Meeting Abstract P1.112 Thursday, Jan. 3 Thermogenesis of digestion in juvenile Burmese pythons. POWOLNY, T.; SECOR, S.M.; LIGNOT, J-H*; CNRS; University of Alabama; University Louis Pasteur J-H.Lignot@c-strasbourg.fr Burmese pythons experience dramatic increases in metabolism during meal digestion. In this study we investigated the extent that meal induced thermogenesis contributes to altering the body temperature of digesting Burmese […]

The role of transcription in centrosomal localization during development of the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta
Meeting Abstract P1.48 Thursday, Jan. 3 The role of transcription in centrosomal localization during development of the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta. COOLEY, J.R.*; NAGY, L.M.; University of Arizona; University of Arizona cooley@u.arizona.edu Through a unique developmental process in the marine mud snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta, mRNAs are asymmetrically inherited via centrosomal localization by the daughter micromere (Lambert and […]
The relationship of mandibular strain to variance in the chew cycle phase slow close in Cebus capucinus
Meeting Abstract P1.107 Thursday, Jan. 3 The relationship of mandibular strain to variance in the chew cycle phase slow close in Cebus capucinus REED, D.A.*; ROSS, C.F.; University of Chicago; University of Chicago dreed@uchicago.edu The variance in chew cycle phase durations during mammalian mastication is typically used as evidence for active modulation. A system which combines high-resolution, […]
The eternal tug fatigue failure of wave-swept macroalgae in conditions of repeated subcritical loading
Meeting Abstract P1.90 Thursday, Jan. 3 The eternal tug: fatigue failure of wave-swept macroalgae in conditions of repeated subcritical loading. MACH, K.J.; Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University mach@stanford.edu A seaweed on a wave-swept shore may endure more than 8000 wave-induced loadings each day. Perhaps not surprisingly, many intertidal seaweeds experience dislodgment and breakage in particular seasons […]

Meeting Abstract P1.40 Thursday, Jan. 3 The effects of multiple courses of glucocorticoids on the fetal guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) scalenus muscle RHOADS, S.K.**; HERROLD, M.L.; HELLIE, A.C.; WEIGAND, K.L.; DEAROLF, J.L.; Hendrix College, Conway, AR rhoadssk@hendrix.edu Synthetic glucocorticoids are administered to pregnant women in order to improve neonatal viability when preterm labor is a threat. However, […]
The effects of micronutrients on the foraging behavior of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes
Meeting Abstract P1.65 Thursday, Jan. 3 The effects of micronutrients on the foraging behavior of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes BOTCH, PS*; JUDD, TM; Southeast Missouri State University; Southeast Missouri State University psbotch@semo.edu The subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) has a diet consisting primarily of cellulose, which is low in nutritional value. In a forested environment, subterranean termites […]
