T3 as a source of hormonally-mediated maternal effects in a lizard
Meeting Abstract 116-3 Tuesday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 08:45 T3 as a source of hormonally-mediated maternal effects in a lizard GIFFORD, ME*; ROBINSON, CD; University of Central Arkansas; University of Virginia megifford@uca.edu http://giffordlab@weebly.com Maternal effects are important mechanisms generating phenotypic variation in offspring with potentially adaptive consequences. Prenatal maternal effects often are mediated through maternal transmission of […]

The evolution of thermal physiology in the lizard genus Anolis
Meeting Abstract 116.4 Saturday, Jan. 7 The evolution of thermal physiology in the lizard genus Anolis. GUNDERSON, A.R.; Duke University arg12@duke.edu Greater Antillean Anolis lizards are a classic example of an adaptive radiation, in which rapid speciation was accompanied by adaptive phenotypic divergence. Forty years ago, Ernest Williams hypothesized that the Anolis radiation occurred along two primary […]
Temperature-Dependent Sprint Performance of Nocturnal and Diurnal Geckos Does Dollo’s Law Apply to Physiological Traits
Meeting Abstract 116.3 Saturday, Jan. 7 Temperature-Dependent Sprint Performance of Nocturnal and Diurnal Geckos: Does Dollo’s Law Apply to Physiological Traits? LUKEN, Alissa N.*; ESPINOZA, Robert E.; California State University, Northridge alissa.luken.842@my.csun.edu One of the most intriguing and rare phenomena in evolutionary biology is the occurrence of evolutionary reversals because of the presumed difficulty of re-evolving “lost” […]
