Meeting Abstract S8-1.3 Saturday, Jan. 5 Recent Mitochondrial Approaches to Decapod Phylogeny SCHUBART, Christoph D.; Universit�t Regensburg, Germany christoph.schubart@biologie.uni-regensburg.de During the past 15 years, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has become the most widely used molecular marker for phylogenetic reconstructions of decapod Crustacea, with the large ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO1) as the most […]

Evolution and Radiation of Shrimp-like Decapods an Overview
Meeting Abstract S8-1.6 Saturday, Jan. 5 Evolution and Radiation of Shrimp-like Decapods: an Overview FRANSEN, C.H.J.M.*; DE GRAVE, S.; Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum – Natularis, Leiden, The Netherlands; Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford, United Kingdom fransen@naturalis.nnm.nl Shrimp-like decapods (Dendrobranchiata, Stenopodidea and Caridea) are the basal lineages within decapod phylogeny. Recent morphological and molecular studies support the […]
Development, Genes and Decapod Evolution
Meeting Abstract S8-1.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Development, Genes and Decapod Evolution SCHOLTZ, Gerhard; Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin gerhard.scholtz@rz.hu-berlin.de The analysis of complex spatiotemporal developmental patterns delivers a number of characters that can be useful for inferences on phylogeny and evolution. In addition the morphological nature of adult structures can be revealed based on ontogenetic studies. This is also […]
Callianassidae and related families steps towards a practical classification
Meeting Abstract S8-1.7 Saturday, Jan. 5 Callianassidae and related families: steps towards a practical classification POORE, Gary C. B.; Museum Victoria gpoore@museum.vic.gov.au The Callianassidae sensu lato comprise 15 family or subfamily available names, 42 genus-level names and 256 described species, most erected in the last decade. The numbers of names used has gone up and down over […]
An Overview of Decapod Molecular Phylogeny

Relaxed selection on rates of molecular evolution consequence or cause of phenotypic plasticity
Meeting Abstract S8-1.2 Friday, Jan. 6 Relaxed selection on rates of molecular evolution: consequence or cause of phenotypic plasticity? LEICHTY, A. R.; PFENNIG, D. W.*; JONES, C. R.; PFENNIG, K. S.; University of Pennsylvania; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill dpfennig@unc.edu Phenotypic plasticity––the capacity of […]
Plasticity and the integrated phenotype examination of integration through development and across environments through classic and genomic approaches
Meeting Abstract S8-1.6 Friday, Jan. 6 Plasticity and the integrated phenotype: examination of integration through development and across environments through classic and genomic approaches MURREN, Courtney J.*; MESSERVY, Jason; STRAND, Allan E.; RUTTER, Matt T.; College of Charleston murrenc@cofc.edu Suites of complex characters that work together can be defined as functional modules. Organisms having strong relationships among […]
Phenotypic plasticity’s role in the origins of novel feeding strategies
Meeting Abstract S8-1.5 Friday, Jan. 6 Phenotypic plasticity’s role in the origins of novel feeding strategies LEDON-RETTIG, C.C.*; PFENNIG, D.W.; CRESPI, E.J.; University of South Florida, Tampa; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Washington State University cledonrettig@mail.usf.edu Although environmentally dependent genetic variation could play a critical role in promoting rapid environmental transitions, few empirical studies have evaluated […]
Phenotypic Plasticity and Allometry New Models and Evolutionary Implications
Meeting Abstract S8-1.4 Friday, Jan. 6 Phenotypic Plasticity and Allometry: New Models and Evolutionary Implications NIJHOUT, H. F.; Duke University hfn@duke.edu The sizes of body parts of many animals often appear to be related to each other by a power law called the allometric equation. Orderly scaling relationships among body parts depend on their patterns of relative […]
Introduction to the Symposium Assessing the Role of Developmental Plasticity in Evolutionary Innovation and Diversification
Meeting Abstract S8-1.1 Friday, Jan. 6 Introduction to the Symposium: Assessing the Role of Developmental Plasticity in Evolutionary Innovation and Diversification WUND, Matthew/A; The College of New Jersey wundm@tcnj.edu Conventional thinking proposes that the environment has a single function in adaptive evolution: to supply the selective pressures that shape phenotypic and genetic variation across generations. In addition […]
