An experimental model for quantifying the modulation of mastication to variation in food material properties in Cebus capucinus
Meeting Abstract P2.77 Jan. 5 An experimental model for quantifying the modulation of mastication to variation in food material properties in Cebus capucinus REED, D.A.*; ROSS, C.F.; Univ. of Chicago; Univ. of Chicago dreed@uchicago.edu The masticatory system is ideal for evaluating hypotheses regarding the modulation of motor systems to the external environment during rhythmic behaviors. Food material […]

Alternate overwintering strategies in the Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum Implications of refuge location on timing and duration of inactivity, thermal biology, and energetics
Meeting Abstract P2.3 Jan. 5 Alternate overwintering strategies in the Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum: Implications of refuge location on timing and duration of inactivity, thermal biology, and energetics. DAVIS, J.R.**; DENARDO, D.F.; Arizona State University, Tempe j.davis@asu.edu Low temperatures can reduce performance of many physiologic processes including digestion, immune function, and metabolic rate. Thus, in temperate environments, […]
All eggs are not created equal Inter- and intra-population variation in gastropod egg size
Meeting Abstract P2.55 Jan. 5 All eggs are not created equal: Inter- and intra-population variation in gastropod egg size COLLIN, R; Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute collinr@si.edu A single egg size is often attributed to each species of marine invertebrate, and little attention is paid to intra-specific variation in egg size. For many species, however, several different egg […]
