Meeting Abstract 45-7  Sunday, Jan. 5 09:30 – 09:45  Behavioral Timing: The Essential Role of Neurohormonal Mechanisms BASS, AH; BASS, And; Cornell University, UC Bodega Marine Laboratory ahb3@cornell.edu Field studies of animals behaving in their natural habitat provide an essential context for framing questions related to the evolution of daily and seasonal changes in social behavior. How […]

NGUYEN, L*; LECLAIR, E.E.: Ontogenetic expression of plunc, a mouse marker for selected derivatives of the pharyngeal epithelium. In mammalian development the lung and thymus both form from local expansions of the embryonic gut tube. The thymus arises from ventral elongations of the third pharyngeal pouch, while the lung tree starts as a ventral outpouching […]

CARL, T.F.*; KLYMKOWSKY, M.W.; HANKEN, J.: Multiple functions for the gene Slug in Xenopus laevis The neural crest is a distinct population of embryonic cells found only in craniates. Several genes, including BMP-4and the zinc-finger transcription factor Slug, have been shown to mediate neural crest development in both chickens and mice. We examined the function […]
