A gradual release of metabolic suppression during diapause termination in a montane insect
Meeting Abstract 100-1 Monday, Jan. 6 13:30 – 13:45 A gradual release of metabolic suppression during diapause termination in a montane insect ROBERTS, KT*; WILLIAMS, CM; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of California, Berkeley kevrob@berkeley.edu To conserve energy during winter many insects enter diapause, a dormant state in which metabolic rate is suppressed. Metabolic suppression is gradually […]
Variability of prey processing in teleost fishes with a comparison to amniotes
Meeting Abstract 100.8 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Variability of prey processing in teleost fishes with a comparison to amniotes GINTOF, C.M.*; KONOW, N.Z.; ROSS, C.F.; SANFORD, C.P.; Hofstra University cginto1@gmail.com Sensorimotor control mechanisms governing prey-processing muscle activity in teleosts is understudied. Examining variability in underlying motor-patterns across a broad phylogenetic sample may improve our understanding of the evolution […]
To Regulate or Not to Regulate; Stomach Acid Production in Amphibians and Reptiles
Meeting Abstract 100.1 Wednesday, Jan. 7 To Regulate or Not to Regulate; Stomach Acid Production in Amphibians and Reptiles BESSLER, Scott M.*; SECOR, Stephen M.; University of Alabama; University of Alabama besslers@gmail.com For amphibians and reptiles there is an adaptive link between feeding habits and the capacity to regulate gastrointestinal performance. Frequently feeding species maintain stable intestinal […]
