Developmental and Evolutionary Origins of Amniote External Genitalia
Meeting Abstract S5-7 Tuesday, Jan. 5 11:30 Developmental and Evolutionary Origins of Amniote External Genitalia GREDLER, M.L.; Univ. of Florida, Gainesville mlgredler@ufl.edu Amniote external genitalia vary significantly in form. Most amniote species have a single phallus, although some have paired hemiphalluses and others lack a phallus altogether. Intromittent amniote phalluses have either an open urethral groove or […]
Development of external genitalia from evolutionary origins to congenital malformations
Meeting Abstract S5-5 Tuesday, Jan. 5 10:30 Development of external genitalia: from evolutionary origins to congenital malformations COHN, MJ; University of Florida mjcohn@ufl.edu http://www.evodevo.net The cellular and molecular genetic mechanisms of external genital development are beginning to be elucidated from studies of the mouse genital tubercle, an embryonic appendage adjacent to the cloaca that is the precursor […]

The Diversity and Function of Gut Bacteria in Herbivorous Ants
Meeting Abstract S5-1 Friday, Jan. 6 08:00 – 08:30 The Diversity and Function of Gut Bacteria in Herbivorous Ants MOREAU, Corrie S.; Field Museum of Natural History cmoreau@fieldmuseum.org http://www.moreaulab.org/ Although many insects engage in herbivory and likely rely on gut-associated bacteria to provision their diets, very few have been studied in detail. The ants provide an excellent […]
