Regionalized contributions of the epaxial musculature to swimming and suction feeding in bluegill sunfish
Meeting Abstract 38-2 Sunday, Jan. 5 08:15 – 08:30 Regionalized contributions of the epaxial musculature to swimming and suction feeding in bluegill sunfish JIMENEZ, YE*; BRAINERD, EL; Brown University; Brown University yordano_jimenez@brown.edu Many fishes can recruit the axial musculature for both swimming and suction feeding, yet little is known about how this dual-function muscle operates under the […]
How do Muscle Length and Activation Interact to Determine Muscle Force Production
Meeting Abstract 38-1 Sunday, Jan. 5 08:00 – 08:15 How do Muscle Length and Activation Interact to Determine Muscle Force Production? RICE, N*; JEONG, S; NISHIKAWA, K; Northern Arizona University; Northern Arizona University; Northern Arizona University kiisa.nishikawa@nau.edu https://in.nau.edu/nishikawa-lab/ Previous studies demonstrated dissociation of muscle activation and force during in vivo treadmill running over obstacles in the lateral […]
Function of cervical muscles during human running
Meeting Abstract 38-5 Sunday, Jan. 5 09:00 – 09:15 Function of cervical muscles during human running BOYNTON, AM*; CARRIER, DR; University of Utah; University of Utah alicia.boynton@utah.edu Core musculature functions to stabilize the pelvis and trunk against moments imposed by activity of extrinsic limb muscles. Conventionally, the human core is thought to include the axial muscles located […]
A Specialized Muscular System Enables Highly Dynamic Wing Motions in Passerine Birds
Meeting Abstract 38-3 Sunday, Jan. 5 08:30 – 08:45 A Specialized Muscular System Enables Highly Dynamic Wing Motions in Passerine Birds WOOD, LJ*; TOBALSKE, BW; ALTSHULER, DL; University of British Columbia, Vancouver; University of Montana, Missoula; University of British Columbia, Vancouver leo.w@zoology.ubc.ca Previous work indicates that strong coupling of elbow and wrist motion in birds results in […]
The nutritional ecology of food hoarding by red squirrels
FRANK, C.L.: The nutritional ecology of food hoarding by red squirrels It has proposed that granivory and food hoarding coevolved repeatedly in mammals because seeds tend to retain their nutritional quality during storage, although this hypothesis has not been tested. The effects of prolonged storage on the nutritional composition of five conifer seed species hoarded […]
The effects of prey type on the feeding biomechanics of Archosargus probatocephalus
FOUGEROLLE, M.F.*; TURINGAN, R.G: The effects of prey type on the feeding biomechanics of Archosargus probatocephalus. Ubiquitous species in heterogeneous, coastal habitats typically encounter variable prey-resources. The biomechanical basis for the ability of A. probatocephalus to consume both soft and hard prey organisms within its environment was examined in an attempt to understand the mechanisms […]
Incubation in Masked Boobies
MORGAN, S.M.*; ASHLEY-ROSS, M.A.; ANDERSON, D.J.: Incubation in Masked Boobies Lacking brood patches, masked boobies (Sula dactylatra) incubate eggs with their webbed feet. No studies to date have examined incubation temperature in masked boobies. Incubation temperatures were tracked for individual masked boobies nesting in a colony on the island of Espanola, Galapagos, Ecuador. Plastic Easter […]
