Control of left-right steering in Manduca sexta
SPRAYBERRY, J. D. H.*; DANIEL, T.; Univ. Washington, Seattle; Univ. Washington, Seattle: Control of left-right steering in Manduca sexta Motor behaviors are influenced by the properties and constraints of the mechanical systems in which they operate. Hawkmoths feeding from moving flowers exhibit a visually guided tracking behavior. Given the visual stimulus of a flower oscillating […]
UV reflectance in female sulphur butterflies DIversity and Mechanisms
Meeting Abstract 12.3 Jan. 4 UV reflectance in female sulphur butterflies: DIversity and Mechanisms RUTOWSKI, R. L.*; MACEDONIA, J. ; KEMP, D. ; TAYLOR-TAFT, L.; Arizona State University r.rutowski@asu.edu In some species of sulphur butterflies (Pieridae: Coliadinae) females as well as males display bright structural reflectance on their dorsal wing surfaces, although comparatively little attention has been […]
The role of temporal properties of the advertisement calls in the phonotactic response of territorial Allobates femoralis (Anura Dendrobatidae) males
Meeting Abstract 12.2 Jan. 4 The role of temporal properties of the advertisement calls in the phonotactic response of territorial Allobates femoralis (Anura: Dendrobatidae) males VELEZ, A*; AMEZQUITA, A; University of Minnesota; Universidad de Los Andes velez011@umn.edu Among anuran amphibians advertisement calls are used to attract females and repel other males. Territorial species most commonly defend their […]

Female response behavior to complex, intermittent luminescent male displays in a Caribbean ostracod
Meeting Abstract 12.6 Jan. 4 Female response behavior to complex, intermittent luminescent male displays in a Caribbean ostracod. RIVERS, TJ*; MORIN, JG; Cornell University; Cornell University tjr28@cornell.edu Although bioluminescence is much more prevalent in marine environments than terrestrial ones, describing female response behavior in mating systems where males utilize distinct, species-specific luminescent courtship displays to attract females […]
