratory studies of several species consuming a variety of ecologically relevant food items. Chaetodon trichrous and […]
A sigh of relief metabolic rates of hatchling snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) decrease upon entry into aquatic habitats
Meeting Abstract P3.74 Thursday, Jan. 6 A sigh of relief: metabolic rates of hatchling snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) decrease upon entry into aquatic habitats. FINKLER, M.S.; Indiana Univ., Kokomo mfinkler@iuk.edu Although elevated metabolism during nest emergence and dispersion is well documented in sea turtles, little is known about potential changes in metabolic rate during the first few […]

A Warmer Start The correlation between vertebral development and C-start efficiency in Danio rerio
Meeting Abstract P3.50 Thursday, Jan. 6 A Warmer Start: The correlation between vertebral development and C-start efficiency in Danio rerio ACKERLY, K. L.*; WARD, A. B. ; Adelphi University kerriackerly@yahoo.com The environment in which an individual develops significantly impacts that individual’s morphology and, subsequently, locomotory performance. In fishes, previous research has shown that fish raised in lower […]
