Ultrastructure of the Retinal Synapses in Cubozoans
Meeting Abstract P2.87 Jan. 5 Ultrastructure of the Retinal Synapses in Cubozoans GRAY, G. Clark*; SATTERLIE, Richard A.; University of North Carolina Wilmington; University of North Carolina Wilmington gcg4757@uncw.edu Cubozoans have evolved complex eyes comparable to that of higher multicellular animals. Two complex eyes are located on each of the four rhopalia which, in addition, contain a […]
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of heat-denatured and ubiquitylated proteins in Mytilus californianus
Meeting Abstract P2.120 Jan. 5 Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of heat-denatured and ubiquitylated proteins in Mytilus californianus LABARGE, J.*; TOMANEK, L.; California Polytechnic State Univ., San Luis Obispo jeremylabarge@gmail.com The Ubiquitin Proteasome Pathway (UPP) is the primary metabolic pathway used to degrade denatured proteins. The UPP operates by binding the small protein ubiquitin to denatured proteins by way […]
The kinship component of winter aggregation behavior in southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans)
Meeting Abstract P2.7 Jan. 5 The kinship component of winter aggregation behavior in southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans). THORINGTON, K. K.*; WEIGL, P. D.; Wake Forest University, Winston Salem NC; Wake Forest University, Winston Salem NC thorkk2@wfu.edu Southern flying squirrels are highly gregarious in winter, nesting in groups of 5-20 individuals thereby reducing thermoregulatory costs. These squirrels […]

The evolution of hedgehog signaling in vertebrate tooth development
Meeting Abstract P2.47 Jan. 5 The evolution of hedgehog signaling in vertebrate tooth development JACKMAN, William R*; STOCK, David W; University of Colorado william.jackman@colorado.edu We are interested in the diversity of tooth developmental mechanisms in vertebrates, especially between teeth that originate in different germ layers such as oral ectoderm or pharyngeal endoderm. The signaling molecule Sonic hedgehog […]
The effects of larval age on sex ratios of Heligmosomoides bakeri
Meeting Abstract P2.54 Jan. 5 The effects of larval age on sex ratios of Heligmosomoides bakeri BOYD, Carrean*; KRISTAN, Deborah M.; California State University, San Marcos boyd009@csusm.edu For many species, males and females have different life spans. However, it is unknown if this occurs for male and female parasites at the free-living infective larval (L3) stage. We […]
The effect of the oral suction disk on the station-holding performance of suckermouth catfish (Hypostomus sp)
Meeting Abstract P2.69 Jan. 5 The effect of the oral suction disk on the station-holding performance of suckermouth catfish (Hypostomus sp.) GERSTNER, C.L.; Columbia College Chicago and The University of Michigan Biological Station cgerstner@colum.edu The effect of the oral suction disk on the ability to maintain position in a current (station-holding) was determined for the suckermouth catfish […]
The effect of chronic stress on glucocorticoid concentration and metabolism
Meeting Abstract P2.115 Jan. 5 The effect of chronic stress on glucocorticoid concentration and metabolism CYR, N.E.*; ROMERO, L.M.; Tufts University; Tufts University npoiri01@tufts.edu Changes in glucocorticoid concentrations during acute stress act to mobilize energy, which enables the animal to survive stressful events. However, chronic changes in glucocorticoid concentration and metabolism can lead to disease. We studied […]
The contractile properties of mitochondria-rich and mitochondria-poor circular muscle fibers in the mantle of the long-finned squid Loligo pealei
Meeting Abstract P2.137 Jan. 5 The contractile properties of mitochondria-rich and mitochondria-poor circular muscle fibers in the mantle of the long-finned squid Loligo pealei THOMPSON, J.T.**; SZCZEPANSKI, J.A.; Franklin & Marshall College; St. Joseph\’s University joseph.thompson@fandm.edu The circular muscles of the mantle provide power for the low-amplitude mantle contractions important in ventilating the mantle cavity, as well […]
