Meeting Abstract 50-6 Tuesday, Jan. 5 11:30 Do nuchal organs aid navigation? Assessing polychaete responses to subsurface chemical cues HUNT, K.S.; LINDSAY, S.M.*; University of Maine, Orono; University of Maine, Orono slindsay@maine.edu http://umaine.edu/lindsaylab/ In marine sediments, burrowing and feeding by infauna (e.g. polychaetes, burrowing shrimp) result in sediment mixing and benthic-pelagic exchange of solutes, and such bioturbation […]

Monoamine reuptake inhibitors alter exercise performance in bank voles selected for high swimming-induced aerobic metabolism
Meeting Abstract 50-1 Friday, Jan. 6 10:00 – 10:15 Monoamine reuptake inhibitors alter exercise performance in bank voles selected for high swimming-induced aerobic metabolism JAROMIN, E*; SADOWSKA, ET; KOTEJA, P; Jagiellonian University, Institute of Environmental Sciences, Poland ewa.jaromin@doctoral.uj.edu.pl Exercise performance depends on both physiological abilities (e.g. muscle strength) and behavioral characteristics (e.g. motivation). We tested the hypothesis […]
Long legs, big heads Sex-specific multivariate morphology-> performance relationships in Anolis carolinensis
Meeting Abstract 50-8 Friday, Jan. 6 11:45 – 12:00 Long legs, big heads: Sex-specific multivariate morphology-> performance relationships in Anolis carolinensis CESPEDES, AM*; LAILVAUX, SP ; Univ. of New Orleans; Univ. of New Orleans anniecespedes@gmail.com Animals are required to execute various ecological tasks during their lifetimes. These tasks often require different whole-organism performance abilities, and thus morphology […]
Locomotion on Wet Granular Media
Meeting Abstract 50-5 Friday, Jan. 6 11:00 – 11:15 Locomotion on Wet Granular Media BAGHERI, H*; VAJRALA, S; TADURU, V; WHITE, SX; LEE, D; PAZOUKI, A; EMADY, HN; MARVI, H; Arizona State University; California State University hbagheri@asu.edu Granular media interaction poses a highly nonlinear behavior, creating difficulties when formulating analytical models for locomotion studies. This inadequate understanding […]
