Skeletal Anatomy in the Chondrichthyan Tree of Life
Meeting Abstract P3-188 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Skeletal Anatomy in the Chondrichthyan Tree of Life CRAWFORD, C.H.*; NAYLOR, G.J.P.; College of Charleston; College of Charleston crawford.callie@gmail.com Current understanding of the Chondrichthyan phylogeny lags behind that of many other vertebrate classes. Many of the studies conducted to date have produced conflicting topologies. In an effort to address the […]
Size dependent herbivory of stems within patches of an understory clonal tree, Asimina triloba, by an outbreaking specialist herbivore, Omphalocera munroei
Meeting Abstract P3-128 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Size dependent herbivory of stems within patches of an understory clonal tree, Asimina triloba, by an outbreaking specialist herbivore, Omphalocera munroei. PAULSON, T J*; MERCADER, R J; University of Tennessee tpaulson@vols.utk.edu 1. The effect of herbivorous insect population outbreaks on understory plant dynamics are relatively understudied. In particular, the influence […]
Shape Analysis of the Jaws in Two Minnow Species over Ontogeny
Meeting Abstract P3-167 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Shape Analysis of the Jaws in Two Minnow Species over Ontogeny GERTH, CJ*; MAIA, A; Eastern Illinois University; Eastern Illinois University cjgerth@eiu.edu The complex niche of a fish species is difficult to define, but morphological traits are useful indicators of niche dimensions. Fish morphology partly reflects the evolutionary history and […]
Sexual selection by the seashore mate choice and competition in the maritime earwig
Meeting Abstract P3-60 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Sexual selection by the seashore: mate choice and competition in the maritime earwig KENDALL-BAR, J.M.*; IYENGAR, V.K.; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Villanova University jmkb999@gmail.com http://jessiekb.com Sexual selection often leads to exaggerated traits that provide reproductive advantages either through mate choice (intersexual selection for ornaments) or competition (intrasexual selection for armaments).

Sensory tests of hawkmoth associated floral volatiles
Meeting Abstract P3-49 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Sensory tests of hawkmoth associated floral volatiles BROADHEAD, GT*; RAGUSO, RA; Cornell University; Cornell University gtb49@cornell.edu Floral chemistry characterizing different pollination syndromes suggests that there are some specific floral volatiles with more significance to certain classes of pollinator. For example, the scent associated with flowers within the hawkmoth pollination syndrome […]

Seasonal Modulation of Corticosterone in Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis)
Meeting Abstract P3-83 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Seasonal Modulation of Corticosterone in Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) DUCKWORTH, B/M*; JAWOR, J/M; Univ. of Southern Mississippi; Univ. of Southern Mississippi benjaminduckworth@hotmail.com Seasonal regulation of the adrenocortical response (e.g., ‘stress response’) appears to be ubiquitous in mid- to high-latitude vertebrates. Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) are a temperate dwelling passerine of […]
Salty frogs Saltwater tolerance in coastal anurans
Meeting Abstract P3-14 Tuesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Salty frogs: Saltwater tolerance in coastal anurans ALBECKER, M.A.*; MCCOY, M.W.; East Carolina University; East Carolina University albeckerm09@students.ecu.edu As sea levels rise from global climate change, animals inhabiting coastal wetlands will be increasingly exposed to elevated and more variable salinities. While it is presumed that anurans are poor osmoregulators and […]
