Meeting Abstract 39.3 Wednesday, Jan. 5 LIMITS ON BONE MOBILIZATION DURING REPRODUCTION HOOD, Wendy R; Auburn University wrhood@auburn.edu In iteroparous species, future reproductive capacity is dependent on an individual’s ability to retain sufficient body condition during prior bouts of reproduction to support survival and capacity to reproduce again. Mammalian mothers mobilize mineral from their own bone to […]

Impacts of Non-Insecticidal Agricultural Chemicals on Olfactory Behaviors in Bumblebees
Meeting Abstract 39.6 Thursday, Jan. 5 Impacts of Non-Insecticidal Agricultural Chemicals on Olfactory Behaviors in Bumblebees SPRAYBERRY, Jordanna/ D. H.*; RIFFELL, Jeff/ A.; Muhlenberg College; Univ. Washington jsprayberry@muhlenberg.edu Our research focuses on potential indirect effects of non-insecticidal agricultural chemicals. Agricultural chemical treatments such as fertilizers or fungicides could add to the mélange of incoming sensory information that […]
Hunger-mediated phototaxis in adult brine shrimp
Meeting Abstract 39.4 Thursday, Jan. 5 Hunger-mediated phototaxis in adult brine shrimp HARVEY, A.*; WHITFORD, G.; DELORENZO, S.; Georgia Southern Univ., Statesboro; GSU, Statesboro; GSU, Statesboro aharvey@georgiasouthern.edu Nauplii of brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are known to be strongly attracted to light, but information about the photoresponse of adults is strikingly inconsistent. For example, Aiken and Hailman (1978) […]
