Meeting Abstract 74.11 Sunday, Jan. 6 Evolutionary Ecology of Wild Chilies HAAK, DC*; TEWKSBURY, JJ; MACHNICKI, N; LEVEY, DJ; University of Washington; University of Washington; University of Washington; University of Florida haakd@u.washington.edu Coevolutionary analyses of host-pathogen complexes among structured populations often suggest local adaptation of the pathogen without full analysis of the host population. Yet in some […]

Comparative sensitivity of the eyes of ontogenetically migrating crustaceans
Meeting Abstract 74.6 Sunday, Jan. 6 Comparative sensitivity of the eyes of ontogenetically migrating crustaceans WHITEHILL, E.A.G.*; FRANK, T.M.; Clemson University; Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Florida Atlantic University whitehi@clemson.edu Ontogenetically migrating crustaceans live at shallow depths as juveniles and migrate deeper into the water column as adults. Therefore, the juveniles and adults of these species experience vastly […]

The Evolution of Unguligrady and Forefoot Mechanics in Even-Toed Ungulates
Meeting Abstract 74.5 Tuesday, Jan. 6 The Evolution of Unguligrady and Forefoot Mechanics in Even-Toed Ungulates CLIFFORD, Andrew/B; Brown University andrew_clifford@brown.edu Most extant even-toed ungulates adopt an unguligrade foot posture whereby body weight is supported through hoofed distal phalanges. This foot posture is derived from a petadactyl and digitigrade foot comparable to extant canids. The digitigrade-unguligrade transition […]

Mechanical Differences between Trotting and Galloping in Quadrupeds
Meeting Abstract 74.6 Tuesday, Jan. 6 Mechanical Differences between Trotting and Galloping in Quadrupeds ROS, Ivo G*; BIEWENER, Andrew A; LEE, David V; ANTONEN, Jennifer; HIGGINS, Trevor; Harvard U.; Harvard U.; UNLV; Harvard U.; Harvard U. ivo.ros@gmail.com It is generally believed that quadrupeds transition from a trot to a gallop to reduce peak forces and galloping is […]
Maximizing power and efficiency from a limb during cyclic contractions
Meeting Abstract 74.4 Tuesday, Jan. 6 Maximizing power and efficiency from a limb during cyclic contractions WAKELING, James M*; BLAKE, Ollie; Simon Fraser University; Simon Fraser University wakeling@sfu.ca Maximizing the power output from a muscle, from the single fibre to the whole belly level, involves: (a) maximizing the level of activation (mainly during the concentric phase) with […]
