Meeting Abstract 62.4  Jan. 7  Variation in gene expression among the brains of behaviorally distinct zebrafish strains: no evidence for parallel transcriptome evolution during domestication. ROBISON, B.D.*; DREW, R.E.; SETTLES, M.; CHURCHILL, E.; MORETZ, J.; MARTINS, E.P.; University of Idaho; University of Idaho; University of Idaho; University of Idaho; Indiana University; Indiana University brobison@uidaho.edu Fearfulness and anxiety […]

Meeting Abstract 62.1  Jan. 7  Evolution of avian personalities: adaptive variation or hormonal constraint? DUCKWORTH, R.A.*; SOCKMAN, K.W.; University of Edinburgh; University of North Carolina rad3@duke.edu The correlated expression of behavior across different contexts can reflect constraints to the independent evolution of behavior or a suite of behaviors favored by selection. Behavioral constraints are thought to result […]

Meeting Abstract 62.3  Jan. 7  Error in Non-Human Animals: the Effects of Motivation and Distraction on Animal Performance HOFFMAN, AM*; TUTTLE, EM; Indiana State University; Indiana State University hoffman@mama.indstate.edu In the everyday life of a human, mistakes are so common that they are reflected in numerous clich�s and proverbs, and a large body of research exists on […]

Meeting Abstract 62.2  Jan. 7  Behavioral syndromes and adaptation to captivity in the zebrafish, Danio rerio OSWALD, M.E.*; ROBISON, B.D.; University of Idaho; University of Idaho oswa2750@uidaho.edu Behavioral syndromes are defined as individual consistency in a suite of behaviors across multiple situations (e.g. being very bold regardless of whether predators are present or absent). The concept of […]

Meeting Abstract 62.5  Jan. 7  Acoustically-evoked immediate-early gene expression in the pallium of the t�ngara frog MANGIAMELE, L.A.*; BURMEISTER, S.S.; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill lisaman@email.unc.edu The anuran auditory system is a good model for studying the neural mechanisms of sexual communication. Previous studies have focused on the role of the auditory midbrain and thalamus in […]

Meeting Abstract 62.5  Saturday, Jan. 5  Vicariance or pseudocongruence? Multispecies phylogeography in the northeastern Pacific MCGOVERN, TM*; HART, MW; SASKI, C; MARKO, PB; Clemson Univ.; Simon Fraser Univ.; Clemson Univ.; Clemson Univ. tmcgove@clemson.edu Comparative phylogeography often reveals the existence of shared phylogeographic breaks across co-distributed species, consistent with a hypothesis of vicariance, in which a single event […]

Meeting Abstract 62.2  Saturday, Jan. 5  To brood or not to brood: the role of reproductive mode in the dispersal of Antarctic benthic invertebrates MAHON, A.R.*; HALANYCH, K.M.; Auburn University; Auburn University armahon@gmail.com Antarctica is a region of extreme isolation and its fauna include a high number of endemic organisms, many of which are described as circumpolar. […]

Meeting Abstract 62.4  Saturday, Jan. 5  Speciation patterns in Patagonia: insights from Aegla freshwater crabs PEREZ-LOSADA, Marcos*; XU, Jiawu; JARA, Carlos; CRANDALL, Keith A; Brigham Young University; Brigham Young University; Universidad Austral de Chile; Brigham Young University mp323@byu.edu The role of historical events such as glacial cycles, mountain building, and river captures on the speciation and demographic […]

Meeting Abstract 62.6  Saturday, Jan. 5  Phylogeography of Moray Eels in the Indo-Pacific REECE, Joshua S; Washington University in Saint Louis jsreece@wustl.edu Coral reef fish migration during the pelagic larval period has been shown to play a major role in determining regional population genetic structure. Moray eels (Muraenidae) have some of the longest larval durations among coral […]
