The spectral sensitivity of stomatopod larvae
Meeting Abstract P3.105 Friday, Jan. 6 The spectral sensitivity of stomatopod larvae FELLER, Kathryn D*; CRONIN, Thomas W.; Kathryn D. Feller UMBC kfeller1@umbc.edu Adult stomatopods possess exceedingly complex visual systems with unique structural adaptations, unusual spectral filters, and a myriad of expressed visual pigments. Larval visual systems of these marine crustaceans, by comparison, are much simpler in […]
The role of the diaphragm and scalenus in the ventilation of striped and spotted dolphins (Stenella spp)
Meeting Abstract P3.15 Friday, Jan. 6 The role of the diaphragm and scalenus in the ventilation of striped and spotted dolphins (Stenella spp.) ROBERTSON, J.J.**; DEAROLF, J.L.; Hendrix College, Conway, AR robertsonjj@hendrix.edu The major ventilatory muscle in most mammalian ventilatory systems is the diaphragm, yet its role in dolphin ventilation seems to be diminished. Research on the […]
