The effects of FMRFamide and APKQYVRFamide on the same isolated crop-gizzards of earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris
Meeting Abstract P3-109 Monday, Jan. 6 The effects of FMRFamide and APKQYVRFamide on the same isolated crop-gizzards of earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris FARMER, L.*; KRAJNIAK, K.; Southern Illinois University Edwardsville lofarme@siue.edu The motility of the earthworm crop-gizzard is modulated by several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Among these molecules are FMRFamide and APKQYVRFAmide. FMRFamide has been found in worms from […]

The Role of a Thiamine-degrading Enzyme in Shaping Trophic Ecology of Watersnakes
Meeting Abstract P3-69 Monday, Jan. 6 The Role of a Thiamine-degrading Enzyme in Shaping Trophic Ecology of Watersnakes CHAMBERLAIN, JD; Southern Arkansas University jchamberlain@saumag.edu Thiaminase is a relatively understudied protein that is present in a variety of plant and animal tissues including some ferns, bivalves, and fish. While there has been a growing body of work examining […]
The Role of Aromatization in Male Brown Anole Sexual Behavior
Meeting Abstract P3-61 Monday, Jan. 6 The Role of Aromatization in Male Brown Anole Sexual Behavior SOLIS, GM*; HUSAK, JF; University of St. Thomas soli8428@stthomas.edu Brown anole lizards pose a perplexing example of neural steroid regulation in reproductive behavior. While testosterone is perceived to be the crucial steroid in male aggression, the low baseline levels of testosterone […]
The Reproductive Effects of Supplemental Nutrition in an Income-breeding Snake
Meeting Abstract P3-100 Monday, Jan. 6 The Reproductive Effects of Supplemental Nutrition in an Income-breeding Snake OCHS, RA*; CHAMBERLAIN, JD; Southern Arkansas University; Southern Arkansas University raochs7784@muleriders.saumag.edu Maternal fitness of animals is tightly correlated with allocation of maternal resources to gametes and resulting offspring. Understanding how animals physiologically achieve this allocation process and what are its limitations […]
