Meeting Abstract P2.130 Friday, Jan. 4 Activities of antioxidant enzymes and membrane susceptibility to lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle from temperature-acclimated bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) MILES, DRB*; GRIM, JM; CROCKETT, EL; Ohio University; Ohio University; Ohio University dm359002@ohio.edu With temperature variation, poikilotherms remodel membrane lipids by making adjustments in phospholipid composition in order to protect membrane physical properties […]
A striking lack of genetic diversity across a wide ranging amphibian, Gastrophryne carolinensis
Meeting Abstract P2.6 Friday, Jan. 4 A striking lack of genetic diversity across a wide ranging amphibian, Gastrophryne carolinensis MAKOWSKY, R.*; RISSLER, L. J.; University of Alabama; University of Alabama makowsky@uta.edu We examine the phylogeographic structure of a wide-ranging microhylid frog (Gastrophryne carolinensis) using both mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear (AFLP) data. Species with similar ecological and demographic […]

Urea-Induced Metabolic Depression Varies Seasonally in Isolated Organs of the Wood Frog
Meeting Abstract P1.58 Thursday, Jan. 3 Urea-Induced Metabolic Depression Varies Seasonally in Isolated Organs of the Wood Frog MUIR, T.J.*; COSTANZO, J.P.; LEE JR, R.E.; Miami University Muirtj@muohio.edu Animals faced with adverse environmental conditions often undergo periods of extended dormancy characterized by a substantial metabolic depression. Several species from diverse taxa accumulate urea during those times, and […]
