LONDRAVILLE, RL; NIEWIAROWSKI, PH; SHAUVER, L; SPENCER, J; University of Akron; University of Akron; University of Akron; University of Akron: Inquiry labs for Biology majors result in significant improvements in logical thinking skills, confidence in biology, and attitude toward science. UA Biology has dramatically redesigned our introductory Biology majors lab course, such that all labs […]

CROLL, R.P.; FINNEY, J.L.; SMITH, F.M.; Dalhousie Univ.; Dalhousie Univ.; Dalhousie Univ.: Innervation of the Swimbladder in the Zebrafish, Danio rerio The zebrafish has emerged as an important model organism used to understand basic principles of development. However, while much work has focussed on the development of the central nervous system, little is known about […]

SCHAUM, J.C.*; WUNDERLICH, R.E.; James Madison University: Hindlimb kinematics during bipedalism in Propithecus verreauxi Bipedalism is rare in primates and has occurred in 2 distantly related groups, hominoids and indrids. Although copious data are available on the mechanics of bipedal locomotion in hominoids and vertical clinging and leaping (VCL) in indrids, no research has addressed […]

GRIEGO MARSH, AM; WICKLER, SJ; HOYT, DF; DUTTO, DJ; COGGER, EA; California State Polytechnic University, Pomona: Hind limb muscle function during decline locomotion in the horse The cost of transport (ml O2/m) decreases substantially on a 10% decline. We hypothesized that this decreased cost was due to increased eccentric activity and, as a result of […]

SZYMIK, Brett G; SATTERLIE, Richard A; Arizona State University; Arizona State University: High speed video analysis of Clione limacina swimming The pteropod mollusk Clione limacina swims with alternate dorsal and ventral flexions of its wing-shaped parapodia. By this means of underwater flight, Clione “hovers” in the water column despite being negatively buoyant. As an introduction […]
