Meeting Abstract 53.2 Thursday, Jan. 5 Female preferences are influenced by early experience and male vocal performance MOSELEY, D.L.; University of Massachusetts Amherst dmoseley@bio.umass.edu Female mating preferences are a crucial component of sexual selection, yet we have poor knowledge of how female preferences develop. Specifically the extent to which experience during development informs mate choice is largely […]

Female perception of male mate as a stressor may depend on sexual experience
Meeting Abstract 53.4 Thursday, Jan. 5 Female perception of male mate as a stressor may depend on sexual experience DICKENS, M. J.*; CORNIL, C.A.; BALTHAZART, J.; University of Liege; University of Liege; University of Liege molly.dickens@ulg.ac.be In Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), male copulatory behavior includes actions that are potentially injurious to the female. Females may thus perceive […]
Untangling the trees of obligate symbionts myzostomes and echinoderms
Meeting Abstract 53.3 Saturday, Jan. 5 Untangling the trees of obligate symbionts: myzostomes and echinoderms SUMMERS, M.M.*; ROUSE, G.W.; Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD; Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD msummers@ucsd.edu The obligate association of myzostome worms (Myzostomida) with echinoderms, in particular with crinoids, is an ideal system in which the evolution of symbiotic lifestyles and body plans […]
The costs of current reproduction are not traded against maternal survival or subsequent reproductive performance in the Columbian Ground Squirrel
Meeting Abstract 53.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 The costs of current reproduction are not traded against maternal survival or subsequent reproductive performance in the Columbian Ground Squirrel SKIBIEL, A.L.; SPEAKMAN, J.; HOOD, W.R.*; Harvard University; University of Aberdeen; Auburn University wrhood@auburn.edu Life history evolution is contingent upon proximate and ultimate costs of reproductive effort. Allocating a greater amount […]
Osteohistological differences between marsupials and placental mammals reflect both growth rates and life history strategies
Meeting Abstract 53.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Osteohistological differences between marsupials and placental mammals reflect both growth rates and life history strategies WERNING, S; Univ California, Berkeley swerning@berkeley.edu Bone microstructure is influenced by many factors, including body size, growth rate, and phylogeny. The literature acknowledges no great differences between marsupial and placental bone histology, leading some to infer […]

Developmental mode, poecilogony, and population structure of the pyramidellid snail Boonea impressa
Meeting Abstract 53.1 Saturday, Jan. 5 Developmental mode, poecilogony, and population structure of the pyramidellid snail Boonea impressa TEICHHOLTZ, P.J. ; University of Michigan pteich@umich.edu Poecilogony, the expression of more than one developmental mode in a single species, is usually not viewed as an evolutionarily stable strategy. Poecilogonous species are typically considered transitional states between discrete developmental […]
