Meeting Abstract S1-1.2  Wednesday, Jan. 4  How Drosophila larvae navigate SAMUEL, Aravi*; GERSHOW, Marc; KANE, Elizabeth; KLEIN, Mason; LUO, Linjiao; AFONSO, Bruno; VONNER, Ashley; Harvard University samuel@physics.harvard.edu How do Drosophila larvae navigate their environments? Using high-throughput quantitative tracking methods with single-animal resolution, we have uncovered the behavioral strategies of larva navigating a variety of defined environments. By […]

Meeting Abstract S1-1.1  Wednesday, Jan. 4  A comparative analysis of gastrulation in Deuterostomians using digital embryos PEYRIéRAS, Nadine; Institut de Neurobiologie Alfred Fessard, CNRS peyriéras@inaf.cnrs-gif.fr Embryonic development leading from the egg cell to the whole organism can be fully described by the spatio temporal deployment of the cell lineage tree annotated with quantitative parameters for cell membrane […]

Meeting Abstract S1-1.3  Friday, Jan. 4  The role of chemicals in interactions between inking molluscs and their predators DERBY, Charles; Georgia State University cderby@gsu.edu Inking is a striking behavior of marine molluscs such as sea hares, octopus, squid, and cuttlefish. Inking can function as an antipredatory defense by acting as a visual smoke screen or visual decoy, […]

Meeting Abstract S1-1.0  Friday, Jan. 4  Symposium Introduction MCHENRY, M; COMBES, S

Meeting Abstract S1-1.1  Friday, Jan. 4  SEARCH GAMES IN REALISTIC PREDATOR-PREY INTERACTIONS CASAS, Jerome; University of Tours (FRANCE) casas@univ-tours.fr I will present two cases of predator-prey search games, wolf-spiders and wood crickets on one hand and a microlepidopteron leafminer and its parasitoid on the other hand. Much is known about the sensory ecology background as well as […]

Meeting Abstract S1-1.4  Friday, Jan. 4  Guidance laws underlying prey capture in the dragonfly LEONARDO, A; Janelia Farm / HHMI leonardoa@janelia.hhmi.org Dragonflies are aerial predators that intercept small flying insects. Classic studies from Olberg, using single high speed camera recordings of dragonflies foraging outdoors, have suggested that the basic mechanism underlying these interception flights is the active […]
