Who makes the settlement cue for larvae of Phestilla sibogae
Meeting Abstract 81.4 Monday, Jan. 6 11:00 Who makes the settlement cue for larvae of Phestilla sibogae? MENINZOR, D.; ASAHINA, A.; HADFIELD, M.G.*; University of Hawaii at Manoa hadfield@hawaii.edu For more than 40 years, researchers in the Hadfield laboratory have made “metamorphic inducer” for larvae of the nudibranch Phestilla sibogae by soaking pieces of the nudibranch’s prey […]
Time series analysis and visualization of midwater zooplankton ecology Automating long-term studies of the VARS dataset
Meeting Abstract 81.1 Monday, Jan. 6 10:15 Time series analysis and visualization of midwater zooplankton ecology: Automating long-term studies of the VARS dataset JAFFE, A.L.*; HADDOCK, S.H.D; Harvard University; Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute alexanderjaffe@college.harvard.edu This study uses multi-decadal time series from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute’s unique VARS database to illustrate spatio-temporal patterns of abundance […]

Meeting Abstract 81.2 Monday, Jan. 6 10:30 Oceanic Sea Star Larvae Host Microbial Community Dominated by Cyanobacteria of the Genus Synechococcus BOSCH, I*; SNYDER, S.M.; GALAC, M.R.; JANIES, D.A; State University of New York, Geneseo; University of South Florida, St. Petersburg; University of North Carolina, Charlotte; University of North Carolina, Charlotte bosch@geneseo.edu Sea star planktotrophic larvae provisionally […]
Effects of predator odor on photobehavior, visual sensitivity, and morphology of crab larvae
Meeting Abstract 81.3 Monday, Jan. 6 10:45 Effects of predator odor on photobehavior, visual sensitivity, and morphology of crab larvae CHARPENTIER, C.L.*; COHEN, J.H.; University of Delaware; University of Delaware charpecl@udel.edu Many zooplankton exhibit specialized behavioral and morphological predator defense strategies that are induced by predator detection. For example, exposure to predator odor enhances photobehavior in the […]

Are Planktotrophic Calyptraeids Pre-adapted for Adelphophagic Development
Meeting Abstract 81.5 Monday, Jan. 6 11:15 Are Planktotrophic Calyptraeids “Pre-adapted” for Adelphophagic Development? THOMSEN, O.; COLLIN, R.*; CARRILLO-BALTODANO, A.; Univ. Oldenburg; Smithsonian Tropical Res. Inst.; Clark Univ. collinr@si.edu Adelphophagy, development where embryos grow large by consuming morphologically distinct nutritive embryos or their own normal siblings is common in some families of marine gastropods and worms and […]
Wing bone laminarity is not an adaptation for torsional resistance in bats
Meeting Abstract 81.3 Tuesday, Jan. 6 10:45 Wing bone laminarity is not an adaptation for torsional resistance in bats LEE, A.H.*; SIMONS, E.L.R.; Midwestern University alee712@gmail.com Torsional loading is a common feature of skeletal biomechanics during vertebrate flight. The importance of resisting torsional loads is best illustrated by the convergence of wing bone structure (e.g., long with […]
Predicting Weight Support Based on Wake Measurements of a Flying Bird in Still Air
Meeting Abstract 81.7 Tuesday, Jan. 6 11:45 Predicting Weight Support Based on Wake Measurements of a Flying Bird in Still Air GUTIERREZ, E*; LENTINK, D; Stanford University; Stanford University eguti007@stanford.edu The wake development of a freely flying Pacific Parrotlet (Forpus coelestis) was examined in still air. The bird was trained to fly from perch to perch through […]
