Meeting Abstract 37-4 Friday, Jan. 5 08:45 – 09:00 Ventilation Cessation Behavior of the Mozambique tilapia: A strategy for multi-stressor tolerance? SARDELLA, B*; KING, M; California State University, Stanislaus bsardella@csustan.edu Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) are incredibly stress tolerant with respect to environmental salinity, hypoxia, and ammonia concentrations. However, previous work has shown that they have difficulty with […]

Squids Do Not Breathe Through Their Skin
Meeting Abstract 37-2 Friday, Jan. 5 08:15 – 08:30 Squids Do Not Breathe Through Their Skin BIRK, MA*; SEIBEL, BA; University of South Florida; University of South Florida matthewabirk@gmail.com http://matthewabirk.weebly.com In 1990, a hypothesis was put forth that squids obtain a fairly large portion (as much as 50+%) of their oxygen via simple diffusion across the skin […]
Respiration is a one-way street abdominal pumping induces unidirectional flow in beetles
Meeting Abstract 37-5 Friday, Jan. 5 09:00 – 09:15 Respiration is a one-way street: abdominal pumping induces unidirectional flow in beetles FOX, T P*; HARRISON , J F; Arizona State University; Arizona State University tpfox1@asu.edu While traditionally insect gas exchange is thought of as primarily diffusive, it has become increasingly clear that advective flow, sometimes uni-directional as […]
