Meeting Abstract P1.13 Thursday, Jan. 3 The Effects of Regeneration on Antennule Movement Patterns During Odor Tracking in the Crayfish Orconectes sanborni MEAD, K. S. *; RICHARDSON, M.; Denison University; Denison University meadk@denison.edu Crayfish rely on chemosensory appendages (antennules) to track odors to find food, mates, and habitats. The movement of their antennules in odor sampling �flicks� […]

The Contribution of Larval Energy Stores to Adult Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster
Meeting Abstract P1.51 Thursday, Jan. 3 The Contribution of Larval Energy Stores to Adult Reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. AGUILA, J.R.*; GIBBS, A.G.; HOSHIZAKI, D.K.; Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas aguilaj@unlv.nevada.edu The larval stage of holometabolous insects is characterized by extensive feeding. This supports the rapid growth of the animal and allows the accumulation of energy stores, primarily […]
Tests for palatability and feeding deterrence in egg masses of nine species of opisthobranch gastropods
Meeting Abstract P1.80 Thursday, Jan. 3 Tests for palatability and feeding deterrence in egg masses of nine species of opisthobranch gastropods LEWIS, S.M.*; PODOLSKY, R.D.; College of Charleston, SC; College of Charleston, SC smlewis@edisto.cofc.edu Many gastropods reproduce by encapsulating embryos inside egg masses or capsules. Often conspicuous to predators due to size, location, or color, egg masses […]
