Meeting Abstract 3.4 Friday, Jan. 4 Body dynamics of larval fish – implications for the mechanics of large-amplitude swimming VAN LEEUWEN, J L ; MULLER, U K*; Wageningen University; California State University Fresno umuller@csufresno.edu Body and center-of-mass dynamics are fundamental to the mechanics of locomotion. Experimental studies have shown that small swimmers and flyers are relatively strong, […]

Backwards swimming by bluegill sunfish requires multifin coordination
Meeting Abstract 3.1 Friday, Jan. 4 Backwards swimming by bluegill sunfish requires multifin coordination FLAMMANG, B.E.**; LAUDER, G.V.; Harvard University bflammang@post.harvard.edu Teleost fish, like the bluegill sunfish, have multiple flexible fins that are used as modifiable control surfaces. This helps to make fish highly maneuverable, permitting behaviors like reversing direction of motion and swimming backwards without having […]
Stress-response, experience, and neophobia in free-living Florida scrub-jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens)
Meeting Abstract 3.3 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:30 Stress-response, experience, and neophobia in free-living Florida scrub-jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens) BEBUS, SE*; JONES, BC; SCHOECH, SJ; Univ. of Memphis; Univ. of Memphis; Univ. of Memphis sebebus@memphis.edu Stress-responsiveness and degree of neophobia is related in Florida scrub-jays (FSJ: Aphelocoma coerulescens), in that stress-induced corticosterone (CORT) levels ‘predict’ approach behavior to a […]
Nestling begging rate predicts adult physiological stress response in Florida scrub-jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens)
Meeting Abstract 3.2 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:15 Nestling begging rate predicts adult physiological stress response in Florida scrub-jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens) ELDERBROCK, E.K.*; SMALL, T.W.; SCHOECH, S.J.; University of Memphis; University of Memphis; University of Memphis kldrbrck@memphis.edu The young of altricial bird species communicate nutritional need to adults by begging. Begging is hypothesized to be an honest signal […]
Influence of corticosterone on growth, home-cage activity, wheel running, and maximal oxygen consumption in replicate lines of house mice selectively bred for high voluntary wheel-running behavior
Meeting Abstract 3.5 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:00 Influence of corticosterone on growth, home-cage activity, wheel running, and maximal oxygen consumption in replicate lines of house mice selectively bred for high voluntary wheel-running behavior SINGLETON, J. M.*; GARLAND, T.; University of California, Riverside; University of California, Riverside jsing014@ucr.edu Corticosterone, chiefly referred to as a “stress hormone,” impacts a […]

Meeting Abstract 3.4 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:45 Continuous release melatonin implants delay daily activity onset and alter reproductive success in the great tit (Parus major) GREIVES, T*; KINGMA, S; KRANSTAUBER, B; HAU, M; North Dakota State University; University of Groningen; Max Planck Institute for Ornithology; Max Planck Institute for Ornithology timothy.greives@ndsu.edu Endogenous rhythms are thought to enhance […]
Arginine vasotocin and social behavior in Anolis carolinensis
Meeting Abstract 3.8 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:45 Arginine vasotocin and social behavior in Anolis carolinensis DUNHAM, LA*; WILCZYNSKI, W; Georgia State Univ, Atlanta ldunham2@student.gsu.edu Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is a potent regulator of social behavior in a variety of species but little is known about its role in reptilian behavior. Our goal was to examine the effect of […]
Aggressive responses to food insecurity the search for novel steroid-peptide interactions
Meeting Abstract 3.1 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:00 Aggressive responses to food insecurity: the search for novel steroid-peptide interactions FOKIDIS, HB*; PRIOR, NH; MA, CC; GRADANDOS-SAMAYOA, J; TAVES, MD; ADOMAT, HA; GUNS, ES; SALDANHA, CJ; SOMA , KK; Rollins College; Univ. of British Columbia; Univ. of British Columbia; Univ. of British Columbia; Univ. of British Columbia; Vancouver Prostate […]
