Meeting Abstract P3.147 Sunday, Jan. 6 Behavioral Responses to Pulses of Light in the Longfin Inshore Squid, Doryteuthis Pealeii HADJISOLOMOU, S. P.; Graduate Center of The City University of New York stavrosh@brooklyn.cuny.edu The unshelled coleoid cephalopods (octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) are renowned for their rapid, adaptive camouflage which is under direct neural control. This anti-predatory mechanism is […]

Atmospheric oxygen availability affects insect thermotolerance at upper lethal temperatures, but oxygen delivery is not limiting under normoxia
Meeting Abstract P3.213 Sunday, Jan. 6 Atmospheric oxygen availability affects insect thermotolerance at upper lethal temperatures, but oxygen delivery is not limiting under normoxia DE LOS SANTOS, R; MCCUE, M.D.*; St. Mary’s University; St. Mary’s University mmccue1@stmarytx.edu Most natural environments experience fluctuating temperatures that acutely affect an organism’s physiology and ultimately a species’ biogeographic distribution. A popular […]
Anatomy of archosaur hip joint soft tissues and its significance for interpreting hindlimb function
Meeting Abstract P3.201 Sunday, Jan. 6 Anatomy of archosaur hip joint soft tissues and its significance for interpreting hindlimb function TSAI, H.T.*; HOLLIDAY, C.M.; Univ. of Missouri, Columbia; Univ. of Missouri, Columbia hptkr7@mail.missouri.edu Reconstructing the appendicular joint anatomy of archosaurs is critical for understanding their posture, locomotor behavior, ecology, and evolution. Soft tissue significantly contributes to the […]
