Rapid masculinization of the vocal central pattern generator of the frog, Xenopus laevis
Meeting Abstract P3-65 Saturday, Jan. 7 15:30 – 17:30 Rapid masculinization of the vocal central pattern generator of the frog, Xenopus laevis STEELE, T*; ZORNIK, E; Reed College thesteel@reed.edu African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) produce mating calls driven by a central pattern generator (CPG). Calls are sexually differentiated, and male courtship vocalizations require circulating androgens. Previous work […]

Quantifying Electrosensory Ampullae on the Operculum of Developing Paddlefish
Meeting Abstract P3-241 Saturday, Jan. 7 15:30 – 17:30 Quantifying Electrosensory Ampullae on the Operculum of Developing Paddlefish HELLIER, RG*; ROBERTSON, JC; Westminster College, PA hellrg22@wclive.westminster.edu Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) are freshwater, filter-feeding fish with a highly developed electrosensory system that the fish use to interact with their environment. The functional units of electrosensation are ampullae of Lorenzini; […]

Power Analysis of a Novel Nonlinear Phylogenetic Regression Model
Meeting Abstract P3-209 Saturday, Jan. 7 15:30 – 17:30 Power Analysis of a Novel Nonlinear Phylogenetic Regression Model WILBUR, JJ*; MORINAGA, G; BERGMANN, PJ; Clark University; Clark University; Clark University JWilbur@clarku.edu It has long been understood that phylogenetic relationships must be accounted for in the analysis of comparative data due to non-independence resulting from common ancestry. However, […]
