Identifying the genomic signature of selection using a simulation model
Meeting Abstract 96.3 Monday, Jan. 6 14:00 Identifying the genomic signature of selection using a simulation model FLANAGAN, S.P.*; JONES, A.G.; Texas A and M University sflanagan@bio.tamu.edu Selection on phenotypic traits is a major driver of evolutionary change, but evolution will only occur if there is a heritable component of selected traits. Understanding the effects of selection […]
Heritability of dispersal-related traits and gene expression in larvae of reef-building corals
Meeting Abstract 96.6 Monday, Jan. 6 14:45 Heritability of dispersal-related traits and gene expression in larvae of reef-building corals DAVIES, S/W*; MATZ, M/V; Univ. of Texas, Austin; Univ. of Texas, Austin daviessw@gmail.com Reef-building corals are declining as a result of both direct and indirect anthropogenic influences, including elevated sea surface temperatures due to global warming. Range shifts […]
Genetic signatures of ecological speciation in a coral-associated nudibranch
Meeting Abstract 96.5 Monday, Jan. 6 14:30 Genetic signatures of ecological speciation in a coral-associated nudibranch FRITTS-PENNIMAN, AL*; MAHARDIKA, GN; BARBER, PH; Univ. of California, Los Angeles; Udayana Univ., Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia; Univ. of California, Los Angeles afrittspenniman@ucla.edu In marine environments there are insufficient geographic barriers to attribute the great diversity of species to vicariance. However, coral […]
Genetic modeling to study limits in selection experiments for behavioral traits
Meeting Abstract 96.7 Monday, Jan. 6 15:00 Genetic modeling to study limits in selection experiments for behavioral traits HIRAMATSU, L.*; WOLAK, M.; GARLAND, T.; Univ. of California, Riverside; Univ. of California, Riverside; Univ. of California, Riverside lhira001@ucr.edu Many behaviors can be viewed as composite traits because the total amount of expression is the product of intensity and […]
Ultraviolet Fluorescence of the Rattlesnake Rattle
Meeting Abstract 96.2 Tuesday, Jan. 6 13:45 Ultraviolet Fluorescence of the Rattlesnake Rattle PLACE, AJ*; DUNBAR, G; Northwestern Oklahoma State Univ.; Northwestern Oklahoma State Univ. ajplace@nwosu.edu Animal communication is a complex process that can occur in multiple sensory modalities. The rattlesnake rattle is known to be an auditory signal used in a defensive context. We present novel […]

Meeting Abstract 96.5 Tuesday, Jan. 6 14:30 Production of sound by the white tubercled crayfish (Procambarus spiculifer) CASTRO, Y.S.*; UYENO, T.A.; Valdosta State University; Valdosta State University yscastro@valdosta.edu In this study, we describe the production of sound by the white tubercled crayfish (Procambarus spiculifer). Despite the fact that much is known about the white tubercled crayfish’s life […]
Intensity modulation in toad calls scales inversely with body size are large males ending on a good note
Meeting Abstract 96.4 Tuesday, Jan. 6 14:15 Intensity modulation in toad calls scales inversely with body size: are large males ending on a good note? CLARK, BJ; HUCKANS, JH*; IBRAHIM, GT; HRANITZ, JM; Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania jhranitz@bloomu.edu The ability to distinguish fundamental frequency from resonant frequency in vertebrates with tubular vocal tracts essentially eliminated dominant frequency […]
