Inferring arthropod phylogeny Fossils and their interaction with other data sources
Meeting Abstract S7-5 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:30 – 11:00 Inferring arthropod phylogeny: Fossils and their interaction with other data sources EDGECOMBE, Gregory D.; The Natural History Museum g.edgecombe@nhm.ac.uk The past five years have witnessed a renewed interest in discrete morphological characters as a source of phylogenetic data, after a decade or more of their dismissal in favour […]
Developmental and Evolutionary Perspectives on the Origin and Diversification of Arthropod Appendages
Meeting Abstract S7-9 Saturday, Jan. 7 14:00 – 14:30 Developmental and Evolutionary Perspectives on the Origin and Diversification of Arthropod Appendages JOCKUSCH, E.L.; University of Connecticut elizabeth.jockusch@uconn.edu http://jockusch.eeb.uconn.edu Jointed appendages are the hallmark of arthropods, and diversification of these segmentally repeated structures has helped generate the diversity of arthropod body plans. The resolved phylogenetic context for arthropods, […]
Development and a model for morphology Phylogenetic applications and the early arthropod fossil record
Meeting Abstract S7-2 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 09:00 Development and a model for morphology: Phylogenetic applications and the early arthropod fossil record TWEEDT, S.M.; Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, University of Maryland, College Park tweedts@si.edu Developmental regulatory networks govern the construction of morphology and structure how morphological features change through time. Highly conserved networks are […]
Development and Evolution of the Tardigrade Body Plan
Meeting Abstract S7-10 Saturday, Jan. 7 14:30 – 15:00 Development and Evolution of the Tardigrade Body Plan SMITH, FW*; GOLDSTEIN, B; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill frank.w.smithiii@gmail.com We aim to elucidate the developmental principles that govern the evolution of animal body plans. The phylum Tardigrada is part of […]
Development and Evolution of Arthropod Reproductive Systems
Meeting Abstract S7-11 Saturday, Jan. 7 15:00 – 15:30 Development and Evolution of Arthropod Reproductive Systems EXTAVOUR, Cassandra/G; Harvard University extavour@oeb.harvard.edu http://www.extavourlab.com Reproduction is an essential element of the evolutionary process: it underlies the inheritance of traits, and trait variation determines the outcome of both adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary change. The capacity of the reproductive system to […]
Chelicerate genomes, chelate appendages, and conquering land a view of arachnid origins through an evo-devo spyglass
Meeting Abstract S7-4 Saturday, Jan. 7 09:30 – 10:00 Chelicerate genomes, chelate appendages, and conquering land: a view of arachnid origins through an evo-devo spyglass SHARMA, PP; University of Wisconsin-Madison prashant.sharma@wisc.edu http://www.sharmalabuw.org The internal phylogeny of Chelicerata and the attendant evolutionary scenario of arachnid terrestrialization have a long and contentious history. Datasets of morphologists and paleontologists typically […]
Arthropod ontogeny and phylogeny Perspectives from fossils and phylogenomics
Meeting Abstract S7-3 Saturday, Jan. 7 09:00 – 09:30 Arthropod ontogeny and phylogeny: Perspectives from fossils and phylogenomics WOLFE, JM; Massachusetts Institute of Technology jowolfe@mit.edu The exceptional preservation of fossils attributable to larval stages opens a window for studies of arthropod developmental biology in the ancient oceans. The phylogenetic placement of larval fossils provides unique but essential […]
Seeking symbiosis Linking art and science through symbiotic interactions
Meeting Abstract S7-7 Saturday, Jan. 6 11:00 – 11:30 Seeking symbiosis: Linking art and science through symbiotic interactions HARROWER, JT; Univ. of California, Santa Cruz jharrower@ucsc.edu Human induced global change has triggered the sixth major extinction event on earth with profound consequences for humans and other species. To make progress towards protecting and effectively managing species and […]
Science Outreach and Engagement in National Parks
Meeting Abstract S7-2 Saturday, Jan. 6 08:00 – 08:30 Science Outreach and Engagement in National Parks WATKINS, TB; National Park Service tim_watkins@nps.gov The United States and its territories contain over 400 national parks and other protected areas managed by the National Park Service (NPS). Collectively, these sites attract over 300 million visits per year which makes the […]
