Investigating the costs of reproductive anemia associated with egg-production in European Starlings
Meeting Abstract 56.5 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Investigating the costs of reproductive anemia associated with egg-production in European Starlings FRONSTIN, Raime B*; WILLIAMS, Tony D; Simon Fraser University, Burnaby rbf1@sfu.ca Costs of reproduction are widely considered to be a driving force in shaping the evolution of life history traits. Although costs of increased egg production have been well […]

Meeting Abstract 56.3 Tuesday, Jan. 5 A Sexual Shift Induced by an Androgenic Gland Insulin-Like Gene Silencing in Intersex Crayfish ROSEN, O.*; MANOR, R.; WEIL, S.; LINIAL, A.; AFLALO, E.D.; SAGI, A.; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; […]
Rowing through air A new mode of forward flight in insects
Meeting Abstract 55.5 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Rowing through air: A new mode of forward flight in insects COHEN, I.*; RISTROPH, L.; BERGOU, A. J.; GUCKENHEIMER, J.; WANG, Z. J.; Cornell University; Cornell University; Cornell University; Cornell University; Cornell University ic64@cornell.edu We show that fruit flies employ rowing or paddling motions of their wings to generate drag-based thrust […]
Phase modulation and control of flight power muscles during visually-induced turning responses in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta
Meeting Abstract 55.4 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Phase modulation and control of flight power muscles during visually-induced turning responses in the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta SPONBERG, S.*; DANIEL, T.L.; Univ. of Washington; Univ. of Washington bergs@u.washington.edu The established perspective of flight control in insects holds that their remarkable maneuverability arises from neural modulation of relatively small steering muscles acting […]
Optomotor frequency response in hawkmoths
Meeting Abstract 55.1 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Optomotor frequency response in hawkmoths. BOMPHREY, R.J.*; TAYLOR, G.K.; University of Oxford richard.bomphrey@zoo.ox.ac.uk We investigated the optomotor responses of several species of hawkmoth in a virtual reality flight simulator. Subjects were rigidly tethered to a 6-component force-moment balance inside a 1m diameter sphere which served as a back-projection surface for providing […]
