Meeting Abstract S11-9 Thursday, Jan. 7 14:00 Gill-specific salinity response in the blue crab and developing a comprehensive multi-species gill transcriptome HAVIRD, J.C.*; MITCHELL, R.T.; HENRY, R.P.; Colorado State University; MedStar Union Memorial Hospital; Auburn University justin.havird@colostate.edu http://jchavird.wix.com/jchavird The multi-functional crustacean gill acts as the primary site for regulation of many physiological processes that allow for the […]
Evolutionary physiology of euryhalinity and developmental transcriptomics in anchialine crustaceans
Meeting Abstract S11-11 Thursday, Jan. 7 15:00 Evolutionary physiology of euryhalinity and developmental transcriptomics in anchialine crustaceans SANTOS, Scott R.; Auburn University santos@auburn.edu http://www.auburn.edu/~santosr/ Technological advances in DNA sequencing such as Illumina’s Sequencing By Synthesis have made the generation and analyses of transcriptomes a rapid and economical endeavor across life. For crustaceans, characterizations of physiological or developmental […]

Meeting Abstract S11-4 Thursday, Jan. 7 10:00 Ecdysteroid control of limb regeneration and growth in the fiddler crab Uca pugilator using transcriptomics DURICA, D.S.*; DAS, S.; Univ. of Oklahoma ddurica@ou.edu http://www.genome.ou.edu/crab_Illumina.html A next generation sequencing approach was employed to study global gene expression patterns in three distinct stages of limb regeneration, and in blastemas with disrupted and […]
Analyses of crustacean peptidergic signaling systems using high-throughput transcriptome sequencing
Meeting Abstract S11-10 Thursday, Jan. 7 14:30 Analyses of crustacean peptidergic signaling systems using high-throughput transcriptome sequencing CHRISTIE, A.E.; University of Hawaii at Manoa crabman@pbrc.hawaii.edu http://www.pbrc.hawaii.edu/index.php/christie-ae Crustaceans have long played important roles in increasing our understanding of neuropeptidergic signaling. For example, the first invertebrate neuropeptide to be isolated and fully characterized was from a crustacean, and the […]
Alternative approaches to building transcriptomes can impact differential gene expression analyses in crustaceans exposed to high COsub2sub and low Osub2sub
Meeting Abstract S11-1 Thursday, Jan. 7 08:00 Alternative approaches to building transcriptomes can impact differential gene expression analyses in crustaceans exposed to high CO2 and low O2. JOHNSON, Jillian G.*; BURNETT, Louis E.; BURNETT, Karen G.; College of Charleston jill.johnson821@gmail.com Aquatic crustaceans can experience hypoxia (low O2) and hypercapnic hypoxia (high CO2/low O2) both in the natural […]
Pathways Underlying Colour and Polarisation Processing in Stomatopods
Meeting Abstract S11-8 Sunday, Jan. 8 13:30 – 14:00 Pathways Underlying Colour and Polarisation Processing in Stomatopods THOEN, Hanne H.*; STRAUSFELD, Nicholas; MARSHALL, Justin; University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; University of Arizona, Tucson, USA; University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia h.thoen@uq.edu.au Stomatopods have one of the most complex visual systems amongst all invertebrates. Specialised photoreceptors are arranged in […]
Hawkmoths sacrifice spatial resolution to increase sensitivity in dim light
Meeting Abstract S11-5 Sunday, Jan. 8 10:30 – 11:00 Hawkmoths sacrifice spatial resolution to increase sensitivity in dim light. STöCKL, Anna*; O’CARROLL, David; WARRANT, Eric; Lund University; Lund University; Lund University anna.stockl@biol.lu.se The visual systems of many animals, particularly those active during the day, are optimised for high spatial resolution. However, at night, when photons are sparse […]
Function and evolution of the dispersed visual systems of bivalves and chitons
Meeting Abstract S11-2 Sunday, Jan. 8 08:30 – 09:00 Function and evolution of the dispersed visual systems of bivalves and chitons SPEISER, D.I.; University of South Carolina speiser@mailbox.sc.edu http://speiserlab.com Compared to eyes that provide high spatial resolution (such as the paired cephalic eyes of many vertebrates, cephalopods, and arthropods), eyes that provide low spatial resolution have received […]
