Transcriptomic responses to warming across the pancrustacea
Meeting Abstract S11.6 Wednesday, Jan. 7 11:00 Transcriptomic responses to warming across the pancrustacea STILLMAN, Jonathon H; SF State Univ. and Univ. California, Berkeley stillmaj@sfsu.edu http://online.sfsu.edu/stillmaj/ Mechanisms of the cellular stress response (CSR) are generally conserved, and thus thermal stress typically induces similar suites of genes (e.g., hsps) across a wide range of organisms. However, physiological changes […]
The evolutionary history of pancrustacean eyes
Meeting Abstract S11.7 Wednesday, Jan. 7 11:30 The evolutionary history of pancrustacean eyes HENZE, M.J.; Lund University, Sweden miriam.henze@biol.lu.se http://www.biology.lu.se/miriam-henze Pancrustacea offer great opportunities to investigate the evolutionary history of vision because of a diversity of eye designs and life styles. Their most prominent photosensitive organs, two compound eyes, consist of individual photoreception units called ommatidia. Compound […]
Respiratory consequences of mounting an immune response in crustaceans
Meeting Abstract S11.9 Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:00 Respiratory consequences of mounting an immune response in crustaceans BURNETT, K.G.*; BURNETT, L.E.; College of Charleston; College of Charleston burnettk@cofc.edu http://burnettk.people.cofc.edu Crustaceans rely on a wide spectrum of innate immune mechanisms to maintain their physiological integrity in aquatic environments that teem with high densities of microorganisms (> 106 culturable bacteria […]
Oxygen Sensing and Handling Across the Pancrustacea
Meeting Abstract S11.4 Wednesday, Jan. 7 09:30 Oxygen Sensing and Handling Across the Pancrustacea HARRISON, J.F.; Arizona State University j.harrison@asu.edu http://jharrison.faculty.asu.edu/ Most aspects of oxygen sensing including hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), AMPK, and nitric oxide signaling are ancient pathways that occur throughout the Pancrustacea. Tracheal respiratory systems have evolved independently several times in terrestrial Arthropoda, including in the […]
MicroRNAs and comparative genomics in arthropod endocrinology and reproduction
Meeting Abstract S11.11 Wednesday, Jan. 7 15:00 MicroRNAs and comparative genomics in arthropod endocrinology and reproduction HUI, JHL; The Chinese University of Hong Kong jeromehui@cuhk.edu.hk http://https://sites.google.com/site/huijerome/ The Arthropoda is the phylum containing the largest number of described living species, and precise regulations of arthropods hormones are crucial to their success in evolution. To date, most of our […]
Links between detoxification, excretion and osmoregulation in insects and crustaceans
Meeting Abstract S11.5 Wednesday, Jan. 7 10:30 Links between detoxification, excretion and osmoregulation in insects and crustaceans. O’DONNELL, Michael J*; WEIHRAUCH, Dirk; McMaster University, Hamilton; University of Manitoba, Winnipeg odonnell@mcmaster.ca http://www.biology.mcmaster.ca/odonnell/faculty/odonnell The functional kidney in insects is comprised of the Malpighian tubules and hindgut. Together, these tissues play preeminent roles in osmoregulation and excretion. In crustaceans, the […]

Integrated immune and cardiovascular function in insects
Meeting Abstract S11.8 Wednesday, Jan. 7 13:30 Integrated immune and cardiovascular function in insects HILLYER, J.F.; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN julian.hillyer@vanderbilt.edu http://www.vanderbilt.edu/hillyerlab/ Insects acquire pathogens via ingestion and through breaches in the cuticle. Upon entry into the hemocoel, pathogens are circulated throughout the body by the insect open circulatory system. Anatomically, this circulatory system consists of a […]
