How does the intramandibular joint facilitate feeding in Poecilia mexicana
Meeting Abstract 79.5 Tuesday, Jan. 6 11:15 How does the intramandibular joint facilitate feeding in Poecilia mexicana? JONES, A I*; GIBB, A C; Northern Arizona University aj324@nau.edu The intramandibular joint (IMJ) is located in the lower jaw of several substrate-feeding teleosts and is typically found between the dentary and angular-articular. This secondary jaw joint allows an increased […]

Meeting Abstract 79.4 Tuesday, Jan. 6 11:00 Going ballistic: an intermediate tongue-projection mechanism in the plethodontid salamander Hemidactylium scutatum BLOOM, S.V.*; DEBAN, S.M.; University of South Florida; University of South Florida svbloom@mail.usf.edu An elastic-recoil mechanism of tongue projection in plethodontid salamanders provides benefits to terrestrial feeding including high-powered dynamic movements and thermal insensitivity, advantages not found in […]
The mechanosensory lateral line system activates socially relevant brain regions during territorial interactions in an African cichlid fish
Meeting Abstract 79-4 Wednesday, Jan. 6 08:45 The mechanosensory lateral line system activates socially relevant brain regions during territorial interactions in an African cichlid fish BUTLER, J.M.*; MARUSKA, K.P.; Louisiana State University jbutl48@lsu.edu Fish must integrate information from multiple senses during social interactions to make appropriate behavioral decisions. We recently demonstrated that the lateral line system is […]
