Meeting Abstract 70.6 Thursday, Jan. 6 Can Pectoral Fin Locomotion Mediate Trophic Divergence in a Sister Species Pair of Malawi Cichlids? HULSEY, CD*; RUPP, MF; HOLLINGSWORTH JR, PR; Univ. of Tennessee chulsey@utk.edu The unparalleled feeding diversity of Lake Malawi cichlids has long been recognized. However, the locomotory diversity associated with this feeding diversity is only now being […]

Aerodynamic effects of splayed primary feathers
Meeting Abstract 70.1 Thursday, Jan. 6 Aerodynamic effects of splayed primary feathers KLAASSEN VAN OORSCHOT, B*; TOBALSKE, B.W.; Univ. of Montana; Univ. of Montana brett.kvo@umontana.edu Many birds that soar over land have emarginated primary feathers that may act like the winglets found on many modern planes. During flight, when producing lift, these feathers flex upwards and separate […]
The role of sensor regulator loci that mediate anaerobic respiration in host symbiotic competence of the Euprymna-Vibrio mutualism
Meeting Abstract 70.3 Friday, Jan. 6 The role of sensor regulator loci that mediate anaerobic respiration in host symbiotic competence of the Euprymna-Vibrio mutualism NOURABADI, Neda*; NISHIGUCHI, Michele K.; New Mexico State University; New Mexico State University nedan@nmsu.edu The bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri and its sepiolid squid host Euprymna tasmanica has been a valuable model to underpin […]
Spatial and temporal patterns among symbiotic Vibrio fischeri Environment matters
Meeting Abstract 70.4 Friday, Jan. 6 Spatial and temporal patterns among symbiotic Vibrio fischeri: Environment matters! PUNKE, Erin B.*; NISHIGUCHI, Michele K.; New Mexico State University; New Mexico State University ebastian@nmsu.edu The association between Vibrio fischeri (γ-proteobacteria: Vibrionaceae) and the sepiolid squid, Euprymna tasmanica (Mollusca: Cephalopoda), is an ideal model for understanding how abiotic factors can drive […]
Significance of snails as habitat patches for their concomitant parasites in novel environments
Meeting Abstract 70.5 Friday, Jan. 6 Significance of snails as habitat patches for their concomitant parasites in novel environments. TOLLEY-JORDAN, L. R.*; CHADWICK, M. A.; Jacksonville State University; Kings College London ljordan@jsu.edu Melanoides tuberculata and Thiara granifera (Caenogastropoda: Thiaridae), snails native to Asia, were introduced to the Comal springs, Texas, USA in the 1960s. Subsequently, the introduction […]
