Meeting Abstract 29.4 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Role for a DM domain gene in male-specific reproductive development in the simultaneous hermaphrodite Schmidtea mediterranea. CHONG, T.*; NEWMARK, P.A.; Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign chong@illinois.edu In simultaneous hermaphrodites, little is known about how sex-specific reproductive organs develop and whether male and female reproductive structures are co-dependent. The sexual strain of the […]

Persistence of embryonic axial patterning markers in adult Eurycea cirrigera tails
Meeting Abstract 29.6 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Persistence of embryonic axial patterning markers in adult Eurycea cirrigera tails SWEARINGEN, R.L.*; VAGLIA, J.L.; DePauw University, Greencastle, IN; DePauw University, Greencastle, IN jvaglia@depauw.edu Post-embryonic addition of segments in salamanders (Amphibia:Urodela) suggests that the tail tip retains aspects of embryonic cell organization and gene expression throughout life. Knowledge of how spinal […]

Symbiont transmission and maintenance of interspecific disequilibrium in structured populations
Meeting Abstract 29.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Symbiont transmission and maintenance of interspecific disequilibrium in structured populations FITZPATRICK, B. M.; Univ. of Tennessee benfitz@utk.edu Microbial symbioses might be as ubiquitous and influential as genes in the evolution and development of some plant and animal phenotypes, and in some cases (e.g., mitochondria) the line is blurred between symbiont and […]
