Meeting Abstract 101.2 Wednesday, Jan. 7 08:15 Time-Resolved Volumetric Force Analysis of Unsteady Fish Propulsion MENDELSON, L.R.*; TECHET, A.H.; MIT; MIT leahm@mit.edu Unsteady aquatic maneuvers, including the rapid starts and jumps performed by fish, are highly three-dimensional events. The interactions between multiple fins and the body generate complex flow structures that need to be resolved simultaneously across […]

Regulation of Trade-Off Behaviors in a Mouthbrooding Cichlid Fish
Meeting Abstract 101-2 Wednesday, Jan. 6 13:45 Regulation of Trade-Off Behaviors in a Mouthbrooding Cichlid Fish O’ROURKE, C.*; RENN, S.C.P.; O’ROURKE, Cynthi; Reed College; Reed College kickseine@gmail.com http://academic.reed.edu/biology/professors/srenn/ Trade-offs between fundamental life history traits strongly influence fitness, and yet the molecular mechanisms underlying trade-off behaviors – for example decreases in somatic maintenance that allow for increases in […]
Integrating proximate and ultimate costs of reproduction in cooperatively breeding superb starlings
Meeting Abstract 101-3 Wednesday, Jan. 6 14:00 Integrating proximate and ultimate costs of reproduction in cooperatively breeding superb starlings GUINDRE-PARKER, S.*; RUBENSTEIN, D.R.; Columbia University; Columbia University slg2154@columbia.edu All sexually reproducing organisms are faced with a fundamental decision: to invest valuable resources and energy in reproduction or in their own survival. This trade-off between reproduction and survival […]

Comparative transcriptomics of the monogamous conserved themes despite independent behavioral evolution
Meeting Abstract 101-1 Wednesday, Jan. 6 13:30 Comparative transcriptomics of the monogamous: conserved themes despite independent behavioral evolution YOUNG, R.L.*; O’CONNELL, L.A.; HOFMANN, H.A.; Universtiy of Texas, Austin; Harvard University; University of Texas, Austin rebecca.youngbrim@gmail.com http://devoevo.ccbb.utexas.edu/ Complex social behavior evolved independently many times, with monogamy as a prominent example. Certain neurochemical and neuroendocrine pathways have ancient origins […]
Characterizing the genetic basis of behavioral immunity in fruit flies
Meeting Abstract 101-6 Wednesday, Jan. 6 14:45 Characterizing the genetic basis of behavioral immunity in fruit flies MARTIN, M.D.*; SCHLENKE, T.A.; Reed College; Reed College mdmartin7@gmail.com https://michaelmartinevobio.wordpress.com/ The genetic basis of cellular immunity has long been a focus of immunological research. While mounting a successful cellular immune response has obvious fitness benefits, cellular immunity can be energetically […]
