Exploring the role of insulin signaling in relative growth a case study on wing-body scaling in Lepidoptera
Meeting Abstract S11-7 Monday, Jan. 7 11:00 – 11:30 Exploring the role of insulin signaling in relative growth: a case study on wing-body scaling in Lepidoptera MCKENNA, KZ*; NIJHOUT, HF; Duke University; Duke University kzm@duke.edu Adult forms emerge from the relative growth of the body and its parts. Each appendage and organ have a unique pattern of […]
Excavating burden revealing the causes of stasis in allometry
Meeting Abstract S11-10 Monday, Jan. 7 14:30 – 15:00 Excavating burden: revealing the causes of stasis in allometry HOULE, D.*; FORTUNE, R.; JONES, LT; Florida State University; Florida State University; Florida State University dhoule@bio.fsu.edu Morphological allometry is a striking example of a certain sort of evolutionary stasis. Organisms that vary in size adopt shapes that are predictable […]

Canine Evolution in a Saber-toothed Cat (Smilodon fatalis) Static Scaling and Evidence of Natural Selection
Meeting Abstract S11-2 Monday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 09:00 Canine Evolution in a Saber-toothed Cat (Smilodon fatalis): Static Scaling and Evidence of Natural Selection O’BRIEN, Devin; Colby College dmobrien@colby.edu The canines of saber-toothed cats are a classic example of an extreme morphology, yet we know surprisingly little about how they evolved. Natural observation of these animals is […]
Biophysical Effects on the Scaling of Plant Ontogeny
Meeting Abstract S11-3 Monday, Jan. 7 09:00 – 09:30 Biophysical Effects on the Scaling of Plant Ontogeny NIKLAS, Karl J; Cornell University, Ithaca, NY kjn2@cornell.edu Physical laws influence the ability of organisms to exchange energy and mass with their external environments, which in the case of plants is influenced by the size and spatiotemporal display of surface […]
