The adaptive potential of phylogenetically conserved larval development in marine invertebrates
Meeting Abstract 142-6 Sunday, Jan. 7 14:45 – 15:00 The adaptive potential of phylogenetically conserved larval development in marine invertebrates EWERS-SAUCEDO, C*; PAPPALARDO, P; Zoological Museum of the Christian-Albrechts University, Kiel, Germany; Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, USA ewers-saucedo@zoolmuseum.uni-kiel.de Many marine organisms have an biphasic life cycle. The early phase is the predominant dispersal […]
Maternal stress in eastern fence lizards does not adaptively program offspring to a stressful environment
Meeting Abstract 142-3 Sunday, Jan. 7 14:00 – 14:15 Maternal stress in eastern fence lizards does not adaptively program offspring to a stressful environment MACLEOD, KJ*; LANGKILDE, TL; SHERIFF, MJ; Pennsylvania State University kirstyjmacleod@gmail.com http://kjmacleod.wordpress.com The maternal environment during gestation can have profound impacts on the phenotype of offspring via transgenerational maternal effects. Transgenerational effects of maternal […]
Hidden Asymmetry in Shape of Biological Patterns
Meeting Abstract 142-7 Sunday, Jan. 7 15:00 – 15:15 Hidden Asymmetry in Shape of Biological Patterns SERGEY, baranov; University od Vladimir bar.serg58@gmail.com he asymmetry is studied on different biosystemic levels. The deviation from perfect bilateral symmetry is a phenomen, which mean the turns in metabolic paths responsible for developmental homeostasis. There is an importance of unbiased estimates […]
Fitness consequences of heterozygosity in a self-fertilizing fish
Meeting Abstract 142-5 Sunday, Jan. 7 14:30 – 14:45 Fitness consequences of heterozygosity in a self-fertilizing fish GRESHAM, JG*; EARLEY, RL; University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa jdgresham1@crimson.ua.edu Mangrove rivulus fish exist predominantly as self-fertilizing hermaphrodites but males, which result from hermaphrodite sex change, occur in varying abundances across their geographical range. Levels of heterozygosity […]
