Limited sensitivity to aldosterone in salt glands of two lizard species with minimal variation in cation secretion
Meeting Abstract P3.160 Friday, Jan. 6 Limited sensitivity to aldosterone in salt glands of two lizard species with minimal variation in cation secretion HAZARD, L.C.*; SIERRA, J.; TERODEMOS, H.; CARO, L.; Montclair State University, NJ hazardl@mail.montclair.edu Many lizards use nasal salt glands to supplement renal excretion of excess dietary sodium and/or potassium (coupled with chloride). In some […]

Life history traits and senescence in six auk species
Meeting Abstract P3.130 Friday, Jan. 6 Life history traits and senescence in six auk species YOUNG, R.C.*; KITAYSKY, A.S.; Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks; Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks rebecca.young@alumni.iu.edu Current aging theories describe the senescence as caused by accumulated cellular damage, especially damage caused by oxidative stress. Telomeres are a new relatively non-invasive technique tha may be used […]

Kleptoplasty in the Foraminifera of Coastal South Carolina
Meeting Abstract P3.188 Friday, Jan. 6 Kleptoplasty in the Foraminifera of Coastal South Carolina LECHLITER, S. M.*; CEVASCO, M. H.; Coastal Carolina University smlechli@g.coastal.edu The phenomenon of kleptoplasty in which the plastids of algal prey are sequestered by predators/hosts and are kept functional (photosynthetically active) for an extended period of time (weeks/months), is examined in foraminiferal taxa […]

Chicago; Northwestern Univ.; Northwestern Univ.; Univ. Chicago mhgreen@uchicago.edu Larval zebrafish rhythmically beat their pectoral fins during many behaviors including low speed swimming, prey tracking and hovering; however, very little is known […]
Jumping performance of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) across a size gradient
Meeting Abstract P3.139 Friday, Jan. 6 Jumping performance of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) across a size gradient CARPENTER-CARTER, S.*; PERLMAN, B.M.; ASHLEY-ROSS, M.A.; Wake Forest University; Wake Forest University; Wake Forest University perlbm0@wfu.edu Some fishes may temporarily become stranded on land due to efforts to escape predation, find resources, or escape poor water quality. While adult mangrove […]
Is all injury equal Measuring the effect of repeated injury on sediment disturbance by the polychaete Abarenicola pacifica
Meeting Abstract P3.38 Friday, Jan. 6 Is all injury equal? Measuring the effect of repeated injury on sediment disturbance by the polychaete Abarenicola pacifica LINDSAY, S.M.; University of Maine slindsay@maine.edu Past research has shown that injury can decrease activity and sediment disturbance by infaunal polychaetes, thereby influencing sediment-mediated competition, adult-larval interactions and recruitment success in marine soft-sediment […]
