Digestive specialization in prickleback fishes (Family Stichaeidae) Liver Transcriptome and Metabolic Rate
Meeting Abstract 131-6 Sunday, Jan. 7 11:30 – 11:45 Digestive specialization in prickleback fishes (Family Stichaeidae): Liver Transcriptome and Metabolic Rate HERRERA, MJ*; HERAS, J; GERMAN, DP; University of California, Irvine mjherre1@uci.edu Prickleback fishes (Family Stichaeidae) are a unique study system in which to investigate dietary specialization because they consist of closely related species that coexist in […]
Biochemical Mechanisms Influencing Countergradient Variation in Lizard Development
Meeting Abstract 131-3 Sunday, Jan. 7 10:45 – 11:00 Biochemical Mechanisms Influencing Countergradient Variation in Lizard Development LENARD, A.N.*; GIFFORD, M.E.; University of Central Arkansas; University of Central Arkansas angie.lenard17@gmail.com Countergradient variation occurs across environmental gradients when environmental and genetic influences on a phenotype oppose each other. An example of this phenomenon is the inherently faster growth […]
